WALKER TALK: SISTER DAY

SISTER DAY

For the last few weeks my sisters and I have been getting together every Wednesday and crafting. It has been so fun to just be with them and share something that we love doing together. My mother and Suzanne join us when they can, but mostly it has just been Mary Jo, Jenny and I. The best part of it is when my parents get through working at the temple at around 11:15 they take us all to lunch. Then we go back and craft some more.

We just finished up our first project and I am taking them to the quilter's in a few days. I think they turned out so cute. We even did one for my mom and Suzi even though they couldn't join us every week. Aren't we the best?! I look forward to every Wednesday!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
