Then and Now

I remember the past when I look at family history or watch a shoe or read the scriptures. I can see that my backyard of nearly ten years has changed dramatically and has been filled in. Three of my children sleep elsewhere at night and I remember when they were here and needing me often. Now is a good time as well, just different. I feel very fornunate to have Celia at home still, to have started the Master Gardner Trainee program and to be teaching Sunday School. I'm glad I have the chance to teach the next generation even younger than my youngest about covenants and obedience and the pure love of Christ. I feel so happy it is February, on the brink of Spring for this area. I love to walk and feel the warmth of the sun on my back as I stop to smell the roses so to speak. I had a white scratch on my Audi from the carwash and I was able to watch a youtube video and remove it. It prepared me for new of more scratches to the black car. It'll be fine and it can be removed. Busy times and quiet times are to be appreciated since things change. Ive had fun going out to eat with my folks and helping them through the QR menu at the famous Nixtacos. Brian and I had a wonderful Saturday date to Zinfadel Grille that we had gone to ten years before. Brian and I went to Anastasia in Downtown Sacramento. It was a treat to go and see a play. They did a great job and I enjoyed the ballet part and acapella singing homeland, very much. There is much to be grateful for and I'm so excited to what htis year brings, especially the moments that can be turned to fond memories.
