Thanksgiving


Taylor and Sadie choose their hats and decorated them, well done!

Rob and his family came, they brought Duncan. Ben and his family came. Luke and his girlfriend, Taylor came.
We went to the Christmas light parade on Friday and then the DIL and I went to a black light zumba party at the Maridel center.
We played miniature golf with the little ones and the big boys played laser tag. Luke then challenged his girlfriend, Taylor to a killer game of ping pong. the little ones played air hockey.
We had a delightful Thanksgiving feast.
Luke and Taylor made the smashed tators and brought a delightful cheesecake and sparkling cider.
Rob and Lindsey made a hot green bean casserole and a berry pie.
Ben and Lindsy made 2 kinds of yummy rolls, chocolate pecan rollos and a delicious pumpkin roll.
Duncan made a wonderful pie.
We made the turkey, cranberry juice, dressing, and Reese's Peanut butter  cups.

Boise Temple Cultural Event

Andrew is in the middle in a blue shirt. He is a wagon wheel.

Here Andrew is kneeling,.
The Boise temple cultural event had over 8,000 youth participating. They were in the Taco Bell arena part of Boise State University. They had a morning practice and them presented it to the prophet that evening. They had all kinds of dances, a slap dance, jitterbug, a human flag, a ballet and a march of Eagle Scouts and girls with their YW medallions. It was amazing to watch.

Happiness Is


My Sunday School lesson is on repentance and happiness. I rewrote the lyrics from Charles Schultz.
it has the seminary answers in it, go figure. 

Happiness Is

Happiness is reading your scriptures,
Saying your prayers,
Getting the priesthood.
Happiness is paying your tithing,
Going to the temple for the very first time.


Happiness is going to church,
living the gospel,
visiting teachers.
Happiness is having a calling,
Sharing with neighbors
Family Home Evening.
For happiness is eternal and everlasting too
when you live true.

High Fiber Diet Show


I have entered 2 art projects for the High Fiber  Show at Arts East. The first is a wall hanging called "Change of Heart". It has nine squares with a variation of heart or love, such as;  black heart, broken heart, purple heart, tough love, envious heart, chicken heart etc. Art is supposed to make you think. I thought it would sell for someone's cubicle.
The second art project is 'tie dye'. I used parts of silk ties on a pillow and put another plain cloth on top of it, rolled it up and boiled it in a pot for 20 minutes. The result was an echo image that I used for the backing of the pillow. I thought is was too muted to use for a front but I liked the effect. Art is also trying new techniques.Iwon't know until next week if they were chosen for the show or not. The website for the show is http://artseast.org on the right is listed the high fiber diet exhibit where you can find more info. I seem to have more time to finish the little projects.
