Wishes

"What did you wish for Momma?" You asked me, after you blew this flower, and I answered "nothing," but I lied. I really did make a wish. I simply wished for the ability to remember this is your wish, not mine.

Happy Campers Get Mail!!!

JB is heading for Girl Scout Camp July 26-31. Some of you have mentioned wanting to send her a letter to receive at camp. It takes 5 days for a letter to arrive at camp, so sending a letter now will assure she gets it when she is there. If you would like to send a care package, the GSU recommends that you send:
 "stationery, books, comics, pens, stickers, etc. Please do not send candy, food, or soda to your camper. It attracts insects and wild animals, creates conflict among bunk mates, and makes a mess."

Harry Potter Camp Week 4

A view of Hogwarts, starring Rosie the Magical Fatdog

Monday: 4th of July Holiday, so no school, but had lunch with friends Gwyn, Stacy, and Kathy instead. Played all afternoon on the slip-n-slide.
Tuesday: Discussed the properties of Wolfsbane http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconitum and how plants are commonly used in various medications and other type of "potions."
Wednesday: Professor Snape..known in the muggle world as USU Chemistry  Instructor Professor Harris came to show the class a lot of fun science and chemistry esperiments. The favorite was dipping a banana in liquid nitrogen and shattering it into a bunch of  little pieces. (Yeah, it was awesome!)
Thursday: Slytherin found the sword horcrux under the bridge in the middle of the stream...had to go barefoot and almost fell in the water! Only one week left. So SAD, because this is "the funnest summer thing I've ever done in my whole life. It's soooooo awesome!"

Happy Birthday, Mom!

This is Grandma Olive Johnson, Ruth (age 2) and Roxey (3 months)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Sis!

I have tried to give my child everything. I regret that I have not been able to give her the joy of having a sister.  I have 3! Someone who you know will always be there for you because no matter how awful you are to them, they really don't have much of a choice. They have to learn to put up with you! Lucky for me, I was blessed with much more than a sister, but a special friend with whom I shared some of my most favorite childhood memories. I remember tea parties, bike rides, phantom parades, yellow dogs and swimming lessons. Swimming in the river at "Flintstone Park," sandy Easter Egg hunts, and pillow forts. Sleep overs, crazy songs, and the uncanny ability to be in the same outfit even after days apart.
Happy Birthday, kid.  I love you!
