WE MET ON A BLIND DATE AND HAVE BEEN MARRIED SINCE 1980. WE HAVE 2 GROWN DAUGHTERS AND ALSO CLAIM THEIR HALF-BROTHER. ALL OF THEM ARE MARRIED. OUR DAUGHTERS HAVE GIVEN US 9 GRANDKIDS. BOTH RICK & I GREW UP IN MAGIC VALLEY. DIANE GREW UP ON A FARM IN HANSEN, IDAHO. RICK GREW UP IN THE TOWN OF BUHL, IDAHO. WE LIVE ABOUT 2 MILES OUT OF TOWN IN THE ORIGINAL FARM HOUSE OF THE AREA. (Many thanks given to my nephew's wife-Lyndsay-for preparing the background. She's very talented and apprecieated.)

I TRY TO PATTERN MY LIFE AFTER THIS.

13 th ARTICLE OF FAITH: We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed we may say that we folllow the admonition of Paul---We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to do endure all things. If there is anything viruous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

NEW LOOK

Well, I guess you can see that I have a new look. I'm not satisfied with this. I'm still looking for the perfect one. This one will do until, I find the perfect one -and also smart enough to get it. I'm not as talented as Lyndsay is and take elements from others to make one.
Today, Rick surprised me by helping to put up all of the outside Christmas lights. That usually ends up being only my job. My body is so wore out anymore, it's geting very hard to do the "physical" stuff. I'm just about to the point of not putting them up very much longer. However, if Rick helps, then I will continue to put them up each year and enjoy them. THANKS RICK FOR THE EFFORT TODAY!

Well, you're so sweet! If you want, you can check out this website: http://www.digiscrapdepot.com/freebies/theme-kits/102.aspx if you find a theme you'd like I'd be happy to put together a background for you!

How nice that Rick offered to help, it is always nice when someone makes our work lighter.

I can't figure out how to do my own backgrounds either. I just free websites for my backgrounds.

Were you putting up Christmas lights now? Or taking them down?

Howdy again! I like the colors in the Web site the church uses:

This is for Mike's information. I put my lights up so that they are shinging bright the very day after Thanksgiving. (They are all on timers, so they come on and go off when I want them to - whether I'm home or not.) I turn them off on the 2nd of January.
I just posted the pictures because my extended families don't make it to my house anymore.
