Lisa's Graduation

This is June 2, 2009. We had a hailstorm you wouldn't believe. It shredded all my plants and wrecked havoc in my garden. This little pile of hail was still pretty much in tact the next day when I got home from school. It was pouring out of the down spout so fast that it just piled up like a little snowman. Smithfield has seen an unusual amount of rain and hail this spring (summer?).


Lisa Michelle Petersen Daines has graduated from Weber State with her RN. She passed her board exams and is a full fledged nurse. Congratulations Lisa, we are very proud of you.

Marci was with us to help celebrate.

I would be smiling too, if I was all finished.

I don't know why I can't get my captions to be anywhere near the picture it is supposed to go with. I will try to figure that out. Meanwhile I'm not sure everything is where I want it to be.

Okay, what a slug I am. I haven't written anything on my blog for 3 months. I used to write and read blogs every Sunday after church. We switched times and you would think I have more time, but for some reason I don't ever sit down at the computer on Sunday anymore.

I think another reason is that I don't have any pictures to put on. Well I have pictures I just don't know how to get them off the camera onto my blog.

A lot has happened in the last 3 months. Lisa graduated, Crystal, Dallas, Cole, Nikki, Dave and I have all had a birthday. School is out. Lisa and Dallas moved to Conshohoken, Paige had 4 puppies, I had 32 sunspots burned off my face, we have had torrential rain, we just put up our new pergola (like a gazebo) yesterday and it has rained so hard today I'm worried that we are only going to have it one day before it is ruined. Did I mention school is out?

I have blisters all over my face and I'm not leaving the house for two weeks, because I don't want to scare anyone. So I should have time to figure out the photo download thing and put a few interesting pictures on the blog.
