Tawny's Homecoming Day at the Lotts

Today was a fun day. A wonderful family day. Tawny's report was awesome. She spoke with an great humility and power. You could tell by the way she talked and the things she said that she had a most rewarding mission. We are so proud to know her.

It takes no more time to see the good side of life than to see the bad.

Weekend at the CABIN

Brighton called on Wed or Thurs and said she did not have to work on the weekend. She wanted to invite some of her friends to go to the cabin. Ended up she only having two friends (Wendy and Haley) come but we had the rest of the family and even talked Jeff and Cara into joining us. Turn out to be a great over night. Thanks to Brighton and Cara for planning out the food. We had a great time visiting and riding the 4 wheelers.

Trip to IDAHO to visit Aunts and Uncles

Wednesday we (Mom, Dad, Marcia and I) departed to go to Idaho Falls to visit mom's family. We were very lucky as the relatives that live far away were close and could meet in one location. Dinner was prepared by my Aunt Karen and Uncle Paul. The first couple of pictures were taken after Dinner but I decided they were the most important pictures I took. Wish the lighting was better but I still think they turned out okay.

Socializing

After dinner and all the guests left Uncle Paul took us on a
tour of his farm. On the way back there was a cool
sunset. Pictures do not do it full justice.

Thought -- Albert Einstein

Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.

Albert Einstein

Thought

Sometimes the measure of friendship isn't your ability to not harm but your capacity to forgive the things done to you and ask forgiveness for your own mistakes.
