 Dirt cup desserts are a fun treat 😋


This is a funny picture that a girl drew for John on his mission, an ode to his love of Fortnite and his desire to find a girlfriend/wife who will enjoy watching him play it. Good luck with that, John! 😆

I was walking in my neighborhood one day and found a dog walking in the street with his leash trailing behind him. I was able to reunite him with his owner after some effort. He was a 1-year-old named Blizzard, and he was a sweetheart. I miss having a dog.


My dad sent me this picture of him and his brother, my Uncle Sterling. I haven't seen Sterling in person in over three decades.

I enrolled in an online paraprofessional program to heighten my library skills and credentials. I plan to start it this fall.

I was delighted to find this old-school list in a library book! This is from my high school days, and one of my high school classmate friends is on this list.

David made a big batch of popcorn for a movie night. 😋

He also made delicious waffles for breakfast on Mother's Day.



He had made homemade huckleberry sauce (the huckleberries were from Montana) to go with them. It was a delicious treat!


I stream scapes from YouTube almost every day. I love the views and the relaxing background noise they provide.

Roses, rain, gardens, books, candles? Yes, please! 😍😍😍

Hi!

I want to watch this, so I took a screenshot to remind myself. Moses is one of my favorite people from the scriptures.

A sweet blast from the past from our Iowa City days. Sometimes I really miss having little kids.

A car from Montana at the temple

Temple spire

Ivy-covered stone chimney at the library. If only it still had a matching fireplace; wouldn't that be cozy! 

Mood

Sam getting a haircut. I couldn't resist snapping a pic. He's still my lil' boy!

Last morning of seminary at my friend Sara's house. I'll miss it being at her house (which is just a short drive away) and her being a teacher.

Another blast from the way past, this one from 2010 at a Red Sox game. My mom looked so young! Sam did too. 😄

Things I'd bought for America's upcoming 250th: a commemorative Yankee Candle, a puzzle, and a set of U.S. trivia cards.

Some honey from the comb from David's hives.

I like the way my hair was waved and curled on the sides. Sometimes it comes out perfectly. Other times, not so much. Shoulder-length hair or just past the shoulders is my favorite length.

Another nice view, courtesy of YouTube 😍
