The sweet smells of Utah in April...

Finally a visit to the Payson Temple!

Terry drove to Salt Lake to pick me up and be my escort

for the day. True friend since she had a cold!

I love this little town... two of

our girls (Amber and Audrey) were born here :)

A favorite time of year!

General Conference...

The weather was beautiful (Donna & Andrea)

Temple Square... trees in bloom

enjoying the Provo City Center Temple!

Pioneer theme...

Family Time is the best...

As a disclaimer- we did spend time with

Ashley & Av too. Got a picture with Ash but

her eyes were closed and I wanted to get

another one :(

Thanks for the gifts....

Next we go out to Nauvoo (dropping off my folks)

and then on to Utah again for Andrea's graduation!

Stay tuned...

A New Year....2016

 Since our dear friend Bonny Lee moved to Gainesville-

my mom and I decided it was time for a visit!

After a 'LOVELY' time talking we had lunch in the

dining room with a view of the large oak trees!

Bonny- we can't wait till our next get together and

want you to know you are always in our hearts!

On the way home from Gainesville my

mom and I stopped at an Amish restaurant

for dinner and found this sign in their gift

shop. It is 'OH SO APPROPIATE' for our

kitchen. This was the morning of my

Birthday Breakfast...

Cards, drawings and gifts to look at!

The next morning (St. Patty's Day)

my neighbor David stopped by

with my Birthday flowers and candy.

So proud of himself and of course

SO CUTE....

Last but not least.... is the annual Antique Car show

my Dad and I attend in Naples.  We both love old cars and would

really like to own one someday. Aww... gotta dream!

Easter is almost here and my thoughts

turn to family and renewal. Hope this

finds you happy and at peace!

FAMILY TIME IS THE BEST...

The month of December 2015 brought a visit

It was fun to spend the week going

to the library, swim lessons and

the Natural History museum. Plus

fun walks in the woods...
