I was inspired! She told me how easy it was to can the carrots. She and Allen got Lee and I a juicer for Christmas. So I went out and bought a 25 lb. bag of carrots to juice and to can. Today I noticed that there were some spots on the carrots, and yes, I needed to get them done. We had been enjoying the carrot juice, now it was time to can them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I washed carrots. I cut off the ends, put them in jars with a little salt and filled them with water. Then I started the water bath and checked online to see how long they needed to be on.

I lived there in 1979-1981 with my first husband, Steve. I tried to remember an address, but because we moved seven times (I can't remember if there was an eighth time) none of the addresses really stuck in my long term memory. I brought up google maps with Lee, and tried to figure out where we lived. My memory did not provide the information. When we got there, the town looked totally different (after all, it has been 30 years!) and I thought if we had time maybe we would drive downtown and see if the music store was still there. On Sunday, the chapel felt familiar, but since the chapels are built with the same pattern and I've been in a lot of them, I didn't think anything about it. As we were leaving, we drove around the church to the back, and I saw a house that looked familiar. I said, Lee, stop! (or as Lee said, I said: LEE! STOP!) Yes, it was the house that we lived in when Dan was born. The house Steven and Danny had chicken pox in. Once I had that as a reference point, we found three other places we'd lived in before we had to move on. </div><div style="text-align: left;">One of these days, when I can spend more time, it would be fun to look around a lot more. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here is the house:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/TIWEq5oVroI/AAAAAAAAAkQ/RXVum4mKx7Y/s320/IMG_3191.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513959191344426626" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">So what this means, Emma was blessed in the same chapel that Dan Henry was blessed in.

They were called the twin valleys, and both had waterfalls, a river running through it, wildlife, and massive granite walls. After the 1906 massive earthquake in San Francisco, many fires to broke out. These fires destroyed a lot of the city. After it was all over, San Francisco blamed lack of water resources for not being able to control the fires. They lobbied Congress to dam Hetch Hetchy for their water use. It took several years, with environmentalists screaming, but they won. The second valley was dammed, and we now have Hetch Hetchy reservoir. The water is so pure it does not have to be filtered. No human contact allowed! So this valley is for the enjoyment of San Francisco. </span></span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-1.0in;line-height:15.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:47.0pt 1.0in;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#262626;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-1.0in;line-height:15.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:47.0pt 1.0in;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, serif;color:#262626;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: normal; font-size: 16px; "><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/TAwdgW56l2I/AAAAAAAAARc/UZF-efxefRM/s1600/IMG_9291.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/TAwdgW56l2I/AAAAAAAAARc/UZF-efxefRM/s320/IMG_9291.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479787288344565602" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></span></span></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Henry-Bettilyonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07443782882675191388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166502334704380691.post-32872882411613690982010-06-06T15:05:00.001-07:002010-06-06T15:11:08.581-07:00Visiting Grandpa Bob<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/TAwc33COVKI/AAAAAAAAARM/g4NK0vNbykk/s1600/IMG_9300.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/TAwc33COVKI/AAAAAAAAARM/g4NK0vNbykk/s320/IMG_9300.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479786592594711714" /></a><br />We got to stop on the way up to Matt's and see Grandpa Bob.

I love looking at everyone else's posts on their blogs, but have not kept up mine. So I will repent, and try to do better. So much has happened!<div><br /></div><div>In December, David went into the MTC. He arrived in Alabama in January. I thought I would post a few pictures of him.......because it makes me happy that he is serving.</div><div><br /></div><div>David had to attach a picture of himself when he submitted his papers. We had a lot of difficulty with this, because he didn't want to cut his hair, so he decided to submit his papers without a picture. The bishop added his comments, then asked where the picture was? David no longer had access to the site, because now the bishop has added his information.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh wait, first David had to cut his hair and get his picture taken. He didn't trust mom, so he went over to Dan's house and asked him to cut it, oh and would Ashley take his picture? Ashley wisely took a picture of David before. Dan cut his hair, styled it, had David put on a snazzy suit of his, and Ashley took his picture. She said she should have put up a before and after picture on her blog, because the difference was so striking and she would have gotten a lot of business off of it. I don't have her before picture, but I have one taken not too long ago. You be the judge:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/S29hN9GvBYI/AAAAAAAAALE/hdhnK4wGDUc/s1600-h/IMG_6919.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/S29hN9GvBYI/AAAAAAAAALE/hdhnK4wGDUc/s320/IMG_6919.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435670167628481922" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/S29hOEfT6EI/AAAAAAAAALM/QimfvfkDNpE/s1600-h/002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/S29hOEfT6EI/AAAAAAAAALM/QimfvfkDNpE/s320/002.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435670169610610754" /></a>(by the way, the green behind david is the wall in Ashley's house. Isn't she stylin? Sigh, I don't have her talents)<div><br /></div><div>So, we sent the picture to the bishop via email. It was too large for him to attach, so we formatted it and sent it again.....and again......finally, Steven had to get on board to help with the technical issues to get his papers sent on. It delayed his mission call by about 5 weeks, because we had to work around the bishop and the stake president's travel schedules. (let this be a lesson to small bears, do it right the first time!)<div><br /></div><div>But it got done, and David is on his way!</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a picture of Mom and David the day he went into the MTC at the W....</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/S29jsdn_jzI/AAAAAAAAALU/ELpnXG-DmOE/s1600-h/IMG_8665.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_J-AyEX6m-YE/S29jsdn_jzI/AAAAAAAAALU/ELpnXG-DmOE/s320/IMG_8665.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5435672890777243442" /></a>Yes, it was a little strained. </div><div><br /></div><div>And here is a picture of David at the MTC.
