Jamie's Birthday

Today Jamie turned 28 years old. I can still remember the day she was born. She was delivered by a woman doctor. The only one too. She looked like a little pa poos, she had olive skin, brown eyes, and dark hair. She, of all my children had the most hair. She was born to early in the morning, about 4:30am. She always has been a night person. Went to visit her yesterday and had lunch. Hope you have a happy birthday. I love you and I am glad you are my daughter and in our family. Love You so muchhhh! Don't know how to down load pictures sorry, or I would of put one up.

Painting a living room

The week before I went to see Kelli and her family. When I got there she was starting to paint her living room. Took her a few days, but with me there helped it go faster. Her living room looks great. Get her to post some pictures. She did a great job. I painted a couple of walls, made her do the hight spots. Had a great time. Even went to her ward trunk of treat party. It was something.
Kevin was out of town for work.

Standing on the corner watching the cars go by....

Today I help with the Prop. 8 activity. Several us stood on the sidewalk of a very busy street and waved signs. We were encouraging people to vote yes on Prop. 8. Many people honked their horns and gave us thumbs up signs. Some were not so nice. Told us to get a life, and said we were bigots. Heard a few choice words. In all it was not a bad experience. Would do it again in a heart beat. The weather was not the best in the world. We got rained on but only for a short time. The hard rain came later in the day. That I was thankful for.

Also went to a baptism for a boy I teach in Primary. To my surprise Helen and Susanne were in attendance. Had a nice chat with them.
