Mother's Day

I have never had a Mother's Day like this one! It was a great weekend. Bob and
I went camping in our Motor Home. The first time out with the RV. We had to try
it and see how it all worked. Bob's brother Dick and his wife Yvonne went with us.
They took their trailor they just bought. So we had a trial weekend with our rigs.
We went to Woodson Bridge RV Park. It is outside Corning, California and is on the Sacramento River. Our site was shady and on the side of the river bank. Although, it was a steep ledge down to the river...you didn't go down to see the river from our camp sites. The office had a trail down with a dock for boats. It was fun to sit and watch the river flow with fish jumping! We enjoyed playing games (we got them hooked on Hand, Knee and Foot) and the women "beat" the men good!!

We made a list of things we needed and things we forgot! So it was a great break in trip. The best part? RIDING in the MOTOR HOME....I laid on the couch all the way home!!!! THIS IS THE LIFE... (the picture of the bed I am showing because I finished the curtains...the other picture showed the old curtains)

Granddaughter's Blessing

What a beautiful thing to witness when your son blesses his daughter. In this case David's third daughter!! We went to Sacramento on May 3rd (which happens to be a special date for Bob and I...he returned home from his mission on that day...and that was the first time we met in person! It was 36 years ago, to be exact!!) to
attend David's Fast Meeting.
Julie's parents were there along with Christy, Chris,and kids. I was able to make Samantha Grace her blessing dress. I hope I am able to do that for all my Granddaughters. I have made 9 now. I just didn't do Alison's and Kyles's. My mother wanted to buy her first great-granddaughter's dress and Kylee wore Angela's blessing dress. Sounds like I will start on another scrapbook of all the blessing dresses! I have made 3 baptism dresses so far and so I have more down the road with those. These are my favortie things to sew right now.

After the blessing we had a great lunch at David's and of course a fun time visiting.
We have missed just one blessing of our grandchildren. That was Alyssa's, Angela's second daughter. They lived in Texas at that time. But...we made it to her baptism!
We hope we can attend all of those too. This is when being a grandparent is the BEST!

Piano Recital

I had a fun Piano recital on April 30th. I had it in our home since I teach
just 12 students. I invited only parents and we fit fine. A mother made the
cutest cake for our refreshments. I included a picture of it. My theme was
"Bach to Rock". Each student played a Classical selection and a Rock song.
The Rock songs turned out to be the hardest to learn. I had to simplyfy alot
of the songs since I have quite a few beginners. Well...that is over for
another year!
