A new car for Jackie

Jackie's car is on it's last leg--or so she tells me. So I asked Miguel to see what he could find. He's got a couple of possibilities that he's going to fix up. I'll send a picture later. But in the midst of it mom said that I was looking at a car that needed some paint on the hood of the car. Jackie interpreted that to mean something else and asked me, "Dad, you're not going to get me a car that has a hood that is a different color are you?" Here's a picture of what she was picturing in her mind. "No, Jackie, I'll try to do better than that."

fun with the grandkids

I guess this event gets double billing because Naomi also "reported" it on her blog.
Mom & I went to Yakima on a day it snowed and I built a snowman with the girls. We couldn't find any rocks for the eyes so I went in the house to see what I could find and improvised--smashed pop cans. And I think I've invented a new way to do snowman eyes. I'll probably use pop cans from now on.

Nice day in the temple

We challenged the temple recommend holders in our ward to be in the temple this past Thursday--to attend whatever session they could. We ended up having 4th warders in every session at the temple. We had 51 attend during the day. We did 57 temple "units" (endowment or sealing session); some did more than one session. We were pretty excited how it turned out. I think we have about 100 temple recommend holders, so we didn't get everyone, but we had more members of the ward there in one day than we ever have before, that I've known about. I was grateful.
