Thanks to Kevin for being the best husband ever!  Does that mean he spoils me? Absolutely!

 He has happily supported me through 4 years of school assignments (some that last late into the night), 5 years of Primary lessons, 3.5 years of planning and writing the blog every Sunday, many dinner plans that didn't happen, and he doesn't bat an eye when I tell him I'm going shopping, or even when I have gone shopping and tell him after the fact 😁.  He has been great to go along with my travel plans, great to put together last minute meals, and doesn't complain a bit when I change the TV from the documentary he is watching to Master Chef.  THANKS KEVIN - YOU'RE THE BEST!

School is going well - only three more weeks to go.  I am going to start back at Liberty this week, on a temporary basis, until Courtney is able to come back. It is actually working out well, because the time I spend there counts as hours for my last project.  I know I have spent too much time in the office when I can't stand looking in the closet any longer, and completely pull everything out. So I have spent the majority of my time since Monday, sorting, storing, and throwing away bags of papers and odds and ends that I no longer need or want.  It feels so good, however, the rest of the house has been ignored, so I guess I will have to throw all of my effort into the next room on my list. 

One of my favorite things I found when going through one of the storage containers is the booklet Ruthie made for Mom when she turned 90, "90 Reasons To Be Thankful for Grammie".  In case you have forgotten, here are some of your responses:

"She lets us rake her carpet" (Kim)

"For always buying real butter when Holly and I came to town (Kevin)

"She remembered me a called on our anniversary" (Kate)

"Grammie always let me be the "cook"" (Adam)

"For keeping Papa in line" (Josh)

"Sending carrots and Ranch Dressing to the "farm" with me each day" (Adam)

"For making her special fruit that I could get into when we were there visiting" (Josh)

"She was there when I was born" (Kate)

"She had her grandchildren do a nativity play for Christmas" (Kim)

"She takes me to Taco Bell" (Everyone) 

There were so many fun things listed that were so typical of my Mom.  Such a fun thing to look at this week. 

 Hollie called me yesterday and was so excited because she had just been to a job fair and was offered a job at the Broadmoor making pastries.  I am so happy for her because and it looks like her culinary classes are paying off.  

  Way to go, Hollie!  We'll be down for a visit 😁🍰
