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 left Little Miss with Joey because we felt it would be just a little too dangerous for her and went to try our hand at axe-throwing. We had a marvelous time!

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!

I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
