What Wood You Make?

From the farm sheds we got some old wood.
Made some picture frames, planter & shelf so good.
We're reminded of old times like we could,
When we see them and remember as we should.



   Jory made these darling picture frames and bathroom shelf from wood he gleaned from the farm.

Busted at the Bounce House

Tearing the kids away from their phones is much.
See them having fun bouncing and such.
Video games has become quite a crutch,
It keeps them from real life & out of touch.

 It is sad to drive seven hundred miles to spend it watching the grand children play video games, watch You Tube and such on their phones.   It is just plain sad. 

We took them to the bounce house in Kennewick.  It was pricey, $12 per person and an additional $3 for socks for each one for one hour = $60.   To see the smiles on their faces and spend time in the car with them was priceless.    We stopped at Costco for a Polish dog, drink and ice cream.  At least there is still a meal in town we can afford.

Idaho Falls Temple Openhouse

We went to the Idaho Falls Temple open house.
With Henry, Breann & Jed, her spouse. 
Riding buses, to the temple.  Saw no grouse.
This little guy was as quiet as a mouse.

 To keep the traffic to a minimum at the temple grounds, ticket holders parked in nearby churches and road nice buses.   Henry loved how high up we were and looking out the window.

He was so wide eyed and quiet.   We even got a photo of the temple.   It was beautiful both inside and out.

Hayward Haircut

Look like Gordon.  It's the talk of the town.
Get your haircut like his, turn a smile from a frown.
All free if your locks are red, blonde, black or brown.
The barber gets paid by The Jazz, Dollars down.

 Here is Gordon Hayward with his awesome hair.  Clean cut and classy. 
 This young man came into my office with the Hayward haircut and let me take his picture.  Mom said it was okay.   He loves Gordon and follows him faithfully.  
Here's a guy at my office that also, got the Hayward haircut.  Before I even knew about the offer
I complimented him on how stylish he looked.   He was motivated by the free haircut offer, if you took a photo at the barbershop with the barber.   Impressed by how much time was spent on him, he will definitely go back.   Thank you, Utah Jazz for footing the bill, to help make Utah men look amazing.

Speak of the QZZR

I recently read this article in the Silicon Slopes magazine about QZZR, when Sarah mentioned her brother works there.   I recognized the name and told her I had read/heard good things about the company.  
Here's the photo of the article.   Then I Googled QZZR.   I found the company's website and enjoyed reading about each awesome employee, even Sarah's brother.   WOW.  I am tempted to try a quiz just to see how they work.   Maybe you should too.

Learning The Living Christ at Easter & Beyond

Our RS is memorizing 'The Living Christ' as a goal. 
It takes twelve weeks, 700+ words, like climbing a pole
Is very hard to do, but learning it touches our soul. 
Knowing Christ makes us feel, not half, but whole.


I decided to take the challenge.  Using a photo of each card to pack around, helps me work on it any time of the day.   At night I am able to use the words to comfort me and think of Jesus.  
 Weekly when I take the Sacrament and promise to always remember Him, learning this document will remind me of the great things He did everyday for all of us. 
 The fourth page talks about His arrest, trial, death and the Atonement.   We celebrate that great gift at this Easter time and all year long.  
 The sections are easy to confuse with one another.  The words are concise and specific.   It is doable with continuous work and prayers.   May we all be ready for Jesus, when he knocks on our door.

All Are Amazing & More

At BHS I saw this cool poster.
If a photo helps others feel their most 'er'
It's worth reading and to use as a coaster.
Helps all feel great and even a little boast 'er'!
 
 
 
Who wouldn't want these words kicking around their room, house and in their head.   It certainly could help one want to try harder, jump higher, not give up and try to change the world.   Here's hoping you will want to do it.
