Today while I was cleaning out a closet, I found a box in which I had some old memorabilia that my Father gave to me a few years ago. When I was growing up we were in the Santa Barbara Stake. In November of 1962 the Mormon Choir of Southern California (which I don't remember existed) came to perform at the Ventura High School auditorium. It had been sponsored by the Santa Barbara Stake building fund. On the back of the program was this poem. I thought I would share it with you all.
"For the common things of everyday
God gave men speech in the common way
For deeper things men think and feel
God gave poets words to reveal
For the heights and depths no words can reach
God gave men music; the souls own speech." -Anon

I found a more recent picture of Richard and KaraLyn. I thought it might be fun to see a "now" and "then" comparison. I think I'm having too much fun with this blogging thing. Most of you know that Richard and KaraLyn play in the community orchestra. On March 4th, at 7:30, at the Rexburg Tabernacle, they are having another concert. Richard is the featured soloist, and will be playing the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto (3 movements) that evening. It's really long, so if you think you are going to fall asleep, please bring any snacks, caffeine drinks, toothpicks, whatever works. It would be especially good for your older children to attend. I'll bring my supply of certs. We would really like all of you to come if you can, so please put this on your calendar now. You will need to be there at least 1/2 hour before it starts. It's hard to save seats because there are many senior citizens that come (I guess that includes me) and they come early, with their chair pads and all. Love you! mom & grandma dixie

As I look back on the past year, I am extremely grateful for our blessings. Dispite the confusion and state of our country, I have thought about all the little miracles that are happening all around us, and with extended family. I continue to believe in a Heavenly Father who loves us, and hears and answers prayers.
I want to thank my family for all the joy they bring into our home. For my grandchildren who are my angels that brighten my day when I think I'm falling off my rocker!
This family picture makes me laugh. How often do we laugh out loud or just make a fool of ourselves? Not often enough! I have an incredible husband, that when life does a U-turn on him, he still plugs along with a positive attitude and with greater determination to press forward.
I love the Temple, and the peace and comfort we receive, and the blessings that have come to us for just striving to do the right stuff. And referring to the picture again, apparently Ryan took a potty break, or just trying to get the attention he obviously needs. :)
Thanks to all who have made me laugh, and have helped strengthened some of my weaknesses this past year. Hoping the new year will bring you comfort and JOY!
