Familiar Faces

            About a year and a half ago, I was on facebook checking out their statistics, though I generally don't put a lot of stock in what results are given.     According to facebook, my husband Roland and I are the most opposite of me and any of my facebook friends.   I can believe that.   According to facebook, my soul mate is Carolyn - who I had known less than a year.   I've now known her for almost two.   The more time I take to get to know her, the more it feels like we have in common.   I guess facebook was right.             Not only that, but every time I added a family photo, facebook will automaticlly tag the pictures and actually get most of them right.   But every time my mom is in the photo, facebook puts Carolyn's name on the photo instead of my mom's. I guess there is a resemblance.   I do see more betwee...

            As with everything, there are always pros and cons to having a cell phone, internet service, cloud storage, etc.   I must be old fashioned in my way of thinking.   I would like my phone to act as a phone and my watch to tell time . . . although the watch has nearly become a thing of the past for me as I refer to my cell phone for the time and since I don't wear my cell phone around my wrist, it hasn't bothered me the way a watch often does.   It's a nice feature - though not necessary.   It is convenient.               My first cell phone was through Voice Stream.   My mom and I had both purchased a phone plan that came with this Nokita - a phone my mom refused to give up until after she got dementia.             I had mine for over ten years and may have had it l...

I LOVE the way the sun glistens through raindrops right after it rains.   I have tried several times to get pictures of what I see with my naked eyes - but it isn't always what the camera lens captures. Just before the first meeting started for Church yesterday, I looked out the window and saw many drops hanging from a tree and though the branches are brown, they seemed a brilliant white as though frosted in snow.   The sun glistened over the tree and through the drops resembling so many interpretations of Lehi's tree.   I tried to photoshop something similar to what I saw.   I failed. I attended a Sunday School class and the instructor talked about his love for waterfalls.   They really are awesome.   Most all forms of water are:

Back to School . . . perhaps

                Jenna is supposed to return to school this morning.   Thus far the buses have been delayed for two hours because of the frozen roads.   Last time I got the same message (over a year ago) school ended up being canceled altogether.   It's hard being off for two weeks and try to go back to a routine - at least for me.   Roland didn't seem to have a problem with it, and Jenna has been ready to return to school since before her vacation was over.   She was dressed and ready to leave the house since 5:30 this morning.                 I checked on my class just once yesterday.   I decided to save the lectures and posting for today.   I planned to do so just after she left the house, which she hasn't done yet and may not depending on the conditions on the road.   I'm afraid she may f...
