So you may know that my mom and dad are moving.......AGAIN.

I came out this past Friday to help them.

Park City in August.

This was MaryLou and Dan's third visit to SLC;

but they have not had a chance to sightsee.

A good time was had by all.

April Snow brings May flowers

It snowed again last night,

but my tulips and panseys seem

to be doing ok.

Crazy weather out here,

I cut the grass on Monday;

temp in the high 50's.

Aprons to Auction off

Our ward is having a Service Auction Saturday night

for the Boy Scout Troop.

I made these 2 aprons to auction off.

Spjute kids with Easter Candy

We had dinner with Becca, Troy and the kids

the night before Easter.

Here are the kids enjoying the Easter Candy we

bought for them.

Special Sermon

I work at the Church Office Building, doing catering. This past week we were very busy with luncheons for the General Conference this weekend.

So on Thursday and Friday we served 350 members of our Church's General Authorities, including President Monson and his counsellors.

President Monson is a very friendly man, who

loves to talk with people.

His table was the last to leave the luncheon both days.

Friday there was about 5 of us "lunch ladies" left in

the ball room cleaning up when President Monson was leaving.

I was over by his table and asked him if he remembered

Paul's father Vernon Hemingway. (They were in the same

church ward way back when).

He was so friendly and said that he remembers a Counselor of his,

Eugene Hemingway. He then went on to talk to us for about 15-20 minutes.

He bore his testimony that God does live, and gave us a few

examples. He had been a bishop at age of 23, having 84 widows in his Ward.

He always visited them, even after being released as Bishop.

He was able to speak at ALL of these sisters funerals. Even as he

traveled for the Church weeks at a time.

What a special sermon we were able to

enjoy.

I am so grateful to be able to

"rub shoulders" with so many of the

leaders of our Church, by being a

caterer.

General Conference was very inspirational for me

once again.

Day our with Grandpop

Today while I was at work
Paul took Micah, Caleb and Jewelia
for sight seeing tour.
He wanted to take them to Kennecott;
but curses, too much snow, no visitors.
So on to Plan B.
