Any time we go to a baby or bridal shower, give birthday presents, or even Christmas gifts most people have come to know which gift is ours just because of our signature gift wrapping. Brown paper packages tied up with string. Here’s an example of some I sent as part of a Twelve Days of […]
Because You Asked
Little Ganache is doing so much better! At his four week checkup he weighed 7 lbs 10 oz – one ounce more than his birth weight. Look he even has a tiny double chin! Considering what his little body has gone through that is terrific news! No more saggy, wrinkly skin. Just very kissable cheeks, […]

The new history about Relief Society is DONE!!! Can I get a big HOORAY!!!!

The Harvest
Golden heads swing in the breeze against the backdrop of a cloudless blue sky. Each stalk the product of a tiny seed placed in well-prepared soil. A seed can multiply itself thirty, sixty, or even a hundredfold. Such is God’s law. Contemplate, then, as one of His spirit children your potential as part of the […]
A little teaser . . .

The cause of the fire
A number of you guessed correctly the cause of the fire had to do with the smoke stack (or exhaust pipe) of the truck. The stack was too short causing the exhaust to blow right into the hay bales behind it. Stray pieces of hay may also have blown down the stack while the truck […]
FIRE!
Here’s the excitement in our neck of the desert today. The view coming down the east side of the mountain. Calming the fire before the rest of the hay is consumed. See the different colored smoke from the various items on fire? The truck is completely burned to a puddle because of all the fuel […]
National Book Lover’s Day!!
In honor of National Book Lover’s Day today, here’s a recap of my favorite children’s book, Just David by Eleanor H. Porter. It is a delightful, innocent type of book written by the same author of Pollyanna. David, a ten-year-old orphan boy, is simply and purely good. His sweet innocence but wise observations of life […]
We are family
We are slowly getting back into the swing of things around here. Friday we went to Fallon for a family gathering with Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s parents and siblings. Aren’t they a good looking crew? We got a kick out of his dad’s tie straight from the ’70s! Hang on to things long enough and they […]
