Lavender Days at Young Living Farms

Well, today we did something other than mow lawns and pull weeds.  It felt good for a change.  We packed a picnic and headed for Mt. Pleasant to Evan's Antiques, a place we like to go.  The only problem with the visits is getting out of there without spending any money.  We found a few trinkets we can show you sometime.  Anyway, we broke out the picnic basket [cooler] and the blankets and put them on the grass in the park next to the store.  It was beautiful and cool in the shade.  Then we made a quick trip out to Mona - Young Living Farms and enjoyed the afternoon at Lavender Days and enjoyed some Lavender ice cream, herb class, and great gardens and smells.  It was a great time.

Denver Zoo

How long has it been since the Denver Trip. Almost a month now. We downloaded the pictures and this is one of my favorites. We had a great time at the zoo! Even though you can't see their faces, there's some excitement in the stride into the zoo that morning. I hope the trip carries fond memories for each of them, it sure does for us.

Just nothing to say?!

Perhaps if we wait long enough, we can post another picture of another batch of sticky buns.

As I removed the buns from the oven this morning, knowing they were for just Mom and I, it was comforting to know that each of you were doing the same thing this morning. A family tradition for conference morning and other special holidays during the year. They remind us of the sweetness of the family. The conference has been absolutely awesome. Both Mom and I hope it has been the same for you.

Here are my results from the speed typing test. This seems to be the best I can do. I'm going to keep trying though until I can beat it. A fun challenge.

Here's where we circled the wagons on the west side of West Mountain.  Well, I guess it wasn't a circle of wagons, we were down to only needing 2 wagons to get us to the picnic site. :-(

Standin' around and sittin' around were in order.  Some bundled up, eh Nana and Addie.  Plenty of sun [we went home with some decent sunburns] and some sniffles.  Regardless, it was a great day for a picnic.  It did warm up later in the afternoon.

The hard boiled eggs were prize worthy.  I particularly like the white colored ones.  Took a fair amount of effort to cover up the colors that the eggs come with naturally on Easter.

We did some shooting of the b-b and the pellet guns at pop cans and left over clay pigeons left behind by other shooters.  We tossed frisbees, threw footballs, built kites and had the egg hunt.

Not nearly enough people present for the festivities, but we did the best we could.  We missed those unable to attend.

Sunny Florida [most of the time]

It was a beautiful day in Florida today. I caught [captured] a picture of both the convention center from my room window and also a picture of the hotel from the convention center. All is well.

The event I'm attending had a conference get together at Universal City. Didn't see Universal Studios Theme Park but heard lots of loud music [too loud for me] and plenty of food. I'm glad to be back at the hotel. It was too much for me.
