part II

She eats like a dog too. She even fits into this crate. No pictures, remember he is only 6-7 pounds.

We love both of them.

Wisconsin

We just got back from Wisconsin visiting Tim and family. They called a week ago and wanted us to come. So off we went. We ate out and just had a wonderful time enjoying the kids.
Rugby eating one of the many ice cream cones we had. Knowing we were leaving the next morning. He came up with a great idea so we could stay. He told his mom we could stay and she could just go out and buy us some more clothes to wear. How easy the problem was solved. This really touched me that he really wanted us to stay. Emerson enjoying his ice cream.

The girls the night before we left.

Scout the newest member of their family. What a cute lovable little puppy he was.

I never remember to take pictures. But I did get a few.

The Sewing Room

I have taken over the downstairs living room and turn it into my sewing room.
Since it is a sewing room. I decided to decorate it with things that are handmade.
First is this tie dye and wax picture from Kenya, Africa. My sister brought it home from Kenya for me. I don't know what it is called. a closer up Just look at the work that was put into it. The fifth bird from the left they forgot to put the black over the orange. Little mistakes like that just make it more special to me. Machines don't make mistakes.

From Chile

Peru. All the little figures are hand made and sewn on to the background. tons of handwork.

One of my bobbin lace pieces.

Come and visit me and you can see the rest of the stuff.

Poor fig tree

Our fig tree was sick and needed to come down.

It was a beautiful shade tree with a swing.

The grandkids will miss the swing.

I'll miss the figs and shade.

one hour later.



This is all that is left of it.

Thanks fig tree for giving us many happy hours.
We love you and will miss you.

CHILE SENIOR MISSIONAIES PART i

We went to Utah to a reunion of the Senior missionaries we served with in Chile. As my daughter often said (A friend made in Chile is a life time Friend).
We came from all over just to see each other. It was so neat to see them and hear what everyone is doing now. The evening was just too short. This is just a few of the sisters.
The tall one in pink is on her way to China to teach English. I could go on and on with stories of the good each couple is doing or has done. They were the best of best. I feel honored to know them. We stayed over night in three cabins, This is the Snows, no picture of the Austins' and then ate dinner at Dennis's brother Tims. All very different but special at the same time. I have no idea which I liked best.

I took pictures of lots of wild flowers. I love flowers wild or tame.

We ate good. Way too good.

I think I gained back all the weigh I had just lost. When someone else cooks it, it is always better.

Chille Senior missionaries part II

We played cards, Carol and I lost most of the time. Adele and I won big on the last hand we played. All in all we had a good time. We saw beautiful mountians, all over Utah. I miss the Utah Mountians.

The fearless fishermen. No one caught anything, so nothing to clean.

We saw lost of wild life.

We were on the Snow's quads. I was behind Dennis. Stop there is a moose , Dennis answered it is just a statue. I answered him IT IS MOVING. Sure enough it was alive and could care less we were there.

We had a wonderful time. I came home tired and glad to sleep in my bed.

Bobbin Lace and etc.

Here is a couple of butterflies that I recently finished. Fun Fun Fun

The grandkids were over last week. Eating red velvet mini cupcakes.
Of course grandma had to have something good to eat.

Lily got into my makeup, again I hope there is some lip stick left.

Jakie napping with Dennis.

I caught Lily with her face in Jakie's bowl eating dog food. But moved too fast for a picture and would not pose for me to take a picture. Then she put one of Jake's toy in her mouth and ran around in circles teasing him with it. But no picture of that either. But he just loves her anyway.
