Okazaki.    She is probably my favorite LDS author and absolutely inspires me.    Even more than reading her books, I love to hear her speak.     I have been re-reading this book, [...]

Grandma’s Music Makers

  These are the Southern Utah grandchildren tonight at the piano recital.  I was so pleased with how the five oldest girls bravely performed on the piano and for Steele’s job of being our announcer.   Aren’t they all beautiful in their pretty Christmas dresses?   And doesn’t Steele look handsome?

                                                                                                                                                  I grew up on Erma Bombeck, at least from 1971, when I discovered If life is a bowl of cherries, What am I doing in the pits?   I knew immediately she was my kind of person and eventually bought every single book she ever wrote.    I love her. So when Alice had another meme [...]
