Lisa and her car

It has been a long time coming. Lisa has been driving a little "older" car for several years. She is now, proud to announce the purchase of her "dream car", a lovely Midnight Blue, 2006 Jeep Liberty. (with all the bells and whistles. Including leather upholstery)
Congratulations, Lisa. You are very deserving. Many happy hours of commuting.

Maybe this could be called, "Liberty Blue".

Check out that grill.

And rear mounted spare.

Looking good!

Maybe a little apprehensive (first car payments in years).

Annie is loving the new ride.

Malea's Adoption

On October 5th we went to Vancouver, Washington for the adoption of our Great Neice, Malea to John and Shelly Linfesty and her brother Matthew. It was a wonderful day for all. We all went to dinner together at the Olive Garden afterward and had a great time.

At the end of the court hearing, the judge allowed Matthew to rap the gavel on the desk, closing the case and finalizing the adoption. Next step is blessing her and being sealed in the temple next month.

Congratulations to the Linfesty Family

Mama's Baking Day

The other day I mentioned to Mama that the guys at the car lot had said how they sure would love to have some of her Cinnamon Rolls. So she decided that that was a good day to bake some. Scott Short and his brother Jack would pay 25 dollors a dozen for them and James Baxter one of the salesmen just raves over them. Mama loving to serve others so she went to work and I do mean work, as most of you know. Here are some pictures to show you what she did.

After 10#s of Flour, 6 packages of yeast, some other ingredients and a lot of time and energy here is the first of two batches she made that day.

Now she adds the cinnamon and sugar on the soft buttered dough .

Have to make sure that the sugar is spread evenly as much as possible.

She then rolls and cuts the dough.

Each roll being placed in its own pan they sit and rise and then are baked and frosted.

Then they were delivered 55 rolls to South Commercial Auto, where there were some very pleased recipient's. They all had much praise for the rolls.
