If I Could Be A Flower

I would choose to be a daffodil--they are so "hardy"--pardon the pun. But these daffodils started to bloom over a week ago and then they went through a week of freezing nights and totally bent to the will of the wind and snow and look at them now...

A New Project

It's just a beginning and a continual mess to clean up but look what I am up to now.

For over 10 years I have had a doll house kit taking up space in my garage. Voila!! I am getting busy on it. I am no artist and my eyesight will miss a lot but it is fun... I am thinking it should be a house for my favorite Seven Dwarfs--if I can find some miniature dolls with Snow White, of course.

Matt's Birthday!

Alison and Mitch-- Melissa, Maria, Mark and Michael-- My daughter invited me to the Happy Garden in Susanville to celebrate Matt's 20th birthday. As a birthday present they are fixing his car which he brought home from North Star.

Looking good, Matt!

TIME OUT for Women

Saturday we spent at the Convention Center in Reno at Time Out for Women. Michael McLean and Cherie Call were the singers with their stories to tell and I have several CDs of Michael McClean but Cherie was new to me. I felt extravagant as I bought her CDs to add to my 225 (e) collection but this morning as I listened to her I thought what a great way to start the day. She writes meaningful stories with terrific lyrics. What insight for such a young woman. Maria with the pretty curly hair brought her friend Connie with the pretty straight hair and Marjorie came with me. It was a lovely day with good speakers, good food, and good talk.

We stayed at a new Hampton Inn and used some of my Hilton points mostly earned when I stayed at a Hampton in Beaumont, Texas during Hurricane Rita.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow!

My neighbors back yard shows the beautiful heavy laden trees and see the icicles out my front door. The snow is very heavy on the roof -- we had about 54 inches in February and we had a lot of power outs. Next time I will have better plans of what to do for several hours of darkness in the candlelight! I was able to watch one movie on the laptop before the charger went out and then I did lots of dancing to my singing...

Farewell to Mona!

Saturday night the ward gathered to say farewell to Mona Lyddon. She is moving to Phoenix to be near her children and we will miss her so. She has such a big heart and loving spirit. She was the backbone of Seneca Hospice for many years and also a nurse at the hospital. Marjorie and I had a dinner date with her so just brought her over to the church and she was surprised!!

Lots of good food to share--In fact there was so much it was decided to eat again after Church the next day--unfortunately some of us were snowed in and didn't make it...
