Spring Break ......Day 3

Day Three:
We jumped in the car, traveled a few hours, and spent a fun day with our family in Idaho.
There were some great decorated egg creations.



The rain waited until our Easter Egg Hunt was over before it arrived.



We ate delicious food.

And....
we hung out with some amazing people (like Aunt Mardene)!

It was another great day!

Spring Break.....Day 2

Today was not a "fun" day off.
However,
I got a lot done in the yard.
(My arms are evidence- you should see all the rose bush pricks!)

I took some before and after shots, but my camera isn't cooperating right now.
Hopefully, I can post some pictures later.

I also managed to have TWO good visits with friends
and
I spent some quality time watching H.G. t.v.

Day three should be more exciting.......

Spring Break- Day 1

Today I spent a fun day with my sister, Linda.

We enjoyed lunch at The Olive Garden.
(The side dish of Alfredo sauce was heavenly with the bread sticks-
since we're not counting calories today! )

We had fun walking through Hobby Lobby.
(I refrained from buying anything.)

We toured a really cute model home.
(They wouldn't let us take any pictures!)

I bought these cute towels at a fun store called the Rock Loft.
I thought I might make some pillows out of them.

I also dropped two of my daughters off at the airport for their Spring Break trip to San Diego and hosted my niece Joanna and her hubby Eric as they prepare to fly off to N.Y. tomorrow.

It was a good day.

(By the way, it is really hard sleeping in when you are used to getting up early!)

Spring Break

Top Ten Reasons Why I Need a Spring Break!

10. Time to get a respite from job stress.
(Yes, I can be more patient with people....)
9. Time to catch up on sleep
(by staying up late and then sleeping in)!
8. Time to get to some of those odd jobs
(like the ones that just keep getting moved to tomorrow's list).
7. Time to catch up with an old friend
(0r a young one).
6. Time to see a movie
(so I can join in on the conversation with coworkers).
5. Time to do some yard work.
(I know there are some spring flowers hiding there somewhere).
4. Time to travel or see some new and interesting things
(even if it only means visiting some place local).


3. Time to enjoy and appreciate the beauty of spring blossoms
(Visit some place like Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival)
2. Time to sit and do absolutely nothing
(just because I can)!
1. Time to spend quality time with the people I love
(my family)!

Have a great Spring Break!

Yeah!

A great weekend...!

We had an enjoyable weekend listening to our church leaders
as they conducted the semi-annual general conference from Temple Square.
The weather was perfect.
The advice timely and inspiring.
The music was beautiful.

I LOVE our CHURCH!

Happy Birthday, Julie!

Today is our little sister's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Julie!

She grew up to be a great lady!
(And a pretty nice sister.)

(Thanks for the picture, Kelli. I "borrowed" it.)

Thanks for the fun memories!
Love you,
JoAnn

Ever wondered what you would look like if you were famous (or infamous)? Or if you were someone else?
My friend Megan had this link on her blog today and I must admit I had a really good chuckle as I played with some of the choices. Check this out.

Thanks for the fun idea, Megan!
