After 2 weeks of rain, we finally got some sunshine this week. Today it got up to 70 degrees. It does wonders for the soul. We have been taking advantage of it. We took Shane down to the church parking lot to practice riding his bike. Miyah had a blast in the sandbox- with no jacket! The valley is beautiful right now. The mustard is coming up in the vineyards. There are miles of yellow flowers contrasted with the new green after all the rain. I wish we had time to just sit and take pictures and picnic. Actually we have been quite busy. We had the annual crab feed on the 19th of January. I was one of those in charge, as it was a fundraiser for the young men and young women of the branch. It went well and we made enough to send all the kids to camp this summer. We invited Michelle and Stephanie, our next door neighbors to come as guests. Stephanie babysits our kids. They had fun. That same day, we met up with Mary and Lynsey, some friends from Idaho. Lynsey graduate nursing school with me. She and her husband live in Georgia. Mary worked at EIRMC with me for 3-4 years. She currently lives in San Francisco. Small world.
