Let's Have a Look-See

I had friends over for lunch yesterday. I did not get a picture of them, but I made soup and French bread.  I had to take them downstairs to see my new iron. They all had to take a turn at it. It's pretty fun. Then I showed them the quilt my grandma made an saw this,  Which rocked my world.  Because I sign mine like this. I mean, How thin was veil on the day I decided to do this? My temple story is short. We did initories. I took a moment to sit in the Celestial room afterwards. It's my favorite time because there is not anyone in there and it is sooooo quiet.  I've had a hard couple of weeks of work.  The teacher across the hall has been upset with everything I do. I get it. She is extremely unhappy with her life and it must be my fault. The language from the staff at school has been horrible lately. I'm not going to miss it.  But as I was sitting there, with the peace of God surrounding me, I fel...

 Someone  recently asked me if I had a journal . I do not, but I think I have expressed that this outlet lets me express my feelings and experiences. I always say that I don't care who reads it, and I really don't, but I don't advertise it.  As I expressed last week, there is a lot of stuff going on in this country that is downright scary. To combat that feeling, I would like to share somethings I'm grateful for this week.  Callie and Spencer's need to get out of the house and bring me a little bit of heaven. My sewing machine. It's a blessing. My Valentine. The sweet read aloud books I get to read at school. Valentine gifts from little people.  The acceptance of my resignation  February 3, 2025 Dear Mr. Tim and the Wendell School Board, I hope you will accept my letter of resignation. Due to the time constrictions of this job, I do not have time to make bread and quilts, so...

We have been friends for a long long time. We have a lot in common. Anne, J'lene and I have 18 sons between us. We have all been married for at least 40 years and trust me when I say, It's been a wild ride. We all meet in church, through serving with each other.  A couple of years ago, J'lene and Bob moved to Texas. Bob, who is a doctor that believes that all illnesses can be cured by intermittent fasting, has burned through a few jobs, moving four times since they left. But he has a job in rural Texas that has benefits. This is such a tender mercy as well as a testimony that God has a hand in this.    J'lene has great cancer and the 2 1/2 hour drive for treatments was too much for her, so she is living with her son and family, in Saratoga Springs Utah and receiving treatment from Huntsman Center. She has a support system here and is surrounded by family. She's been there since the end of November. We have been trying to plan this trip ever since. It has to be betwe...
