| I have been driving a 15 passenger van around for over 10 years. It's been a huge blessing and truly a necessary piece of my life, However, in the last few years, with boys out on missions and away at college and having a few other extra drivers around, I was regularly driving only 2 or 3 kids around at a time. I had been starting to think about getting a new car in a few years...in fact, I jokingly told Bill and the kids that I had started divorce papers with my van.., Well, dad got word of this desire, and started looking for a car for me. I had a few criteria (had to be a bit taller than a sedan, fit a cello and 3 kids) and a few quiet hopes (white and a Honda) and I could NOT believe what he found for me!!! Everything I wanted and more!! We drove it home after our week in California. |

 |
| Another homeschool day on our vacation.... The Dead Sea Scroll Exhibit and the Endeavor Exhibit downtown LA. We couldn't take pictures of the Dead Sea Scrolls, but there was a really cool feeling in the crowded room with writings of the Bible. Here was a tangible witness of the importance of God's word to other people in another time. |
 |
| I was unexpectedly "Awed" standing in the room with a man made vehicle that had been in space over 20 times. Truly incredible! |
 |
| The Los Angeles Temple |
 |
| Birds of Paradise Flowers were some of my grandma Iris's favorite flowers...a gift of her service as a missionary in Hawaii. |
 |
| This was the coolest tree on the Temple property. |
