Family is Everything… Sunrise: 6:16 a.m.
Sunset: 8:31 p.m.
Went to the dentist
this morning.
Dr. Greenwood with his
assistant, Audrey.
The small cavity was in
the bottom right tooth, which
had had a root canal.
Since there is no nerve,
it did not have to
be deadened.
Fastest cavity I've
ever had filled.
Kristi and Amy are the
front desk gals.
Really nice.

Meanwhile back in Texas,
the second greatgrandchild
in our family graduated from
pre-K...
Diesel is 4 and will be
going to Kindergarten
next year.
{I'm not sure if the last
day of school came the day
before or the day after the
"graduation"}
Diesel’s Last
day of School! He has grown so much this year! We have loved hearing his
stories about school, friends and what he has learned! He’s gone through a lot
this year with moving, figuring out his health, missing Idaho, making new
friends, starting gymnastics, participating in soccer and being a big brother.
He currently wants to be a gymnastics teacher when he grows up, his favorite
color is blue, favorite animal a Rhino and he eats applesauce and all day! We
love our Diesel and are so proud of him! I’m grateful for my sweet silly boy!
///// Last 2 pictures are his 1st day of school. He’s grown so much!!diesel
Diesel with his family at one
of many graduation's
in his life...
The Anderson family--
Parkr & Katie,
Taitum, Diesel, Scottie Marie
A big bonus for Diesel
was that his Grama Fisher
got to come from Idaho
to be with him.
Pre-K
graduation! We love
and are proud of
our Diesel dude!

Our Wednesday night movie was...
The second half of
"The Ten Commandments"
from 1956.
It is such a powerful story!
I do love it when Gary
can come over.

Family is Everything…
David & Julie came from
Draper to take me to
supper for Mother's Day.
I love the beautiful
flowers, the card, and
enjoyed the delicious supper.
Best of all, I enjoy being with you.
Thank you so much.
We went to where Anna
is working for the summer
in downtown Provo.
"Back Door Brgr"
261 N University Avenue
Upstairs of the
Heber Hatchets.
Western Theme...
Vintage movie posters...
David and Julie, I had a great
time. The food was delicious,
so fun to see Anna where
she is working for the summer.
***Since David
minored in philosophy
at BYU,
he probably knows
all about this man.
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you
yourself alone.
Again emphasizing individualism,
Nietzsche tells us here that no one else can make decisions for us, solve our
problems, or hand us our successes. It’s an empowering idea — reminding us not
only that nothing worthwhile is easy, but that we have the power to shape our
own destiny and overcome any obstacle — but it also carries the weight of
responsibility.
SATURDAY, MAY 13, 2023 Family is Everything… Roses
Rendezvousing with Steve
who took me out to a movie and
then to eat

thought I would."

Always love being

Fun to be together...
I got to be with five

** *I am so thankful for The Plan of Salvation and the Atonement of Jesus Christ that makes this Great Plan operational.At the end of this May 14th,I pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day.
I share these truths as my testimony to you...
Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence. He loves us just as we are at this very moment. He knows what our potential is.*** *** ***Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all.*** *** ***I am thankful for the guidance of the Holy Ghost as the third member of the Godhead. Walt said to me once: "I look forward to thanking the Holy Ghost in person when I get to Heaven. I don't think we give Him enough credit for all He does."
*** *** *** *** ***Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration. He is the Restorer of all things.*** *** ***President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world.
Here's something he has said:Daily Scripture: Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers. - Doctrine and Covenants 112:10
Daily Quote: Put yourself in a position to begin having experiences with Him. Humble yourself. Pray to have eyes to see God’s hand in your life and in the world around you. Ask Him to tell you if He is really there—if He knows you. Ask Him how He feels about you. And then listen. - Russell M. Nelson
*** *** ***The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.*** *** ***

Because of the restored Temple Ordinances families can be sealed for eternity.
