Stinky Blogger

I'm a stinky blogger these days.  Using only the few pictures that I have taken lately, I thought that I would do a quick recap on the last month or so.

#1.  Matt and I finally put up family pictures that we had taken last July.


#2. I've been substitute teaching again this year,and really like it when I get jobs in middle and high schools.  That's my favorite.  Here's a pic of me in a 7th grade science room with a view of a gorgeous autumn morning.




#3.  A dear lady that I visit teach, Vi Huber, painted a picture of the shoes of a leprosy patient in India.  She used the photograph that I had taken.  I love it!  It is a treasured gift.



#4.  My birthday came.  And this is what I got that morning.  Ugh.


#5.  But this is what I really got for my birthday.  Thanks Natalie!


#6.  No pictures of my beautiful grey cashmere sweater from my thoughtful husband, but this little machine made its way into our home right around my birthday too.  Everyone in the fam is happy to have this gem.


#7.  I got a new calling as the 1st counselor in the Relief Society presidency and I'm over the extra RS meetings.  I got this calling right before our RS Christmas dinner.  The theme was Christmas Around the World.  I was asked to decorate a table and of course I chose India.  I decided to decorate with photographs of women we had taken pictures of when we were there.  I used my tapestry and that of a friend's that we both bought when there.  Simplicity=India.


#8. We bought a live tree this year for Christmas.  It was soooo cold the day we went out to get it.  It was a quick decision.  Emma chose a beautiful, short tree that was snow covered.  I wish that I had snapped a pic of it before the snow was shaken off and laid down to have its trunk cut.  



#9.  Speaking of snow... After our run in the fresh snow, Matt braved the bitter cold some more to shovel our big driveway and then help a neighbor do hers.



That's all I have folks!  Maybe I will be better at posting from now on.  Or maybe not.
