Happy 50th Birthday Roy!

This is no April Fool's Day joke. My younger brother was born on April 1st; Roy would have been 50 today. He died when he was 37 and I miss him. Roy, take care of Mom, my Alison and our grandparents! Love you lots.

Peggy's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week!

I've had the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad flu this week and YES, I had a flu shot. There's not anything good about the flu--except that I was able to watch some movies... so it's been a depressing week. I've accomplished NOTHING. I guess the two bright spots are: as I posted Angela and Tommy are having a baby girl--Sadie Jane and people have been very kind in wishing me Happy Birthday...which is the first day of Spring...today, March 20th! I'm getting really old and that's not fun either.

I teach the lesson in Relief Society Sunday and it's taken from the talk given by Pres. Uchtdorf at the women's broadcast on: Happiness: our heritage. Hummm....this hasn't been a happy week, in fact it has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week--in more ways than just the flu; I've been tested in many ways and I know I've failed the test--this is difficult cuz I usually don't fail. I guess I need to snap out of it so I can teach with the spirit and hopefully teach the women in my ward what they need to hear. I guess I need this lesson more than anyone.

Please remember me in your prayers. I need to shake the remaining flu and the emotional and physical drain that comes with being sick, and most of all, I need to count my blessings and be happy.

Thanks for "listening" and caring!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

Angela had an ultra sound today and when she called it a him to the tech., she was told she'd better start referring to him as a her!! Sadie Jane will be born the middle of August. She will be our second grandchild; her brother, Jackson, is our first. Jack looks just like his Daddy and we'd love for Sadie to have curly, auburn hair like her Mommy!

Beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple

You've may have seen this picture before, apparently it's been forwarded a lot. My sister, Mary, sent it to me and I hadn't seen it before. Here's what she wrote:

"Well I think this is just about the most beautiful picture ever!
The story is that someone took it from the Hilton Hotel during the fog and inversion a few weeks ago.
It has probably made the rounds a few times since I got it from two different people."
Enjoy!

Pictures of our trip to San Francisco coming up!

The first FIVE people to respond to this post will get something from me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:
1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I do, but I'll try!
2- It'll be done this year. (might be a little while)
3- You have no clue what it's going to be.It may be a story. It may be poetry, shoes, bags, or a little invention of my own! I may draw or paint something. I may bake you something. I may mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure!
4- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange. Believe me... it may blow your mind!

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win from me when you get it!
Sounds like fun, right?

So, let's play!

My Dough Girl

One of my co-workers brought cookies to work yesterday...they were purchased from My Dough Girl which is located in Salt Lake at 770 S. 300 E. They are INCREDIBLE COOKIES....you can find her website here. She names her cookies after women; my favorite is Vivianna. Vivianna's description is: Feel the warmth of the equator. Orange dough, mangos & dark chocolate...YUM!!! My second favorite is Audrey: Almond dough packed full of adoration, almonds, cranberries and white chocolate. I'm not a white chocolate fan, but these are delicious! I can't wait to go in and try the red velvet and Ricki. Ricki's description is as follows: One might find themselves saying "Ooh Aah All Man's Joy!" Coconut dough with chocolate chips, coconut, and almonds. You can either purchase the frozen cookie dough balls, take them home and bake one or a dozen...or you can buy them already baked. Oh, my, if you're in SLC, stop in and try them, you won't be disappointed.
