Cheers

My sister-in-law Kennan sent me this quote in response to the email I sent out regarding our situation. It cheered me up immensely and I wanted to spread the cheer even more by posting it for all to read.

"No matter how serious the trial, how deep the distress, how great the affliction, God will never desert us. He never has, and He never will. He cannot do it. It is not in His character. He is an unchangeable being; the same yesterday, the same today, and He will be the same throughout the eternal ages to come. We have found that God. We have made Him our friend, obeying His gospel; and He will stand by us. We may pass through the fiery furnace; we may pass through deep waters but we shall not be consumed nor overwhelmed. We shall emerge from all these trials and difficulties the better and purer for them, if we only trust in our God and Keep His commandments." George Q. Cannon

The love and support from all of you has been like an ointment to my wound that's been festering with discontentment. Thank you.

On my Mind

Every year at this time I have a few things constantly on my mind and this is one of them: Love love love the Puyallup Fair. So many memories. Since I am clear over here on the East Coast I beg of those who can to please attend for me and blog your favorite things about the fair.
Love the fair food, especially the scones. Never, EVER leave without one. Couldn't find a picture but the taffy comes 2nd as my next favorite. I love it right off the machine, when the clip off a piece, wrap it, and hand it right to you still warm.Also love going through the pavilions and looking at the food arraignments and who won the blue ribbon. Love the Candle maker too, and the hypnotist show, OHH I cant forget to mention getting a free sample of milk and watching the cows getting the udders drained. Love how they started doing flavored milk. Surprisingly I really like the orange cream milk.

And you are never too old to get your face painted. Who doesn't want a butterfly painted on your cheek?
