Events of the day

It has been a good day. I had an interview for a new job (no kidding--I've never heard of anyone interviewing for an OLD job) and it was ok. I came home and put a huge stack of magazines in the pile to go to the trash compacter. We don't have garbage service here, we take our trash to the compacter station and there is a small recycling station there as well. I also pulled about 50 books to give away. Then the missionaries came over and we worked on my yard. They are so cute--I just love them. We decided that the next presidential team should be Barack & Mitt-- a little something for everyone! After they left, I was putting away my lawnmower & other paraphernalia, when I spied a box of videos. So I started going through them....pulling the R rated ones. Which was pretty much half of that box. So the next time the trash compacter place is open I have quite a little load to take over there. If you are thinking there seems to be no rhyme or reason to my housekeeping/yardkeeping efforts--you're absolutely right!! Which is why I have such a hard time keeping up with things around here. Focus?? What's that? Now what was I talking about? Are you getting a good visual? Welcome to the fascinating workings of my brain :-) It is amazing I have survived this long!

One corner of my living room is looking mighty spiffy now, and my yard looks pretty good as well. I need to email Barack and let him know what the young elders & I have decided.

updated Anthony



This is my oldest grandchild....with his younger sister, Alyssa, who is my second oldest grand daughter. He is with a friend in the middle pic & he is on "my" beach in the top pic. He's grown up quite a bit from that day in 1993! Isn't he handsome?

Four generations


This is a picture taken when my mother was visiting my family in Richland in 1993. She passed away before any more of my grandchildren were born. Just for the record this is a photo of my mother, Janet Cralle' Harrison Robinson (her name at the time), me Brenda Cralle' Harrison Somdahl (my name at the time), my oldest daughter Jenna Cralle' Henderson Harris (her name at the time), and Anthony James Harris (which continues to be his name to this day).
Hmmmm, one might think that the women in my family have a few aliases.......but that could potentially be a topic of yet another post on another day. A very slow news day.
By the way, can you believe what a chunk Anthony is? I will find a recent photo of him that I "lifted" from his MySpace page.

Really, it's in the mail, no really

The package is in the mail! I am so proud of myself! Actually, I also sent off Hope's birthday present, and a book to my friend Sharon in Seattle. Chatted with a couple of friends. It is only 8:00 (thereabouts) and I am sleepy. So good night ...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
