Working On It

It's killing me that I haven't managed to do anything with my pictures from our vacation yet! But when it was all said and done there was 1500 pictures on my camera. About 1000 of them are pictures that I took, and I did a little bit of looking through those and deleting the bad ones along the way. But not that much. And it does include a fair amount of cemetery pictures, which, although I am pretty excited about them, I doubt that I will post here. The last 500 pictures were taken of the mountains on I-70 as we headed out of Utah. My little sister wanted to take some pictures, so I set it up and handed it to her and I fell asleep. She was a happy camper! The end result is that there are, ah, several pictures to go through. I wanted to get the worst of the fuzzy ones (hers and mine) off the camera before I download them. I'm still working on it.

My Apologies, Bakers

I am using the first of my 4 free months in June: I was out of town from the 8th to the 28th, gardening like mad the 2 weeks before we left, and then sick as soon as we got home. Just not enough time in the day, although it looks like I missed out on the Danish Pastry this month, and that's a bummer. To see how things turned out for those who actually managed to do this month's challenge, browse through these blogs.


Errr.... now that I think about it, I missed the Opera Cake too. I am bummed about them both, and may have to try one or the other of them as an extra in August. We'll be out of town again in July, and although I am going to attempt to do the challenge, there's no way I'm going to get any extra in.

A Very Good Question

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James 5:14-15


I am incredibly grateful for the elders of the church, particularly for Andy, and the Priesthood that he brings to our home. Yesterday, I was quite sick. (That's why I'm late posting my scripture.) We called another brother to come and assist and they blessed me. Today I am so much better.

Home Again!

After almost 3 weeks of vacationing we're back HOME. It's good to be home. Monkey is trying out his new Big Boy Bed this evening. We realized that he seems to sleep more soundly on a real mattress than he was on the crib mattress on the toddler bed, so although it was extremely cute, and even though he hasn't actually outgrown it, we're trying him on a big boy bed. I may get some of those little fence things to put next to him, even though it's just a mattress on the floor. There's not far to fall, but the little fence things on his toddler bed were more than just decoration! It's just one more thing in the ongoing efforts to get the little guy to sleep in his own bed at least part of the time.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
-John 16:33
