April 2025 Randoms

 My friend Laurie made these adorable (and delicious!) cookies for our book group meeting.



At the temple bright and early for one of my ordinance worker shifts. This is a great place to start and spend half a day.

In the evening on a different day when I was there with David.

Find me! (It's like the Brady Bunch 😆)

I look better in this picture

Sam's seminary class at sunrise a few days before Easter at a field near our house. Sam is third from the left.

This is a funny picture from John that I think I forgot to add to his mission pictures post, but I will do so once I'm finished with this post. Missionaries face a lot of this kind of attitude! Someday, they'll realize what they were missing.

A sweet picture on my laptop screen

A pretty napkin at the library. I used to collect napkins when I was younger! This one definitely would have gone in the collection box.

Hayley sent me this sweet picture of Bentwood that had come up on her phone.

I miss him. And I miss Violet, I miss Romeo, Olive, Boo Boo, Brody, Yogi, and Christy. I miss all of my beloved pets, and I miss having pets.

I went for a walk in the woods on one of my favorite trails, and when I got back to the car, one of my favorite symphonies was playing (Beethoven's Ninth). Perfect!

Maybe I should try these. 😆
My hair has aged poorly and I'm sure it's due to genetics, so I'm not sure how much these would help, but if I didn't have my "extra hair," I think I'd be very likely to invest in one of these and give it a try. The helmet is especially funny. 😄 Which is fine as long as it's effective! 

Before I got my extra hair, I had looked into doing this. But I heard it was painful and the process was a little icky and I'm not even sure it would work, so I decided not to.

From Laurie's Relief Society lesson. She did this cute visual on the board that looked like a quilt. 

A note David left in my planner when he made a nice candlelit al fresco dinner for us one evening, for when I got home from working at the library. It was so sweet (and tasty!).

Wisdom, Humor, and Inspiration in April 2025

There was a lot of humor and inspiration to be had in April!

😅

Here are some of the gems from President Nelson's wonderful Conference talk about charity and virtue, Confidence in the Presence of God:


This is an amazing and empowering way to live a truly fulfilled and fulfilling life.


This is something I'm always trying to get better at...





General Conference humor 😆

This will never happen, but it would be awesome if it did!

"You will not go very far in your life" 😂




Princess Bride humor 

Be genuine...

...and unflappable.

And try not to be a control freak.

Cray-Cray Times Scrapbook, April 2025

 I made a typo when I was writing the title of this post, and decided to go with it. I remember when saying "cray" for "crazy" was a thing, and now it's a thing again! At least it is in this tiny little sphere of the internet. Speaking of tiny, check out this super-short post!


Newsflash: Eliminating government waste is a good thing when it's eliminating things that are pointless and ridiculous.

Ignore the typos. The point he's making is a good one.

Around the House in April

Saturday General Conference with Sam


A cool image of something very special that I believe really did happen.

My pretty framed owl art from David's sister in Alaska

Owl and bee art plus Easter decorations on the buffet

A charming scene streamed from YouTube. More often than not, I have one of these going in the background.

I like how the afternoon light streams in through the front hallway windows and curtains.

I was watching Ghosts. That show is funny!

Another charming scene to behold 😍
