For Family Friday this week I choose to remember my grandma, Clara Lee White. She died on Friday, a couple weeks shy of her 92 birthday. She was the youngest child of Joseph Sharp Packer and Jesse Anderson. She didn't talk about her childhood much. There are a few stories out there that would lead… Continue reading In Honor of Grandma

From Mama Bear to Mama Swan
This week I wasn't very good about taking pictures of the family activities. We were super busy with school, work, opening a show, and prepping to send Hannah off on her mission. I really should do better at it though, or Family Friday will begin to get rather boring! Perhaps what I should do is… Continue reading From Mama Bear to Mama Swan
Beginning a New Year – It’s a Zoo!
We began 2018 by celebrating with friends... ... and family. I delivered a back drop that Hannah and I painted and picked up some things we are borrowing for Lion King, JR. I felt like I was driving down the road with a zoo! Those are the Rhinos and giraffes behind me. LOL. I am… Continue reading Beginning a New Year – It’s a Zoo!

St. Nick was good to all and brought a couple silly things and Harry Potter shirts and… Continue reading Running Through the Christmas Season
Returned with Honor
The story of my son and his mission service is a little like Paul or Alma. As a young teen he became disenchanted with the church and the gospel of Jesus Christ. He did not attend church for many years. It grieved my soul. However, when I would pray about what i could do, a… Continue reading Returned with Honor
Family Friday – Keeping Busy
Winter is upon us. Rain has become the norm. I've missed rain. It's a welcome sight. John installed a new water filter. I am so glad!!! I love to drink water, but filtered water is so much better than tap water! I worked a couple concerts at school. Hannah and Lilli are silly girls. They… Continue reading Family Friday – Keeping Busy
