Grandpa’s Lies

I hope you all appreciate this as much as I do.

Robbie Yates's avatarRobbie Yates

My Grandpa tells me stories
I think they’re sometimes lies.
He tells me he bakes cookies
And mixes in dead flies.
He tells me he’s a psychic,
That he reads Grandma’s mind—
But “All her thoughts are empty
There’s nothing there to find!”

My Grandpa tells me stories
And lots of them aren’t true.
He told me when he was a kid
He ate a horse’s poo.
He told me he’s a ninja
And saves the world from crime
He said “I’d give more details—
But oops!
We’re out of time!

#bethelight – Day 243

Today was a good day doing missionary related service.  Today was email day.  I was able to "chat" with my missionary for a little while.  Then, the sister missionaries in my ward needed somewhere to do their laundry.  I told them to come to my house... and they did.  Then, I was teaching a voice… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 243

Back to Picture Journaling My Food.

I am so excited my husband was able to fix the camera on my iPhone.  Now I can take pictures of my food and truly report what it is I am consuming.  I haven't gotten on a scale, but the most exciting thing happened today.  I put on some shorts I haven't worn for a… Continue reading Back to Picture Journaling My Food.

#bethelight – Day 242

Today was a nice day of church service, family time and a little relaxation on my back porch.  We also fed the sister missionaries.  It is a bit of a "pay-it-forward" thing for me.  I am hoping that some family in Missouri is doing all that they can to keep my Hannah fed and safe. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 242

Scripture Sunday

Be Still… A Few Thoughts on Meditation

I have made a new discovery for myself.  I have been focusing on spiritually grounding myself with daily scripture study and prayer.  Sadly, my commitment to my scripture study, and most frequently, prayer is irregular at best.  Don't get me wrong.  I am much better at these two practices than I used to be and… Continue reading Be Still… A Few Thoughts on Meditation

Satisfaction Saturday

Satisfied with Temple Worship

I had the opportunity to attend the temple.  This time, as I drove up to the parking lot, my heart was filled with joy and whispered, "I am home."  I have always thought of the temple as "home."  It is a symbol of peace in a chaotic world. "The moment we step into the house… Continue reading Satisfied with Temple Worship

#bethelight – Day 241

Today I took my daughter and we went to support a local children's theatre production of The Jungle Book.  I believe firmly that we must keep the arts alive in the heart of the youth.  Supporting local theatre and the friends who are involved is super important.  Good job Josh, Elisa, Nolan, Chloe, Broden, Haven,… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 241

Family Friday

Celebrating Our Independence!

Wow!!! What a crazy week!!!  We have been so crazy busy.  We started the week working way too many hours and we ended the week working way too many hours! We worked on a float for the 4th of July parade for my theatre kids.  I also helped my friend's cast create a simple set… Continue reading Celebrating Our Independence!

4 Weddings and No Funeral… Which Show is Which?

I had a fun time with a few of my Thespians over the Independence Day celebration.  They decided to enter a float for the annual 4th of July parade.  I was tired of the "float" we had done for the past few years.  I just didn't want to get out the Cinderella pumpkin carriage once… Continue reading 4 Weddings and No Funeral… Which Show is Which?

#bethelight – Day 239- 240

Yesterday is a blur.  I worked and worked and worked. It was an extra long day. But at the end of my long day my daughter really wanted to go to the store... so I took her.  Sometimes it is important to sacrifice for the people you care about. Today will be another long day. … Continue reading #bethelight – Day 239- 240
