 THE BUNNY AND THE LAMB CHRIST GAVE US A WAY TO UNITE WITH THOSE WE LOVE IN ULTIMATE HAPPINESS IN THE PRESENCE OF HEAVENLY FATHER. Christ made us eternal, as he is. He made our hope, our joy, our testimonies, our lives,and our families eternal through His greatest work of all. This greatest work, the greatest event in the history of the world - the Atonement and Resurrection of Jesus Christ- are what Christians commemorate at Easter.  And yet, there is still the anticipation of Easter Baskets full of Chocolate and Marshmallow Bunnies, colored eggs, jelly beans, candy eggs, toys, and any number of other goodies we could come  up with.  At Easter time, when we have a day set apart to celebrate the greatest act of  all, how important is it to turn from the Bunny to praise the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." ( John 1:29).  How important is it to go to church any time of the year to partake of the bread and water, an ordinance replacing the...

FAMILY FUN WHILE WORKI NG Welcome to our day of fun as we laugh and play see who can earn the Number One Worker of the day. Take note of the different kinds of work we are doing, who the workers are, who are the most happy, who is most helpful to others.  Then ask for your assignment from me or Grandpa or Grandma Royer Here comes May Lynn to help Peggy and Bruce.  They look like they mean business.  May Lynn even let me wear her mascot white and blue kitty (I think it is), to help me direct some of the fun. Getting started. Peggy, Bruce, & MayLynn begin the huge job of laying the protective plastic.  They sure look like they know what they are doing.  Lets ask. "Excuse us, please.  Exactly what are you doing with this big sheet of plastic?"  "We are cutting the plastic to fit on top of the Grow Boxes to protect the plants so they can grow well." Replies Peggy.  "It is really fun!" calls MayLynn.  Not a word is heard from Bruce's spot....

What a day, what a day to find treasures right here in our beautiful Brigham City Park where reflections are like portraits for posterity.  Here I am, Grandma Christensen, remembering how my sweet husband and I used to enjoy our walks in this very park after we moved here so many years ago.   Sometimes we came fishing here and enjoyed it so much because of its beauty.  Somehow that peaceful green and blue of the trees and water made up for any fish we didn't catch. We brought with us the three children we already had-Wendy, Debby, and Cindy. Julie and Peggy were born right here in the old Cooly Hospital.  It is still here, only it has another name now as an apartment house.  Some of our Family Mark and Kami Dupree rented there while waiting to find a permanent home.   Just look at those reflections and the water squirting from a faucet to keep that area sure of clean water. The little house is used for storage and shelter.   And where could y...

GRANDMA CHRISTENSEN loves her Asparagus garden.  But it does take extra care.  Lots of water - like 15 minutes every day, let them grow 4 years before starting to cut them, when you do start make sure they are at least 5 inches tall at the first cutting.  Watch carefully each day for those that finish maturing over night.  However be sure every one you cut is tall enough.  Keep them fresh in the refrigerator until you have enough for a serving.  Then cook them according to your favorite recipe.          I like to grow them in a Grow Box. It is much easier that way.  Just remember to use enough of the best soil you can get.  Keep them watered well, however not overdone.   Tip: If  you live near a stream of nice clean water you can harvest them there if it is public property.  We did that when there was a clean stream coming down the mountain.   Enjoy These are very special pictures provide...

  She and Julie are enjoying this journey together.  Rosalie Christensen - acting guardian of this section of different kinds of flowers and trees.  I don't see Julie and Monte coming.  I guess we had better move on.  I'm sure we will find them on the way.  We will pass right by our house. So we will stop to see some fun things there.  By the way, do you love my outfit?  I think it was made for days like this.  And how about my "Wheels?"  Pretty cool don't you think? Our neighbors on the east corner of our block planted this beautiful yellow tree.  It is a wonderful sight in the spring time, then turns all green for the summer and then looses its leaves in late Fall.  What a versatile tree this is.   This tree is a very old one.  Grandpa and I planted it when we decided the front of our house needed some shade, and it surely worked well. It is a Red Maple that produces little seed pods that are like like little h...
