Easter

Easter fell on General Conference (church on TV as we call it) weekend this year...or did conference fall on Easter weekend? Whatever! Anyways, after years of it being televised on regular TV, this year it was only shown on BYUTV or the internet. So moms home doesn't receive the BYU channel, and of course no laptop...so she was going to have to wait for the CD version to come to her! This upset her a little. So we had her over for the Sunday morning session of conference. Traditionally we do not do really anything for Easter...church, stay home and veg. as the kids bounce off the walls from candy intake! But this year, having my mom over, I threw together a small dinner of ham, funeral potatoes and green beans with Rice Krispie treats. Easy-Peasy and mom loved it. Amanda and her group dropped by for a quick "Happy Easter" and then were off to their Easter feast with friends. Mom enjoyed herself and was pleased to see conference "live" for one session! Here are pictures of her with her pride and joys!

Achievment Day Angels!

I have known about these girls going to visit my mom weekly! But I don't know if they know what an impact it has on my mom, the other residents, the care home workers, and me! They are wonderful, loving girls. Visiting a care home full of eldrely, and handicap people can be scary and even intimidating...but these girls just look right past it! Please read the blog entry below by one of the mothers of the girls!
