Mother's Day May 11, 2014

Happy Mothers Day to all Mothers everywhere, actually

all women everywhere, we are all mothers.

We woke up to WIND and SNOW.  At church today

a man told us a few years ago they had 11 inches of snow

on June 17th!  Please don't let that be us.  We 

want to reenact the handcart treks but that is

to realistic for me!

We came home from Church and enjoyed a dinner

together at the Depot.  All the Elders did the cooking for the

meal.  It was really good.  Sister Pratt thinks we should

do that every Sunday or at least once a month.

The best was watching them do the dishes.  We sisters

all left the Depot and headed back to our trailers so they could

work by themselves.  Mostly, we left because it was cold

and we all knew our trailers were warmer.

The pies we ate were given to us by a trek group that is coming

for trek this summer.  They rented six carts on Thursday to use for

a training on Saturday.  When they came on Thursday they brought us

three pies!  Wow, were we impressed.  On Saturday when they

returned the carts they brought three more pies. Right now

they are the favorite Stake.

On Saturday they also brought a flat of flowers for the Sisters

for Mother's Day.  We think they win the award for

demonstrating the principle of "How to win friends and

Influence Enemies"

Remember the Steers that moved in on Friday right next to us,

well Saturday morning they all left!  I guess they didn't like the 

neighborhood.  Actually, I found out, we were just a over

night pit stop.  They were going further and just stopped to 

feed them part of the way there.  I kinda felt bad to see them

leave.  I know, that sounds weird but there aren't a lot of 

people around here and you have to find new friends

where you can.

There would be our new wooden steps.  The Elders spent Saturday

building steps for each of the couples who don't already have them.

This might not look like much, but they are so much nicer

to walk on and lots more sturdy.

This is Jeff going up them first.  I would rotate the picture but

can't find the right place to do so.  The solution is for all of you

to rotate so you can see the picture right.  

Church was kinda sad today.  I was missing my Primary class today,

actually, I miss them every week.  But, today, they had their

primary sing three songs for Mother's day.  That made me

cry and then last night we went to dinner to a place called

Taggerts, it was really good.  The thing is there were lots of

families there celebrating Mother's day and so there were

lots of little kids running around and it made me really miss

my little kids!  I miss their busy bodies and great laughs,

their cute faces and especially their hugs.  We love you all lots 

and send you our hugs and kisses!
