I lunched with friends today. It is so nice to be able to sit and talk. We are all so crazy busy and we don’t get the opportunity to leisurely enjoy one another’s company very often. Just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate having such great friends around me. You’re the best…

Mmmm…
We love cookies! Cookies are one of our favorite treats. They are wonderful on so many levels…there is nothing like a chewy, warm-from-the-oven morsel followed with a big drink of ice-cold milk.

General Conference
I love a good project to work on during general conference. Somehow having something to do with my hands helps me to listen better (mostly because I fall asleep otherwise). Here are a few things we worked on. I finished sewing the binding on Morgan’s quilt (you can see the finished product here). I also [...]
