Please click this link to read the article: Earthquake hits Iceland

An earthquake has hit Iceland and I'm trying to get a link to the article on this blog...I copied the above from an email I got from the Iceland Association but it doesn't work.... It's blue and underlined but it doesn't take me anywhere when I click on it...

Annette sent me this email and a picture of an owl. Not sure if I can get it on but I'll try...

As you know we went to Pineview for the weekend and tested out our new spot, our old spot is no longer reservable as it is now a camp host spot. I forgot what it is like to camp in the bitter cold. It rained off and on the whole time but we still had a great trip. Chance and Alexis checked out the lake as soon as they set up their tent and came running back saying "the beach is gone, the beach is gone". The water is really high. They went swimming twice and people told them they were crazy, including Blaine and I. But they would come back shivering and all blue but with big grins on their faces!! What it is like to be young with no fear and only determination.

We met a wonderful family while we were there and became fast friends. It is always amazing to me how that can happen so fast with a complete stranger. We even had a Sunday meeting with them. There son who just came back from a mission gave the lesson and did a wonderful job. Alice the mother told Alexis and Chance how often do you get to worship in the mountains and at 10:00 at night! We even sang an opening and closing song and had a wonderful dutch oven desert.

I am attaching a picture of an owl that was camped in a tree above our camp ground. It was neat to watch it.

Take care.

Annette

TANYA! Thanks for your email. You are right, I did not have a current working email address for you! THANKS for sending me one!! ~ chris8272@digis.net ~ I guess we'll just go along here and see what develops. It will be a learn as you go, I suppose. "-) I LOVE being notified that someone has commented! It's like Christmas! "-)

Not much to report. I thought ML was coming this weekend but it didn't work out. I'm disappointed but I now I still have her visit to look forward to!! Know what I mean, Jelly Bean? "-)

Happy Birthday, Dale!! This is the day to celebrate you! Jazmine's and Daryl's birthdays are Wednesday, the 28th! Happy Birthday to them, also! Denise's birthday is June 1st which isn't many days away but I wasn't thinking about it because it's in a different month! "-) Silly me! Happy Birthday, Denise, in a less than a week!!

I wish there was a way for everyone to be notified when there is a comment or posting. I was going to do a new post to add this and then I got to a place that allowed me to edit this posting. However, I'm not sure how I got to that place...It would be a learning experience is I could ever remember what I have done.... "-) Ain't life grand?! "-)

LOVE thinking about you all!!

Best4Last news!

I had the wrong date on there! Silly Me! I couldn't see how to edit my post so I guess I'll just make a new post.

My bathtub has always been slow to drain and I put some drain-o down there every once in a while and it does ok...Well, the other day it didn't seem to drain at all! I got out of the tub and looked back and it hadn't gone down a bit! I took the plunger to it and let it sit for a while...Still, not much change. I took the plunger to it again and let it sit again and it was down some, but not enough to really call it 'draining.' I did that a couple more times and finally went in there and realized I had not blocked open the drain as you have to do. You have to put this thing to hold down the little 'thing' that opens the drain. I felt pretty dumb but there was one benefit. The tub is draining really well now! I need to use the plunger on it more often!!

I LOVE YOU!!
THE GOSPEL'S TRUE!!

I don't know if any body is looking at this...And I don't know how to make it possible for you to post something. I think you can comment on what has been said.

Tia, it's fun to read about you and yours!! What a great thing this may turn out to be! It feels promising!!

I'm having more water trouble. Something that the furnace repair people did changed something so the irrigation system is no longer getting water. I'm calling everyone and they are all claiming it couldn't POSSIBLY be anything they did! In the mean time, there is no rain and the lawn needs water!

Spent TOO long with Activity Day girls yesterday. We went out to Kirk Chandler's place (Frank & Nancy's oldest son for those who would understand that relationship) where they have sheep and are lambing. The girls got to see twins come in to the world! However, it did take quite a bit longer than usual and by the time I got the girls in my car delivered back home, I was pretty tired of 10 year old screaming! They are pretty cute little girls, however, and some of them are actually calm and quiet... "-)

Tomorrow is Dee's birthday and Thursday was Sean's and we have LOTS in May! Seems like once I figured it was our biggest month. That certainly could have changed!

I was inspired by Tia's blog email. WOW! Great looking house!!

I don't know what you have to do to comment on here. I'm sure there is a way to do this. I clicked on Tia's blog to comment or sign in, I can't recall for sure, and this blog I created a year or 3 ago came up. I think we should do this rather than the Family Letter.
