If you ever clicked on the “LDS Activity Days” tab, you might notice that it has disappeared. That’s because I decided to give that information it’s own page (on the suggestion of my sister-in-law, Sarah – thanks!). You can find all my Activity Days info at Go and Do! Tell your friends!

I’ve been trying to post more regularly in the hopes that the few readers out there will keep checking back – but what to say when nothing has really been happening?? Tom has solved that issue by blogging only about current events and things that he finds absurd. Suffice it to say, I’m not as clever. Things I have enjoyed this summer: - the fairly regular clouding up and even raining in the late afternoon. Everything is still pretty green, and the grasses have been amazingly beautiful this year (or at least it seems to me). I even went and tried to take pictures – but I missed many of the varieties at their peak. Watching all the various kinds of seed heads, swaying in waves of movement – beautiful! I did go out and cut some grasses and cattails and now have a very nice dried grasses arrangement in a couple...
In case you look at them, I’ve finally updated my book review pages for 2009. I’ve done a lot of re-reading of favorite authors the past six months, so if you are looking for some good authors to read, some of mine are on these lists. Also, added another picture album. Read More →
Tuesday morning Tom called me at work to say that his contract had ended (at least for now) and what did I think about going out to Utah for the 4th of July holiday? I wasn’t happy to get this call – I wanted this contract to last longer and I didn’t think I wanted to make such a short trip (the kids started school the next Tuesday). I said “no” and we hung up. But I got to thinking and called Tom back and told him if he really wanted to go, then we should go. Then, instead of just working a couple of hours, I worked the rest of the day to try and get things squared away for the week. My kids weren’t all that happy to have to hang around the office so long, but I kept telling them that it was so we could go out of town, which helped. Once we got home, I put them to work packing their stuff while...
A couple of weeks ago the Mormon Tabernacle Choir ended their tour with a final concert at Red Rocks here in Denver. Tom & I debated whether to go or not and finally decided we should go and see his sister sing, since it is her final tour with the choir. We bought a couple of extra tickets and invited a couple we know. Unfortunately they couldn’t join us, so we invited my brother, Travis, and his wife, Jen. It was a fun night. We ate chinese and drove out to Morrison where we joined the incredibly long and slow moving line of cars trying to get into the parking areas. Luckily Tom had insisted on leaving an hour and a half before the concert began, so we arrived before the concert began (unlike many others who wandered in 15-30 minutes late). One benefit of being a little early is that we were in our seats (row 9, at...
