Spring is Sprung

Spring was Sprung and now it is summer already. Maybe not by the calendar but by the wind and temperature. We've already had some 90 degree temps. I love it.

I was sad but happy today as I called Ben in Utah to tell him how much I loved him and how much I will miss him. He went into the Mission Training Center today and will train to serve a mission in Puerto Rico for two years. The happy part is his willingness to serve the Lord and forget himself as he teaches others about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is a choice son of God. The church has been a blessing to us and our children and grandchildren. I am so glad Verl and I had prepared ourselves "while in our youth" to be able to feel the Spirit and recognize the plan of salvation for us and our families. I'm grateful for the peace that I feel and health that I have.

Long Winter

Why do the winter's seem longer & darker each year? Is it that the calendar has changed, the earth rotation is off, there are more clouds or is it just my own personal perception? Am I growing cataracts on the lenses my eyes, did I forget to take off my sunglasses or do I need to wash my windows? Probably none of the above. I think that I'm just not having fun anymore. maybe I'm just depressed from lack of sunlight or maybe I just need new & exciting experiences. Since I am in the last third of my life-line, I want to have more fun. Maybe I'll go to Fla to visit my cousin, Jacque, next winter, and then on to Ariz to visit my nieces, Stephanie and Julie. Then to California to visit my aunt Bette and cousin Debbie. That should keep me warm most of the winter and provide new and exciting experiences. Ummmm! What about my husband? Well, he doesn't mind cold, dark weather.
