Is it a stalagmite or stalactite?

This is not something you see very often.  

It is an icicle hanging from our neighbor's roof.

We've had snow, cold, snow, cold, melting, and cold again, 

hence we'd had lots of icicles this year.

Isn't this a beautiful photo taken on this sunny day?

My 4 Generation Pedigree Chart with Photos

I finally had the time and inclination to put my mothers work into an updated format.  Here is my 4 generation pedigree chart.  I hope to continue on with the additional photos and information. I hope you enjoy...feel free to download and keep a copy.  xoxo Pat

(If there are any mistakes they are mine. My Mom kept excellent and accurate records.)

Three Unique Quilts

 Well, I tried my hand and some pieced quilts.  I just wanted to get rid of some scraps I had around.

 It's not worth all the work to just give away, so 

I'll hang on to them for awhile and give them so someone really special. 

Tell me what you think! 

Lots of snow in Logan

I spent a few days in Omaha, Nebraska. Enjoyed my sister Judy and her two granddaughters. I had a delay in getting home because of snow in Utah.

The pictures are of: 1) Judy's granddaughters, Hadley and Tatum, 2) photo of Judy's livingroom, and 3) views from my patio doors looking into the patio benches and the snow laden pine tree.

Today I shoveled the patio and shook the tree limbs to remove the snow.

I had a good visit but am glad to be home!

Ten of My Favorite People

My refrigerator is finally updated, again, with current photos of each of my grandchildren.

Mason and Natalie belong to Max & Brigitte.  

Isis and Phoenix belong to Nick and Jasmine. 

That leaves Luke, Lily, Mabel, Nell, Paul, and Samuel as Andy and Sally's children.Now, an announcement...Sally is expecting another baby in May/June.

 That will make 11 grandchildren in all. 

 I am so proud of each of them.  As the year goes by I hope to send you news and updates of their lives. They are a great joy to me and keep me from getting lonely (since Rick works way to many hours.)

Christmas page---the tradition continues

Merry Christmas on this Christmas Eve! 

Rick and I decided to use REJOICE as our theme for making our traditional Christmas page.  We could use the computer this year so they look very professional.  I read to Rick some of our previous pages and asked him to extend himself and use some more words to express his thoughts.  I think he really out did himself this year! 

We hope you enjoy reading our traditional page and feel of the LOVE we have for Jesus Christ.  Know too, that you, our family and friends, are loved by Him and by us! 

May you have a wonderful Christmas Day and may your hearts be filled in REJOICING! 

 Love, Rick and Pat

Merry Christmas-Photos of Israel Trip

Here is a very short video of The Sea of Galilee and another
video of a model of Jerusalem at the time of Christ.

Also there is a long PowerPoint presentation, choose which parts you want to view when it says to click here. When you click it will take you to something (YouTube video, etc.) other than my trip.  Download the PDF and enjoy!!  When you come to the video in the PDF you won't be able to see the movie, 

but you will have already seen them here.

Also, please don't modify the PDF...I couldn't share it in a locked format.

Rick in Paris, France

On our trip to Israel/Egypt we had a 4 hour layover in Paris. We took a quick trip to see the Eiffel Tower and a short walk. We each had a crepe and found a small chapel to take a quick photo...then back to the bus and on to Tel Aviv, Israel. Doesn't he look cute in his shorts?

Paul the Dragon

I have my grandson, Paul, for 2 days. We went to DI and he fell in love with this costume.

I bought it and we went on a dragon hunt. FUN!

11th set of six quilts

I've made a few quilts that I didn't get photos of.

 I'm trying to trying to keep a record for myself.  Thus this new post.
