Where's the temple?

I was in the kitchen making bread.....the wind was howling and minuscule little snowflakes were coming down. I told Merilee, "It would be a blizzard, except the flakes are too small." I closed my blinds (it looked cold outside), and finished the bread dough. Then I walked into my office and you can hardly see across the street! We have about 3 inches of snow, and it's coming down hard. I have faith that the temple is still there--and we're planning on going this afternoon!

Ezra update

Ezra is in the hospital.....they actually 'caught' him in a fainting spell in the emergency room, so now they are monitoring him. [He does quit breathing.....!] The first seizure medicine they put him on will NOT work for him.....he was awake all night and couldn't control himself. (Not that two year olds control themselves very well anyway!)
Last night about 10 they came and said that he also has H1N1. So, he is starting on Tamiflu, too.
Pray for Meri's family---that's all they need to have the flu spreading around, too. Which means, of course, that all the little kids at Jarom's birthday party were exposed. And we wonder why the flu spreads so fast?
Praying for all of you! Hopefully Merilee and Ezra will leave the hospital with a game plan of treatment for Ezra's long term care :)--and it will be an easy and livable plan for all involved!

Must be Christmas!!

Here is my beautiful 18 year old Christmas Cactus blooming for all it's worth in anticipation of the Holiday Season!

Tender Mercies

Three years ago we PRAYED hard that our car would pass safety and emissions and last just 'one more year'. Yesterday it passed safety and emissions and is registered for yet another year. I am SO thankful! Yeah Car! Go, car, go!!!

I'm ready for something new

I am ready for something GREAT to happen. This holding on by a thin thread has gotten OLD. Onward and upward!

Did I tell you we have very Scary Neighbors?

They just dropped in for a bite!

Fun recipe (from Annie)

Annie brought these last Sunday and they were very delicious, so I tried them. Well, mine didn't turn out as pretty as hers, and I haven't eaten one of mine yet, so I don't know if they even taste good, but they are fun, anyway!
Bake a cake, any flavor. When it is cooked and cool, put it in a big bowl and mix it with your mixer until it is a mass of crumbs. Add one can (or a little less) of frosting. Mix well. Chill for a couple of hours until you can form them into balls. Freeze overnight. Next day, dip them in candy melts. Annie did multi colored (like orange with green tops to look like pumpkins). I did chocolate, and then I squeezed out yellow melted candy melts into rather messy patterns. (It was harder than I thought.) Anyway, with practice, they could be beautiful. Both Annie and I put them on Popsicle sticks. Made for easier dipping, too! (ie/strawberry cake and frosting dipped in chocolate and then drizzled with red....Or carrot cake and cream cheese frosting dipped in vanilla and decorated with orange dots or something. They make a little cake bite that is delicious! I made chocolate cake/chocolate frosting dipped in chocolate. I hope mine taste good?! Anyway, kind of fun and cute, too.
