With the passing of our beloved prophet, President Hinckley, there is a grass roots kind of movement to do something in his honor. It's called the Hinckley challenge. Those willing to accept the challenge are trying to read the Book of Mormon in 97 days. One day for each year of President Hinckley's remarkable life. We have accepted the challenge and are on our way. If you want to participate check out the website. Brother Anderson has put a tremendous amount of effort into the site in a very short time. His hope was to have a million pages of the Book of Mormon read during the 97 days. So far 19,300 plus people have signed up.

Snowy Days


February 4, 2008. SNOWY DAYS. Cameron and Robin sit in a snow bank by the Jalomi ( formally known as the jalopy and before that the 1961 mercedes.)
We have been pounded by storms this January. I don't know how much snow, but it feels like New York. We had six inches this morning. This is Cameron walking home from school. This is the corner we live on. I went out last week and told the snow plow guy that if he keeps pushing snow onto my side walk I wont be able to keep it shoveled. His response was "I have to put it somewhere." Can't he put it SOMEWHERE else?


Robin got a snowboard for her birthday (Yes, her birthday is in the spring--it's early). Clark took her over to the school playground to try it out.

It looks warm, but it is only about 18 degrees. We had the coldest January on record.
