Thoughts From a Frazzled Mind

My guilty pleasure . . . ·           E ating an ice cream cone while I play computer games ·          Reading books while I eat breakfast and dry my hair o    I read fiction books by LDS authors almost exclusively.   I like the fact that pretty much they contain good values and often I learn good lessons that I can apply in life Long baths while reading books  (did I mention that I like to read?)

Tasha and Audrey July 2013 After a LONG night's drive (thank you so much for staying awake and talking to me all night, Marilyn!) we finally reached Taina's house in Chino.  We all stumbled into the house, dropped into couches,  and fell asleep for a couple of hours before heading to San Diego.  We didn't tell Tasha that we were on our way, so it was a great surprise when we arrived. We quickly got into our bathing suits and headed out for a refreshing swim in the pool. Marilyn and Maddie model their modest swim wear. The pool was perfect!  Nice and refreshing after the long drive.   Me and Maddie with Tasha's turtle named " Shelly Greeny Tasha" It received that name from Zane's niece and nephew.

Your favorite childhood toys                 This question is difficult because I am so old that I can’t remember much of my childhood!  I do remember that I loved books.    I would read and read and read.  Occasionally I would send my friends home so that I could read!  And yes, I was one of those who hid under the covers with a flashlight to read late into the night!                   I had lots of Barbies, but didn’t so much play with them as much just dress them up and then redress them and style the hair.  I even tried sewing some clothes for them.              My favorite thing as a child, and it still applies now as an adult, is playing games.   I love playing games, board games, card games, dice games, you name it!  I remember that for about four years st...
