Memories

I got this from my cute niece Katy. I love how creative she is and when I grow up I want to be just like her.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Time

Well, it's finally here! Within moments (okay a couple of hours) we'll be piling into the car, destination Disney. When we get back, I'll have lots of stories and pictures to share. Until then; take care, be good, and remember we love you :-)

2 Weeks and Counting!

Just 2 weeks from now, Bruce and Lorraine and Chelley and David will be on their adventure! We've been shopping, planning, and getting just a little excited and impatient. 14 days from right now we'll be at Disney. Woo Hoo!

While we're waiting.... Chelley and David are both working their legs off. David has progressed to 4 to 5 shifts at the movie theater and getting in good with the manager :-) . Chelley has been working 6 days per week because even tho the salon where she works is understaffed, they are still expected to help the other understaffed salons in the chain. She doesn't love that policy. Oh well.

Bruce had his annual trip to Lockport, NY for the company golf outing. Hot and humid as usual. I have started a new quilt project. I learned a little about it in a Relief Society "special interest group". We met for just over a year and made some little wall hangings and then 2 real quilts. This is my first without an instructor helping so I picked a simple pattern. I enjoy choosing the different colors and patterns. This one has 22 different fabrics. I'll post a picture when I get the top assembled. Right now I have 7 strips of blocks completed. Aren't I talented? I bake and sew, but I don't run.

What Am I Doing? (again)

Well, Bruce's family blogs and my family facebooks so now I have access to both. Ha ha! I'm figuring out blogging, but I can't really do anything with the facebook yet. Chelley has been handling it for me and I just read what comes. Oh well. :-) I do like scrabble and cocoa.

My Week

Tiffany complained that I don't update often enough. I'll try to do better, but no promises. BTW this is Lorraine again.

You already know we were in Florida this month. We've been thinking and speaking of my long-time friend Cheri who lives in the Orlando area with her husband, 5 kids, and menagerie. Cheri and I have been good friends since 1973. Yes we're old. We met the first day of 9th grade and have been friends ever since, even though years often pass between visits. My most recent visit with Cheri was last summer when she came here to bring her 2nd son to the M.T.C. Anyhow, Cheri called me on Tuesday because she had been thinking of me :-). Her oldest son was in Utah last week. We had a very fun conversation for an hour and 10 minutes. TGI unlimited cell phone time!

Today, I had lunch with another friend I hadn't visited with for 2 years. We met at a restaurant and talked long after we were done with our meals. We outlasted the "lunch" crowd and were the only ones there (that don't work there) by the time we separated. We talked about kids, church, books, work.....
How thankful I am for people who care about me, and enjoy things I enjoy, and are interesting and interested. I have all of that with my sweetheart of course, but I'm definitely a girly girl and need friend connections as well.
