Birthday

It is a beautiful day in my neighborhood. Junk next door and junk on the floor. Hey more dogs than I want to count. (we are babysitting 5 noisy chihuahua's and it stinks) But hey, someday it will be over. Right?? It could be worse. But I had a nice birthday and now I am 51. Wow that is old. Thanks for all the phone calls and thanks for the gift Joe and Angie and Ellen. Fred did take me out to dinner which was nice. Thanks Fred!

I cannot begin to tell you what conference has done for me. Hope in Christ is there again.
I almost felt as though the whole conference was just for me. But I know that is how millions of people around the world felt. I wish that Jessica could somehow catch the vision of the gospel again. I hope and pray she may someday come back to it.

It is funny how each of us seem to have a special connection with each of our siblings, and other family members. Thanks for being there and loving me as I am with my many talents, and my many failings. I want to start as a new beginning again to go forward with faith in Christ, feasting on his words. Thank you boys for your strength and courage to go on a mission. It has made you each someone I can learn from, lean on and admire as I learn more from you all. Mama
