 <title><![CDATA[ Day 2 of trip to Tara's]]></title>
 <link>http://elena.gednet.com/?itemid=7802</link>
<description><![CDATA[I slept way in this morning, knowing that Tara would be doing that as well.  She got up in time to do her four hour shift at the temple.  I stayed home and worked in the garden a little.  I cleaned out three areas of strawberries that she wanted pulled out, ready to manure the patches tomorrow, (I planted two of the patches last May when I was here) and plans to replant them with new strawberries. Has 50 plants on order.  Also found some moss to take home and redo the teriarium ( can't spell that word properly) that Tabers gave me and isn't doing so well. I let the chickens out and they kept me company.  I plan to prepare mega vegetables for juicing, this afternoon. Will be interesting to do it in the bathroom.<br />
<br />
Two before pictures.  Will post the after pictures if we get them planted:<br />

 <title><![CDATA[ Day one of visit to Tara's]]></title>
 <link>http://elena.gednet.com/?itemid=7801</link>
<description><![CDATA[Arrived in Seattle in a snowstorm swirling around the airport.  It was sunny when Tara and Ed left to pick me up--snowing at the airport and sunny again at home.  I guess it just snowed at the airport.  Anything to make air travel interesting.  I had a trip with no adventures other than flying to Denver, changing planes and then flying to Seattle.  Longer trip that way.  That evening,  I watched three episodes of "The House of Elliot" on my computer--a first for me but it works.  This was the first time that I realized that the series originated with Eileen Atkins and Jean Marsh.  (Upstairs, Downstairs).  Those gals are good.  I wonder what else they have thought up.  Will have to do some research on that. It is a challenge to live without a working kitchen.  Glad that it will soon be over for them.]]></description>

 <title><![CDATA[(1) I've been scrapbooking.]]></title>
 <link>http://elena.gednet.com/?itemid=7800</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a lot of pictures that have never been put into an album or scrapbook.  Several years ago I sorted a bunch of them.  Last summer I put them into plastic sleeves with the magazine pictures I use for scrapbooking.  This winter (my scrapbooking partner finally returned home from Canada) I am organizing the pages and assembling them when I scrapbook with Callie on Thursdays.  They have evolved some since I first started scrapbooking so I am going to post some of the latest ones.  <br />

 <title><![CDATA[(1) 100th Birthday Celebration]]></title>
 <link>http://elena.gednet.com/?itemid=7790</link>
<description><![CDATA[Last night we celebrated  my father's (Ross Allen Bodily) one hundredth birthday with a party at our house.  We invited all of his descendants who live in the area and then the whole family, not expecting them to actually come.  Merlyn tried but couldn't get the right flights at the last minute. We missed him.  Those who did come included Elena and Wayne; Kirk, Kathy, Julia and Jon; Rob, Tina, Kayla, Ari, Abby and Garret; Erin; and Mandy.  After a chili supper we all sat down to listen for a little while, words about him and by him.   Earlier in the day, Pam Mayes was here for a chess tutorial from Wayne and asked what was music I was playing (a CD of Rob and Ross and then of Rob, Tina, Kimberly and Stephen, and even of Dad himself---singing his songs).  She knew about the party and said that with music Dad would probably come.  I hadn't thought about him coming, and then, alas, even forgot to play the music, but his spirit was definitely there.  Kirk read a college english paper that Tory had written in 1998 entitled "My Grandpa," and, as Kirk said, makes one teary to read it. (I put it on the Bodily blog--bodily.blogcadia.com--ask me or LouAnn for the password) Erin read a poem about Grandpa written by Alayna, and Rob read one of Dad's stories, "Ned Baden's Dare"--the one that won for him a yearbook. We chatted about him and then sang "Happy Birthday" and ate cake.  Then played the name game because all birthday parties should have games. It was a nice evening, good company, and good recollections about a man whose genes all us carry within us. Those genes show up generations later even when the bearer of them does not know it.  One thing that come out of the evening was this advise:  Ask questions about your ancestors while the people who would know the answers are still around and able to answer them. Last night the hearts of the children were turned to their fathers.<br />

<description><![CDATA[Time to do a little catching up. <br />
<br />
 Garret Robert Mihu was blessed at his home a week ago.  I took a bunch of pictures after Tina said I could post them and they all turned out blurry.  Continued to be blurry until Randy or Aaron fixed the camera when they were over.  So, here is a headless one but at least sort of clear, and you can see the outfit we stayed up late the night before making---Tina, Laurene and I.<br />

We were pleased when Donna, Randy and children stopped by for a brief visit along with Aaron Carmack, who took this photo.       <br />

We opened our gifts to each other last night. Several have asked what I received so here goes.  Wayne had fun looking through a Tuscanos Catalog and ordered a small statue of a cherub sleeping.  It goes on a shelf with an arm and a wing hanging over.  He also ordered a vintage looking necklace and earrings--very pretty.  I may have to buy something blue to wear with them.  Also, a lovely manicure set--four-sided file, cuticle oil, cutter, and lotion.  Three CDs of his making, AND a cordless mouse with no attachment to stick out of my computer! I think that the mouse is my favorite.<br />

 <title><![CDATA[(2) Soda Cracker Candy]]></title>
 <link>http://elena.gednet.com/?itemid=7750</link>
<description><![CDATA[I found this recipe in the newspaper and decided to try it.  It turned out surprisingly good--something about the salt and crunchiness and the chocolate. It took about ten minutes to make.  Then it has to chill to set the chocolate.<br />
<br />
                                                  Soda Cracker Candy<br />
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and oil it with salad oil.  Cover it with soda crackers.  Boil one cup of butter and one cup of brown sugar for two minutes.  Pour over the crackers--spread with a spatula if necessary.  Cover them all. Bake in preheated 350 oven for five minutes.  Take out and sprinkle semi sweet chocolate chips over it.  Put back into the oven to melt the chips.  Take out and spread with a spatula.  Add finely chopped nuts (if desired) while still hot.  Chill in refrigerator.  Break into cracker squares. Enjoy]]></description>
