Elder Hales

I have my first CASA case (court appointed special advocate) I work with a child who is in foster care in an advocacy role. This quote makes even more sense to me now.

Contrary to the world's secular teaching, the scriptures teach us that we do have agency, and our righteous exercize of agency ALWAYS makes a difference in the opportunities we have and our ability to act upon them and progress eternally.

A Good Month

So we left for Utah to see Mel's show visit the family and attend Derek's wedding, it was fabulous. Patience with Grandma and her need to try to take professional looking photos, this was purely to set up a group shot but the kids are cute.

Uncle David and Aunt Sherrie have a huge willow tree in their front yard. The kids love it, we hope the tree survives their play.

Grandpa's truck is always popular.

More Snow Pictures

I have had trouble loading pictures the last couple of days so these finally loaded but only one at a time. Minnie followed us down to the pond meowing the whole time.

I thought this was a beautiful piece of frost on the water.

I loved this one also.

These were just fun, I wish I had the talent to have the camera record what I see. But I will keep trying.

Dad took this one, I think it is wonderful.

We will rename Minnie Peter as Dad called her out to "walk on the water".

God Is In the Details

Dad and I went out yesterday with the camera to see if we could find Grouse Creek Falls in the winter. We needed Mel. I think the road was closed with snow but the turn-off could have been hidden by berms, so today we traveled a little closer to home and went down to the creek. Rosie gave me permission to take as many pictures as I want but I still get nervous with the camera. I seem to forget everything I have read and studied but I do remember I can take as many pictures as I want. Dad likes the bigger picture but we found some beautiful images in the details.

This is the reason we went down because of these ice shelves cantilevered over the water. Dad took this photo.

Humph!

Occassionally I will check out what looks to be a promising cookbook from the library. Yesterday was the day to try a couple of recipes that looked good. Last night was a new macaroni and cheese. I ate Trix for supper and dad had a fried egg. This was really nasty macaroni and cheese. Mel's recipe is still our favorite. I also made a cheese bread that looked devine. I liked it fine but dad thought it was too cheesey, so I thought I would try it in french toast this morning. Dad had corn Chex for breakfast. I ate most of mine. As dad said, the food pictures looked great, but this is not a cookbook for us.
