Heavenly Thoughts

So, I was just thinkin' the other day about how much BJ loved rollerblading. I sure hope that he has an opportunity to blade in heaven, cuz it would be so cool that he could ride as fast he wanted without having to worry about injuring his body!

Actually, I was thinking about this world here on earth, and even though there are some things that are just plain ugly and evil, without looking too hard you have an opportunity to see beauty and goodness. There is so much beauty in nature - waterfalls, forests, stars twinkling, and of course the ocean with it's gorgeous beach. And so many people are kind and caring. Overall, earth is a pretty good place to live.

So, when I think about how good it is here, I get almost giddy thinking how terrific it must be in heaven! Like - multiply the good things here by 1000 times and take away any bad! How great is that???? So, even though I am missing BJ tons, and would like to talk with him again (and of course get a great big hug!) I am SO HAPPY that he is in heaven where things are so fantastically wonderful! When I think of him, I just smile thinking of all the great things that he gets to do in such an incredibly beautiful place.

Just thinking.

Great thought! Maybe he is teaching my dad how to blade, since dad now has all his toes.
Maybe dad is teaching BJ Spanish....just thinking too.

Great times it will be

Fun Day With Bubba

Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
