Bed Time Story

Once upon a time there was a father of three beautiful children.  He had a daughter and two sons and every night after the family had read scriptures and closed the day in prayer they retired to their rooms.  The boys loved to have their father read them a story.  So the father would read to the boys and the father was so tired that he would fall asleep while reading.  My goodness.  Sleeping again.

Da Bear

It was pack meeting.  Jack got to lead the flag cermony. He did a great job.  He also earned his bear tonight.  Way to go!

Saying Hi

I had to make a run to the store today for some salad bar supplies.  I decided to drop off a special treat to a friend for a late birthday gift.  Hope she enjoyed it.  Not sure how it was received but that's no big deal.  Just trying to do something nice, saying hi.  In the store I saw a customer and gave her a quick hello and her face lit up.  That was fun.  I also saw a gentleman that I had met at singles conference.  I went and visited with him for a few.  Nice guy, here on work.  I was able to stroll through the dining area and visit with some of our regular customers.  Always fun to say hi and to visit when we can.

Joyful Heart

It was the wee hours of the morning before I retired to bed last night.  I was standing at the dryer folding clothes while emptying it.  I had another load to go in and needed to get it done and off to bed.  I pulled one of Andy's shirts out and began to fold it.  As I looked at it my heart was filled with joy and love for this boy and also for each of my children.   I am humbled and grateful to be a father to these precious children.  I felt much joy as I folded that laundry and thought about my beautiful children. 

Year Two

We had the privilege of catering the Southern Utah Autism Conference today.  This was year two for us.  I think it went quite well.  I am fairly certain they loved the food and we do our best to make it easy for those in charge of it.  The less they have to worry about the food the better.  Anyway, hoping for year three twelve months from now. 

Last year I was able to attend much of the conference and found it very informative.  This year I was not able to go to the classes.   Too much going on.  Once we finished there I ended up back at the Brick House and worked the lunch rush and did prep work for a number hours.  My dogs are barking.  Long day.  I was so happy to get home and see the kiddos.   Sure do love them.

Fry Guy

Today I was the fry guy.  I am beat.  Fries are tiring.

Try

There has been more than one talk where President Monsoon has quoted
"If we do not try then we can not do and we we can not do then why are we here?,,. 

I try.
