So, this is how one 'Blogs'!

Today is our fifty-sixth wedding anniversery and I just got back from Panera's Bakery, where Grandpa took me out to lunch... it was delicious! Since I've been on a new eating plan for a couple of weeks, I decided that just for lunch I'd take a break and go out to eat.

I just can't believe how fast the years have gone by; but looking back at all the things we've done and places we've been, not to mention the rearing of eight wonderful children, I guess it does take that many years to accomplish! We often wonder how things would have changed if we had (or had not) made the choices that we did in our lives; or if our parents had made different choices, such as church, moving, etc., our lives would have been totally different as we probably would never have met. When we look at things in that light, choices truely do make a difference.

This week, in Fremont, has been pretty normal for us... attended church, had FHE on Monday, Tuesday: with Grandpa's help, vacuumed all the floors (which hadn't been done for a few weeks), changed the beds, cleaned the bathrooms and moped their floors, did the laundry, and then decided that that was enough! Today, Wednesday: did some DUP stuff, went to lunch, and wrote in my new Blog for the first time. I think I'll work on Lisa/Gavin's new baby blanket for an hour or so... Lisa is the next one due, and is expecting a baby boy the first week in March, with Trinity/Curtis not far behind them with their new baby girl... so I'd better get sewing!!

I'll try to do 'California updates ' each week, but don't hold your breath!
