May Post

Gotta get a May Post in! May was fun. I went to SLC to get Emily from the U.

We went to Idaho to see Grandma and Grandpa Garcia and to meet Porter's new bride, Kelsey. Plus we got to have dinner at Betsy's house. Always an honor! In spite of the long drive, both ways, it was a fun trip.

Mary and Ann finished up Senior High Tennis and Mary lettered. Woot!

Chris and Mary both had end of the year recitals. Chris on the Piano and Mary on the violin. I wish I was capable of posting video. Alas, I am not. [insert sad face here.]

I'm glad all of my little chickadees are back in the nest for a moment!

I think you are very hip. Especially because you use the term "woot." I'm not even that cool, yet.

By the way...23 years of marriage. That is awesome. We're coming up on our 7th year and I was thinking that was nearly forever...

Catching Up 2013

Panning to the right. Continuing to the right. The sewing machine right next to the door.  The ironing board stored.   Super comfy fainting couch.  Perfect for napping while I watch TV. The corner behind the door. One Sunday, while listening to the talks in Sacrament Meeting, I heard this great quote from Plato regarding self-control.  The talk was about fasting.  It was a really good talk.  So, I asked, Sister Gina McQueen for a copy of the quote and cut it out in vinyl and hung it on the ceiling going down the stairs.  Chris sa

Pumpkin pie

We got one pumpkin out of our garden this summer.  It was smallish.  I cut the corn stalks and tied them together and put them on the front porch with the little pumpkin next to them foe decoration for October.  November 1st I threw out the cornstalks and moved the pumpkin to the other side of the door, and I thought, "I wonder what it takes to make pumpkin pie from a real pumpkin."  So, thanks to google, I found a  Website , and, voila!  Mike and I made two of the most delicious pumpkin pies in the history of our pumpkin pies!  No time to take a photo, one is history, the other is in the freezer!
