where?

in retrospect.... there are several things one oughta consider when trusting others.... will they treat you with the same respect and honor that you attribute to them? will they love you like a friend? will they acknowledge you in every setting? will they go out of their way to be conscientious of you and your concerns? will they let you speak about yourself and really listen? will they be a shoulder to cry on when needed? to many times in life these kind of people are rarely found. I have found that most people are self absorbed and only want to talk about themselves. and if you bring up any subject htat is YOU orienttated... thay simply have no time to listen.... where have the good old days gone when there were good lod friends?

my daughter's concert was canceled the other night due to a power failure. what a relief. we had a cool hair style planned that is not possible without power.

mirror

so looking closely at my son's graduation photo I noticed his smile is just like my dad's. mentioned it to my mom who was skeptical until we took a photo of my dad when he was 20 (my son is 18) and compared. the smile the nose and the chin are my dad's. coincidental, this particular son is named after my dad. both names!

I'm going to learn how to paint. I think. If I have the time. I'm going to school and working and keeping up with kids. not any free time. maybe my mom can teach me to oilpaint some saturday. Robert thinks I should just watch that guy on tv.

knap time!

robert is bored of carving. he is now knapping. that is when you take obsidian and chip peices off tomake arrowheads and spears. he has joined a club that meets thursdays in lewiville. we planted part of our garden saturday. cross our fingers. Robert loves the outdoors and does much out there.

right now Christapher is the assistant branch clerk as well as a branch missionary. he goes to institute each week and FHE..he also attends service projects. he is very busy. . he is our comical clown. he loves playing pranks and having a good time. he takes care of me well. he loves hiding in the dark to scare people. he gets that from me. he also has a very spiritual side to him that some don't see. his testimony is special.
