Week 37

21 April

I am thrilled that the pansies I planted in the fall survived into our cool spring. In my Beehive years I selected the pansy for my personal symbol because it was hardy, colorful, and cheerful (or, as the Beehive handbook itself indicates, because it represents thoughtfulness and loyalty).

22 April

Lynette and I are calling it quits—we are ready to burn the CDs for our family project on our paternal grandparents, their posterity, and their ancestors.

23 April

Ah, this is worth noting—a clean, dirt-free street after several months of seeing a wet, frozen pile of dirt in the street by our home.

24 April

Since I will be gone for several weeks this summer, the bishop let me call another counselor. Here is my new presidency with the addition of Mindy.

25 April

The neighbors behind us are building a fence to match the rest of our backyard. That will look terrific when it is done.

26 April

Shh—I’m cheating and using a picture from tomorrow. I was very impressed with Michael’s mural in the auxiliary building at the Denver Temple. The creative swirls are very tastefully done.

27 April

Marcus, Kaleb, Rebecca, Camden, and Meagan (with a new short haircut!) are each busy doing his or her own thing.
