My prime project for spring break was to work on the
2013 family photo book. I had hoped to
finish it but, unfortunately, I did not. Spending about four hours each day, and with
the help of the Hans Zimmer Pandora station, I am about 95% done, though. All the pictures are in and organized. I just need to add captions. If I had spent ALL my time on the book, I might
have finished but I also would have been crazy.
It was still important to take naps, walk with the dogs, practice my
bass (for an upcoming concert), keep the house clean, and teach a couple of
lessons, watch Once Upon A Time and
do other regular things.

We had some severe weather come through on Thursday. Some people got hail and a tornado (sirens went off in Columbia) but all we got was a rainbow!
Steve and I spent all day Tuesday in St. Louis at the temple
and at the Southerlands. We had hoped to
catch the 9:00 endowment session at the temple but Sadie thwarted that
attempt. Steve and I are now totally
converted to NOT giving her any people food of any kind. She was hit with a double whammy of pork
leftovers on Saturday and turkey leftovers on Sunday and by Monday night, she
had terrible diarrhea! Up every two
hours to go potty throughout the night.
Ugh. It has taken her all week
and special food and pills and couches covered with sheets and several bottom baths
but I think she is back to normal now.
Anyway, back to St. Louis. Vicki was finishing up a two-week visit with
Emily and Joe and family and it was great to see her and spend the afternoon
with her.
She left for Utah Tuesday and
returns to Korea tomorrow, I think. BUT,
the great news is that Joe has a new job in the Washington D.C. area and they
will be moving in May.

Steve and I also went to the Kansas City temple
yesterday. On our way home, we stopped
off at Culvers (buy one sundae, get one free), Russell Stovers (duh!), and a
cute little antique/vintage shop in Boonville owned by Glenna and Jim Johnson
(band director of Steven & Beckie).
We also went through Rocheport and stopped by the mandolin shop operated
by a fellow who plays violin the in the RTO.
The sun was shining and temperatures were nice and we had a great
day. It was topped off by the Women’s
Conference broadcast, Steve’s haircut, and me staying up too late to watch age 21
in the UP series. This is my current set
of Netflix DVD’s. Back in 1964, a fellow
in England started a long-term documentary project by focusing on 14 seven-year-olds from different backgrounds in various parts of England. He has revisited them every seven years and up to the present day. It has
been extremely fascinating to watch these boys and girls, rich and poor,
gregarious and shy as they have grown up.
The week before spring break: let’s see…….Rock Bridge had their
Pre-Districts concert Thursday night.
Steve and I drove to Jefferson City to attend a J. Reuben Clark Law
Society social Friday night. I attended
a neighborhood tea on Saturday to get acquainted with new neighbors and to plan
a neighborhood picnic later this spring.
It was great to connect with old friends and meet new ones. We have planted broccoli and raspberries in
the garden. I have three blueberry
plants on my kitchen counter waiting for the threat of frost to pass before
they go in the ground. Oh my, it has been a chilly
spring so far. Spring break week started
out with snow flurries (nothing stuck to the ground, though)! The only daffodils I have blooming are my teeny
ones. Here they are with my lamb
salt/pepper shakers on a pretty ceramic trivet I received from my friend Terri
Anderson this week when we had lunch at Wendy’s.
Happy spring, everyone!
