My sister and I wanted to give mom some TLC on her wedding day. She was pretty much run down after having walking pneumonia, planning the wedding and tying up all the loose ends. We were her makeup artist, hair dresser, and nail technician. She looked so pretty and we had some good laughs. There were 70 friends and family, some who traveled from Wyoming, Oregon and Washington. The Red Flame catered a wonderful dinner of Lasagna, corn, 5 different salads , rolls, drink and brownies. Pictures and visiting went til 9:00 p.m. It was exciting for me to see mom so happy and visit with all of Henry's family and friends. Afterwards some of us went over to mom's where some of Henry's family were staying and played a game of Zilch. We had a blast. Henry fits well into our family and we all love him. We love them both so much that we short sheeted their beds (both queen size). Henry took no time in calling us at the house asking "Who Short Sheeted The Bed?" When their alram went off at 5:00 a.m. no one seemed to know anything about it. We love you guys. Have a great life together. Travel lots and mom, don't get too home sick.
You will have significant experiences. I hope you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley
Grandma's Covers
When you were small.....and just a touch away,
I covered you with blankets against the cool night air.
But now that you are tall.....and have moved far away,
I fold my hands and cover you with my goodnight prayer.
