The Backward Life

“The road to hell is paved with works-in-progress.” —Philip Roth

Wow, it has really been a while since I have posted here. Things have been a little crazy and are just now leveling out. Our whole family started school, Moira got baptized, we went to Oregon to see Jon's sister Heather and her new baby (and of course Daniel and Derrick too). It has been an eventful few months.

First of all Moira's baptism. She was so happy to finally get baptized, not to mention having her grandparents here from California. Mo and Maggie claim they can still smell grandma's perfume in the car. There were a surprising number of people at the baptism considering we are fairly new to the ward. Mo's primary teachers came along with part of the primary presidency, the bishopric and several families in the ward. Ka-Rynn sang and Shannon played the piano. It was really nice. Both my parents gave talks (my dad filled in for Joel who was ill). The day was really nice.


We have had some really warm weather recently and Moira and I were talking about how it was very hot. She proceeded to tell me that the reason it is so hot is "because the people on the t.v. who tell us it will be hot, make it hot. If they say it is going to rain, they make it rain, but sometimes, it doesn't rain and that is because they were too lazy to make it rain that day."

So there you have it in a nutshell. Our meteorologists really are responsible for the weather!!!
Okay so I was browsing blogs and I found these. Now I seem to remember these from the late 80's early 90's. Is is just me or are these "shades" back in style? I have to keep everyone's fashion current and updated, so I may just have to order a few dozen pair and give them as Christmas gifts.
