So several weeks ago Destry burned music from iTunes onto five CD's to put in the Yukon. He gathered a variety of genres from a variety of eras. There are quite a few selections from the Carpenters and ABBA. I enjoy listening to both.

Now whenever we get into the car and turn on the tunes we play a little game of "is this the Carpenter's or ABBA?" Usually they get it wrong.

Last Saturday morning SHOULD have been an ordinary Saturday morning. The children have "Saturday chores" that they are required to do before they move on with their day. There are a few exceptions. This morning Spencer had an exception because his scout troop led by Destry went on a rock climbing expedition. It was a gorgeous day! They had a great time thanks to Destry's former missionary companion and friend, Dallin Ward, who shared his talents and expertise with the group. Spencer was the star as I was told. For those of us who stayed behind, it should have been chore time after they left. They were all playing together nicely for a while and I just let them. It is fun to see them getting along and playing well. At around 10:00 I reminded them to get get started because Emma had her first basketball game of the season and Estelle had a birthday party that both started at 1:00. That should have been no problem. ...
