Updates and recipe


Its been an amazing past few weeks. We've welcomed Berlin...Erinn, Felicity & Gracey came for a visit. Being RS pres. has filled my life with opportunites to get to know and serve others. There is comfort in this routine. A few weeks ago a sister (Jody) in ward passed away--it was sudden and so unexpected...she was young and has a 12yo son (Lucas). Those difficult times seems to bring out the best in people. So many offered to serve this family--I feel honored to know such good people. A friend of mine said, "It's too bad Jody didn't know how much she was loved in the ward." I have thought about that often these last few weeks. We all have family, friends and neighbors. I hope I will always be mindful in the ways I show them that I love and care for them...that they matter to me. I'm thankful for my family-I love them-I respect them-I pray for them.

We served luncheon for the family...here is the recipe we used. I think our Whitney will like this. We served it with loaded mashed potatoes.
So easy-and everyone really like it.

4 chicken breast- season w/ salt& pepper and garlic powder (dried ranch mix would be good too)
1 can cr. of chix soup mixed w/ 1/2c milk (pour over chicken)
Sprinkle 1-2C of seasoned (we used herbed) stuffing mix
Pour 1/2 cube of melted butter over stuffing.
Bake 350 about 1 hr.

Jeanine & Barrett have added to our joy by...giving us another grandbaby! This little angel is tiny, but perfect. 5 lb. 8 oz. 18" long. We love the dimple in her right cheek and her cute little "May" chin! Pictures to follow-

Christmas 2008


Our long awaited Christmas holiday--came and went far too quickly, but we're so grateful we were all able to be together. We laughed, cried, played in the snow, and gave lots of kisses to Gracey.

Life is good!

I've been waiting to blog, hoping I'd get it together and take some pics.Those who know me, may know that is not my strong point! However, life is good, and a small gratitude list is always appropriate:
* Steve & I enjoy good health and the love of our children
* We love,adore,and respect our children-they are amazing people
* Our children love each other...
* We live in a neighborhood of great people
* Steve has a job-that's satisfying- and it enables us to spend more time together
* We have "2" grandbabies on the way :)
* We appreciate the opportunites given us to serve our church family
* And...All my children are coming home for Christmas!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

A long story...

I lost my cell phone...
then it was miraculously found...
However, I didn't save my contacts to the sim card...and now I have to replace my damaged phone.

Good news--I have the same phone number
Bad new--I lost business contact numbers
BUMMER!

SO...if you'd email me your phone numbers that would be great. onlyjeri@aim.com
