After hiking the volcano and a quick stop at Milne Jewelery (oh goodness how it was SO hard to make that a quick stop with daughters!) we took all the kids to see the St. George LDS Temple. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s brother was married there, which is also the last time Mr. FR and I […]
We Climbed a Volcano!
Last week we took a trip to visit Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s sister in St. George, UT. One of the things we did was hike up Cinder Cone Trail to the top of this cinder cone volcano. There are actually two parts to the trail or two ways up to the top – straight up 500 […]

My oldest daughter (almost 9 yrs) is all about hard work and correctness. My other […]
Simple Pleasures Autumn Edition Part III
Simple list today as I am traveling – will be for the next two days. I am also thankful for trials whenever, however they come, big or small. I love this quote from Elder Paul V. Johnson’s April 2011 General Conference talk, “[Trials] are vitally important to the process of putting on the divine nature. […]
Simple Pleasures: Autumn Edition Part II
More simple pleasures I enjoy in autumn. The Harvest Moon over the mountains to the east. I really like this glow! My Pilgrims. My mother-in-law picked these up for me years ago from Costco.

Simple Pleasures: Turron
If you haven’t ever tried true Spanish Turron you are missing out! This almond paste one on the right is what I particularly remember from my childhood when my grandfather would return from his trips to Spain. Just taking a single little bite brings back a flood of memories. Just one of the many simple […]
