Pictures of quarantine life and Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving dinner
Lucy got to make a costume for her stage design class for a zombie apocalypse scene.

Ruth lost another tooth
Lilly painted her fingernails and helped Beth paint hers
Lilly’s friends dropped off a treat for her
Beth and Ruth have these sparkly jackets that turn them in to little disco balls in the right light. They are amazing and blending at the same time.
Play dough has been a great distraction for Beth.
I made this quilt for Ellie for her birthday. I got it done a little quicker once I found out her Aunt Liz had passed away. It turned in to a way to do something that might help when I didn’t know what else to do. 
Lucy started this art project. She has the book The Doggist and has chosen pictures from it to paint. She is going to add some family dogs too.
A lot of days ended this way. Gathered around chatting
Lilly finished this mug for her ceramics class.
We have been together a lot and Gunner chases light that is reflected off devices.
Gunner has decided he is part couch potato.
Everyone decorated for Christmas but me. That’s usually how it works out. I think I was working on dishes from Thanksgiving. 
I wore a mask so much I had to make a headband with buttons to give my ears some relief from the elastic pressure 
I finally finished and gifted this quilt to my friend who played  the piano solo at Roberta’s funeral. It’s never to late to say thank you, I hope. 
Glen, Lucy and Daryl made a new shelter for the goats out of pallet wood.

Losing teeth! Painting nails! Sparkly jackets! I am sorry you are quarantined, but I love what you are doing with it. The dog project was truly amazing. And your quilts are such gifts of love!

Your quilts and Lucy's artwork made me smile. Also, that Gunner chases device lights -- aren't pets good for comic relief? Glen is nifty the way he keeps busy. What a guy!

(PS - we now have and APO address, so when that pesky Nevada DMV gets us the title, we'll get it to you right away.)

California here we come

July 15-19  Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him.  Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality.  Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

 I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many.  Being home to attend church with our ward.  Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well.  They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life.  A great less...

Conversations with Lucy

Lucy-" Mom, Do you know what you can't do?" Mom-"No, what?" Lucy-" You can't put root beer in the microwave. You can't put it in the microwave or else it will explode." Mom- " Is that right?" Lucy- " Yeah, and do you know what else you can't do, you can't put candy in the microwave or else it will explode too. Yeah!"
