Carole's Family on Mother's Day

 Bethany must have been taking the picture.  Jon and Chris in back.  Carole looks so pretty.

Raina and Sage are so grown up and cute Fin looks very sober today.

Mother's Day 2021

I did not go to any of the children's homes for Mother's Day but I did have cards, and messages from Linda and James and talked to them.  Linda has also taken me to my dental appointment and paid for it, that was much appreciated.

Maria came over and took both Michael and I to Chin's for dinner.  It was delicious.  Because of my teeth extractions, I stuck to the Assorted Won Ton soup mostly and it was delicious.  I did not eat any of the Cream Cheese Wontons.  I do not know why I had my readings glasses on??  Sadie could not get into grooming until the 28th!

Such beautiful red roses Maria brought over.  I could always count on Richard for red roses.  She remembered.

 

Gluten Free Bread, the Best Yet

I have been trying to use up my food before I leave and saw I had a bread mix I have never used.  In talking to Margot later I learned it was one she had sent me and I had not bought it at Albertsons.  It is the King Arthur Bread and Pizza Mix and costs $6.95 on their web.  Amazon has six boxes for $54 to $56 which is outrageous and changes from day to day.  It turns out though that it is the best I have ever made.  It is more like regular bread, not so dense and I even used Almond Milk and it tasted great.  Definitely will have to keep my Bosch mixer so I can make this again!!!!

 Incidentally, Bethany told me that in Utah I can find parts to my Bosch mixer so maybe I could get the blender replaced? 

I did try and make a duplicate bread out of the King Arthur gluten free flour but it was definitely not the same as this.

Carole and Janet

I am not exactly sure why Carole and I were exchanging pictures on this day but here they are.

 

Massey Garden

When I left my home in Lake Almanor I took down the hanging handprints of the Massey children and gave them back to Meagan.  She sent over and showed that they are now hanging in their garden!!!

 

Church during the Pandemic

I am not sure why I took this picture or if it did it accidently but I have enjoyed being able to listen to church without any problem on my phone because my hearing aids bring in anything I get on my phone such as books and this Zoom very clearly.   I can hear so well now with my Costco hearing aids.  I prefer to listen to church this way now all the time.

 

Easter Lilies and A Laugh

The Easter Lilies Meagan brought over have bloomed so beautifully.

The mess I made when I tried to shred and transfer the shredings to a garbage bag really made me laugh.

It was made even worse by the face I had on fuzzy sox that picked up the shreds and I had a trail all through the house!!!

 

Eden's Quilt

I have been letting family choose items I just cannot keep anymore as I will have no storage at Treeo.  There were a number of blankets up for grabs when the Massey children were there and Eden immediately spoke in a quiet voice.  "I would like that one." And it is perfect for her.  Here she is getting her report ready to share on her "Interesting Item" at school.

This quilt was a gift of a wall hanging when Richard and I moved into our Rancho Bernardo house or possibly the children gave it to me when we were still in the La Jolla house for the small middle bedroom.  I cannot remember which now  But it is beautiful and will look lovely on her bed.

 

Getting Ready To Move

This will probably be the size of my table in the new place in Orem as the oval would probably be too long, but this should be just fine!

 

I am a  little worried about using the single bed because Sadie has always slept with me and usuallyshe sleeps on the other side, but see how she pushed me to the edge last night.  I need to have her learn to sleep in a new little bed of her own.  That may be a challenge.  She is 8 years old.  There is only room for one single bed and I have two of them (electrric beds).  Carole would like to take the other one as she also needs to raise her legs occasionally an it is just very accomodating for an older  person to use an electric bed to raise what needs raising to be comfortable and sleep well or sit up in bed without hurting your back.  Just need to figure how to get it from Utah to Montana!

This shirt from my SBA days is so large, I am sending it to Goodwill.  Just had to take a pix of the beautiful embroidery on it showing the disaster I served on.  This is the one where I came home in winter 2004 in Lake Almanor and the berm on my driveway was so thick a ward member brought over his equipment to clean my driveway.  Next day he was riding his snowmobile and had a tragic accdent and was in a coma for a long time with a serious brain injury.  This changed his life forever.  He was a millionarire with ownership of franchises and flew his own plane and drove his own motorhome.  No more, but he did recover and retrained himself, but never 100%.  He  became a very humble man, who I dearly loved chatting with about his latest travels.  (His wife or brother drove.)  He has dedicated his life to temple service on his travels and sold their large luxurious house, plane, etc.  Changed his life but a very beautiful person with a different life and is financially ok, too.  

My furnace had just gone out, so I arrived just in time to have that replaced, too.

 

Sadie does love to sit and view her little kingdom,  a lot smaller than when we were in Lake Almanor but she loves to sit in the sun and enjoys it.

Easter Sunday, 2021

I had suggested to the family some time ago that everyone should come over after Conference on Easter Sunday.  The only confirmations I go immediatgely were from Meagan and Linda.  Maria and Johnny were going to Catalina to celebrate their 10th Wedding Anniversary at the place they had honeymooned.

So I cleaned the patio and lo and behold we had Linda and Gary with Craig, and all the James Hardy family and all the Matt Massey family so it was a fun Easter with Cafe Rio salad tacos and salads and goodies and easter eggs hidden for the little ones.  

But no one took any pictures!!!!!!  But here is my clean patio.  And more things got chosen that I cannot take with me....It was so fun to be together after so long doing the Covid thing.
