Nana

Last week I visited my friend's grandma, Nana, at her house for a few hours. We chatted and I took her to lunch. She got to choose where we went and so it was off to McDonald's. We both had cheeseburgers and fries. It was really fun! I really enjoyed hanging out with her. She's such a kick.

My Window

The weather is beautiful today. The high is only 67, but it's 64 right now. I'm sitting in my room with all my windows open letting the cool breeze come through. It's partly cloudy with a little shower here and there. As I was sitting on my bed I thought about the view I have out my windows. The fields are green with the sun shining on the mountains and trees behind them. I live in a part of town where some of it is still farmland. It's so perfect. I love Heavenly Father's beautiful creations. I thought I'd give you a glimpse of the view I have so you get the picture. (sorry it's not too clear with the screen in the way)

Dust Storm

We had a dust storm just south of where I live today. It caused five crashes on one freeway. I was in a little one a few years ago. I was coming out of my neighborhood and it came over my car and I couldn't see anything. So I just stopped and it soon passed. It can be pretty dangerous.

The first two pictures are from today's dust storm I got from the news channel's website and the rest I got from google.

Classic

I was going through my pictures tonight and came across this one. It's from when I went to help tend my sisters kids in October.

Story: I told Abby to "make Evelyn smile" and this is what she did. She obeyed me, but not exactly what I was going for. Classic!!

Camping

I went camping for the first time in 15 years (girls camp doesn't count). Here's some pictures to prove it.

LOTS OF FUN!!

Note

I'm thinking I really like changing my blog background. I tend to never go too long without swapping it out. There's just so many cute ones to choose from that I have to try them all! Just an FYI for today. Goodnight.
