Funeral Florals

On Friday, April 10, 2026, Keith and I drove to Syracuse to pick-up our funeral florals from Eva's funeral.  We had some beautiful arrangements made by Tiffany from Suspended in Time.  We have been ordering from Tiffany since 2002.  They did not disappoint.  

Afterwards, we drove past my old childhood home in Clearfield.  I was sad to see how the neighborhood had declined-so run down.  The folks that bought my house tore out the steps leading up to the house.  The two large Sycamore Trees that I used to love to climb had been taken out.  The neighborhood looked so run down.  It used to be so nice.

 

Lunch with Michele Standage and Westfield High School Prom Photos

On Saturday, I met Michele Standage in Brigham City at the Old Grist Mill.  We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and we enjoyed catching up on each other's lives.  We stayed for almost two hours, then decided we had better head home.  I can't believe Michele has a daughter at BYUi.  Shelby took her first steps at our house around our ottoman.  So fun!  I reached out to Michele last week after seeing Shelby singing in the BYUi choir at Conference.  

Later that afternoon, Chersti and James, along with Xander, his date, and 6 other friends came to take Prom pictures in our yard.  Such a cute group of kids.  We had fun listening to them and seeing them interact with each other.  I am so grateful that the weather cleared up for them - it snowed/rained most of the afternoon, but around 4:00, the sun started shining and it cleared up.  I hope they had a blast at the Prom.  As a thank you for using our yard, Chersti brought me beautiful flowers.

Free Frosty and Free Fries!!!

On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, we stopped at Wendy's in North Ogden for a free frosty and fries.  Wendy's was giving them away as a celebration of the NCAA Basketball Championships.  I sent the information to friends, family, and put it on Facebook.  I had several people reach out and say thank you for the great dinner idea!!!  I was tickled when Alexa and Xander sent me a picture of them with their Wendy's.

Easter 2026

On Friday Night, Chase, Calder, Maycie, and Mikela came up to visit.  I took a picture of Calder and Maycie by the waterfall.  Rebel had to be in the picture!  I spent all day Saturday preparing food for our meal on Sunday.  It was yummy.  We had ham, cheesy potatoes, orange jello fluff, rolls, deviled eggs and cake.

Jamie sent pictures of their Easter as well.  Keith and I enjoyed watching conference.  It was a nice, low-key day.

April Fool's Joke - Snow!!!

I took a picture of my beautiful purple and white tulips coming up a few days ago.  On April 2, 2026, around 11:00 a.m., we got a snowstorm that didn't last too long, but it snowed on my tulips.  I hope they are going to survive and not freeze.

Easter At the Cemetery

I was so blown away when I went to the cemetery a few weeks ago and found that Skyler's and Mom's flowers were gone.  They were fairly new and in good shape.  I couldn't imagine the cemetery workers throwing them out.  I had them in the vases really tight, so the wind didn't blow them out.  They were physically removed.

After contacting the cemetery, I was told that it must have been thieves.  I bought new flowers yesterday and Keith and I went to the cemetery to decorate.  It looked beautiful.
