June Blessings

June 14, 2020

    We continue to be limited in what we can do outside of our home and yard, but we have tried be productive.  We are grateful that our garden is doing well and the flowers in the yard are beautiful.  This is the month when my roses really produce and I love bringing a bouquet indoors.  I finished a rag quilt I was making for a late shower gift.  I continue to practice the piano.  I have also been able to find names to reserve for the temple.  It has been good to clean out the shed and the garage.  We had a lunch with all my living siblings.  It was good to be together.  Bruce and Sally brought Lori and Karen and we were pleased to visit with them as well.  Unfortunately, Craig was sick and could not join us.  We were especially grateful to go back to church today.  It was wonderful to worship with other ward members.  I am grateful we were prepared to worship at home when the pandemic began,  and could have continued to do it, but we miss being with our ward family.  June 5th was our home's 42 birthday.  We are grateful for this sacred place in our lives for all those years.

Happy Yellow Day

May 17, 2020
This is the day the rating changed from orange to yellow, meaning we could have gatherings of fifty or more.  We had dinner in the evening and everyone enjoyed getting together, even though not so many were fond of the hawaiian haystacks.  I though it fit the yellow theme well and we also had lemon meringue pie for dessert.
It was great for the cousins to get together.

Topaz Mountain

May 22, 2020
When Craig got up this morning I could tell he needed a change in routine.  I said, "Why don't we got to Topaz mountain.  I called Richard for directions and he and Kathy decided to go too.  It was about two hours away.  We had a good lunch at a restaurant in Delta.  Craig and Kathy hunted for Topaz when we got there,  while Richard and I sat in camp chairs and had a nice visit.  Richard let us do some target practice with Kathy's gun while we were there.  It was good to get out and have a change of Pace.
