A multitude of things

First of all, let me say how badly I feel about Betsy's mother passing away.  She has been a courageous and faithful fighter through her struggle with cancer.  She was a wondeful woman and I am lucky to have her daughter in my family.  Betsy is also a courageous  and wonderful person and will do whatever is necessary to make things alright in a family.  She was by her mother's bedside when she passed away.  She has also been a great comfort to her father.  She is a person to emulate!  Her mom had a beautiful funeral and my husband and I felt so blessed we could attend.

I also want to thank my daughter, Tiffany.  I don't know how she squeezed the time in to redo my blog.  It was a wonderful surprise-Thanks Tiff--I love you tons and the format is beautiful and unexpected!!!!

Easter was at Betsy's although Betsy was in SL caring for her mother.  Klint was home with the family and it was a busy weekend because Tanya, (Troy and Carlin's daughter) also received her patriarchal blessing.  It was a wonderful and spiritual time.

Getting ready to go out and hunt Easter eggs




It was also Ana"s birthday, so George bought a cake for her and we had it at Sunday Dinner.

My good friend, Jessyka, who moved to Ohio and was visiting family this week.  I am so happy she stopped by and also happy she is expecting number 3!  Thus, the pillow although she looks beautiful.

Jim and Renee, who are on their mission in Argentina, stopped in for dinner with our good friends, Eddie & Mabel Pabon.  The Pabons now live in Argentina.  We met them on a cruise some years back and have kept in touch.

Renee sent this, and other pictures when they were at Eddie and Mabel's.  This is when George & I first met them on our cruise to Italy.  We became friends immediately and spent each day and evening with them.  When they lived in New York they took George & I and some of our children to dinner and presented each of us with a gift.

George's brother Jim & his wife, Renee.  Besides being related they are also our fishing buddies.  They will miss the fishing this year but we look forward to the next.  Thanks Renee for sending me pictures of Eddie & Mabels home.  We are so appreciative that you took the time to meet them.  I am sure they loved you both!
