Salutations!
A beautiful high school senior, daughter of our new bishop, spoke in sacrament meeting today…the first entire gathering of our ward which split and was formed during covid. I digress. She gratefully acknowledged that her parents are her support system. And actually said, “This cool cat, whom you guys call ‘bishop’, asked me to speak today." She badly injured her ankle in February, during the time Juliard was holding final auditions for dance submissions. Her dream was crushed. She spoke on unfairness. Quoted Elder Renlund’s conference talk, “Rather than becoming bitter, let [God] help you become better.” She heard his entire talk loud and clear, spoken directly to her.
Life IS unfair. Christ came to make everything fair. In His time, in His way. I know it will all be made fair.
Related note. Never, never throw stones. Be stonecatchers y’all.
1) Last evening we had a fondue dinner with our immediate neighbors.
2) there are already 14 homes that share our back driveway/alley.
3) soon there will be 8 more.
4) 22 residences make for quite a block party.
5) we met to share food, stories and say goodbye…though a temporary bah-bye.
6) Wednesday is the last night in this house.
7) Thursday we store the beds downstairs and move our clothes and my desk to Lincoln and Carrie’s. (Thanks guys)
8) Friday we have reserved for deep cleaning the house.
9) Then Friday night and Saturday we continue our DoorDashing routine.
10) Life rolls on.
Happening this week:
April 22nd ~ the perfect day to appreciate the life of Dillon and ponder what he’s doing, besides being missed.
April 25th ~ it’s Gerber’s wedding anniversary, a dozen eventful years.
We love you forever,

Hello fine youngsters,
While packing up our office/craft room I rediscovered this drawing of Belle.
[picture of the week]
1) I want adventure in the great wide somewhere.
2) Look, there she goes, that girl is so peculiar.
3) That girl is strange, no question.
4) Dazed and distracted, can’t you tell?
5) No denying she’s a funny girl that Belle
6) A dreamy, far-off look
7) you’ll see she meets her Prince Charming
8) but she won't discover that it’s him ’til chapter three!
9) he stole my heart I’m hardly breathing
10) They both want more than this provincial life.
Provincial life: unadventurous, not knowing about people and events in other places, limited concerns or interests
Staring at this piece of art I began to see similarities between Belle and me. I am a brunette. My favorite color is yellow. I am a florist by hobby. I like adventure, but who doesn’t? My peculiarity isn’t limited to being LDS; I’m often weird and unusual. As months speed by I become more dazed and easily distracted. My type of funny is an adjective “difficult to explain or understand”. I assure you there are moments when Lane will attest that I am difficult…totally. I, like Belle, met my Prince Charming - me at 37. (Once in a blue moon.) And in a mere 7 days we leave our beautiful home for time with family and far off places. Bring on the “GREAT WIDE SOMEWERE!"
One mystery remains. The artist who drew Belle did not sign it. I have my best guess but I’m asking for the artist to claim her work.
WHO DREW THIS PICTURE FOR ME?
Family happenings:
April 13th - Alta is now & forever in double digits!
We love you forever…and always will.

Post-Easter salutations. We mailed cards and flip-books. We Doordashed early to get Saturday off. We watched general conference. We got by without coloring eggs. And…
1) We hosted the Kelley family.
2) Sadly Tyson was traveling for business.
3) We ‘partied with the fun chicks’.
4) We doubled up the flimsy paper plates so they would hold more food.
5) Heston split his and agreed that yes, 2 plates did hold more food ;o} , huge laughter.
5) These kids LOVE their veggies…except the one that rhymes with Hatcher.
6) Meredith makes award-winning salads Every. Time.
7) Taggart found the octopus after several hints.
8) Alta hid it because she tied for the discovery.
9) We also had one of our seminary students (Miami 2015) come stay one night and introduce us to her fiancé
10) Heston loves to build puzzles.
Did you see what I did there. I wrote two number 5’s.
Dinner was followed by the last session of General Conference. I took an unplanned but appreciated nap.
Coming this week:
7th Jami & Chris celebrate 7 years as Mr & Mrs.
18 days until we leave our sweet house.
We love you forever,
