Love One Another FHE
In time for Valentine’s Day, this lesson teaches us how to follow Jesus’ example and love everyone. This lesson was put together by Mindy Z. from my FHE Swap. She did a great job! For some reason the lessons are printing really big, cutting some of the images off. The best way to avoid this […]
Well, in out country….
“. . . said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhereelse — if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.” “A slow sortof country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running youcan do, to keep in the same place. If you want […]
Moan Say What?
Those who know me (I’m talking friends, not family) probably remember the first time we were introduced and heard my name spoken. OK, you probably don’t remember anything except that it was very strange, different, and hard to pronounce. Montserrat How do you say it? Mon see rat? Mont say rat? You see why I […]

Echoes From Our House Last Night
Cookie’s recitation of the second Article of Faith: “We believe that men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam’s ranch dressing.” (It’s supposed to be transgression). While playing musical chairs….Brownie: “Semisweet always wins because she uses her big hips to boot everyone off the chair.”Me: “She’s just using the gifts she’s […]

We hardly ever get rain here in northern Nevada. When we do the kids make the best of it by splashing to their hearts’ content. I love this photo of my daughter. Even though there are bikes to ride or swings to play on she chose to jump in the puddles. Check out I♥Faces for […]

I had a hard time deciding between several photos for this week’s category of joy. I finally chose this one of a special friend, Delaney. He has some mental disabilities but tries hard to do what he can with what he has been given. I have a close-up of Delaney’s face in the series of […]
