Getting "OLD"er


Well it's my birthday today, can you believe it, 49 whew! Where did life go? I wanted to post a pic of myself but decided to post 2 pics of me and my sweet little grandkids Nathan and Eva. Boy, how time flys. They will both be here next month for visits, can't wait. Should be fun. I'm at work right now but when I get home I plan on finishing opening the pool today (attach filter, pump and hoses). After that I'll clean up and go out to dinner with shelli for my b-day.
Shelli ordered an (igolf Neo) GPS toy for me as a gift. It can hold up to 10 golf courses at a time and I can down load any course in the country into it. What it does is, it gives me the distance to the front, center and back of each green and some of the hazards on the golf courses from where ever I'm at on the course, cool!

New church calling

This past Sunday 5-10-08 I was released from the Y.M. Presidencey and called into the Primary. Can you believe it, me in Primary. Well they placed me in with Bro. Olson and the CTR something, 6 and 7 year olds. Now before this I was 2nd Counselor with the Deacon Quorum, 12 and 13 year olds, for 3 years. So being with the 6 and 7 year olds Sunday and the 12 and 13 year olds from before, I really couldn't tell a difference, ha ha. Those little ones were cracking me up all day. Like when Bro. Olson asked "who wants to give opening prayer" and Adam Bitner jumps up raising his hand and says" I don't" or when Andrew Belliston asked me if we were going to be chipmunks, could we be chipmunks today and I'm like, "What". That's just a couple of examples, oh I almost forgot Adam was sitting next to me playing with the veins that stick up on the back of my hand rubbing his finger across them and pulling on them. This is going to be a very interesting calling, oh, did I mention sharing time. Whew! We'll see how long it takes to loose my sanity. I have to admit it was fun.

It's Morel Mushroom Time


Well, it's that time of the year again where you can find in the fields, wood lots and sometimes even in the backyard, those tiny morsels, the morel mushrooms. I have my secret spots around home where I can find them. This is my first time out this season and I was able to find 58 mushrooms. They are considered a delicacy and have a nutty taste. None of my girls will eat them, they think they are gross. Michelle thinks they look like the alien pods from the movie "Aliens". They do have bugs in at times because they are hollow but I bath them in saltwater and the bugs come out. Once cleaned, sauteed in garlic butter and onions, mmm,mmm! The season usually last until the 1st or 2nd week in June, so plenty of time to find more!
