Prompt

What makes you laugh? My best laughs come from an unexpected comment. The next best thing is recalling a good memory.

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had? I wish I had the ability to fly a plane and enough funds to afford the plane.

This weekend is going to be taken up by some spring cleaning and gearing up for my birthday month. On deck is laundry. Meal planning. Haircut and coloring my hair. I’m going to give myself some self-care in the form of exercise and weight training. I’m finally going to finish the book I started monthsContinue reading “Weekend plans”

Letter to an Elder Day

Elder means several things to me. I could write to any one of my ancestors. I could write to any one of the leaders of the church. I could write to any one of the thousands of male missionaries currently serving their missions (at least one of which is an extended family member). I thoughtContinue reading “Letter to an Elder Day”
