General Conference Sunday

We had such a great day yesterday. Slept in forever, watched the first session of conference with no interruptions. We were worried for a minute because the doofuses that put up our satellite DISH put it in the wrong spot, so every time the wind blows, a tree gets in the way. So we listened to the radio and put the TV on mute. Jackie Chan lip syncing and all. After that session ended, we hurried and had some lunch and went up the canyon to a place called Cherry Springs. Of course, we forgot the camera. Sorry. Use your imaginations: incredible leaves, little creek, over-hanging boughs of wonder. :-) It was just wonderful. Family togetherness, nature, good spirit, what more could you ask for? Glorious. Came home, watched the last session (this conference seems extra good this time). I think it's so cool that with all the economic turmoil, etc. that we've had lately, there was no "We told you so!", no extra emphasis on being prepared, more than is ever mentioned. Either we know it, or we don't. Either we're out of debt and solvent....or we're not. Any questions, people?? We had our traditional Conference Feast: roast chicken, carrot-potatoes and gravy, homemade rolls, cranberry salad and acorn squash. Allie's little tummy was stretched tight. We all helped clean up and put the girls to bed early. It turns out that when Julie can sleep as long as she needs to, she needs 12 hours of sleep! This is my 6 year old! Since we get up at 6 a.m., I figured a 6:30 bedtime was not out of the borders of reason.
