we had a loss today:(

Dad was doing wash this morning and funny noises were coming from the washroom. I came downstairs about the same time and heard the noise also. I stopped the washer and could smell something burning. The washer never came on again. It will be missed.....we have had it since 1991!! The funeral is Friday when it will be taken to that great place where washers go. Just thought you guys would want to know since you were all close to it and were a vital part of it's life.

I LOVED Pres. Monson's talk this morning!!!

If you missed Pres. Monson's talk this morning go read it. It was so awesome and timely. If I only had 25 words to say to each of you it would be something like he said....Live life to its fullest every day and give those you love the most the best of you. Don't pile up tomorrows...all you will have left is a bunch of empty yesterdays......so good. Check it out. Te Amo
