Wow! This blogging is fun! Of course the most exciting part is reading the comments, half of which are from myself--ha! I didn't realize how easy blogging is. It only took one daughter to fix me up ("shake me up, Judy!"), and one granddaughter to make it prettier ("There's a pretty-ish little wallpaper there."). Thanks Missy and Grace! Now I just need one more person to help me with pictures. Who will that be? 
I hope everyone enjoyed their fourth of July holiday. I am appreciating our independence more every year. Who knows how long it will last? Our leaders have warned us that if we are not righteous, we will lose our wonderful "land of promise" and our freedoms. As we have been reading Preach My Gospel, it is more evident to me that we must make the gospel our way of life. It has never been a Sunday only gospel, but I realize that I must make it more pervasive.
One of the memories that I have of the fourth of July is the year that Amy's robe caught on fire from the sparklers. That really scared me. I'm so thankful that she was not hurt badly. As I recall, she was singed a little but mostly on the robe. Do you remember anymore Amy?

Thanks to Gracie for helping me get some pics. I'm sure I have it all memorized now.
ReplyDeleteJudy? I seem to have forgotten that daughter. Anyway, way to go, Mom! Wallpaper and all! I'm so impressed. Maybe Dave and I can help you with the picture part of things. Speaking of pictures, I wonder if Jack is feeling bad he's not pictured as your 7th or even 8th baby. Maybe Dad needs to start a blog to do him justice. As for the robe incident, I think Laura and I repeat that story to our kids every year and they are probably terrified of sparklers by now. I don't remember getting burned myself, but my robe was definitely not useable after that night.
ReplyDeleteSinged robe? That's nothing! Have you ever stepped on a spark from a sparkler?! It is one of THE worst pains I have ever experienced. Mom, I LOVE your new blog wallpaper-it totally fits you. Thanks to Gracie for setting her up.
ReplyDeleteTo Amy, you don't know Judy? You've got to watch Bleak House and then you'll know. To Missy, I do remember now that you stepped on a sparkler still glowing . . OUCH! Have you healed yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you're enjoying blogging. Now we've just got to get you doing videos!
