I Lived My Mom's Dream

Dad loved going to BYU football games and frequently dragged Mom along. It all started in 1965 when Karen was the "Big Time Twirling Star" with the marching band. (She can post her comments as to the official title if she wants.) Dad would watch the games with intensity and Mom would patiently sit in the stands knitting something while the game happened around her. About midway through the game, lots of people got up and went different places while mom put down her knitting to enjoy the Halftime show. At the end of the show, she would pick up her knitting and continue while everyone else cheered the football game. This procedure continued long past Karen's twirling and graduation and raising 5 kids. Dad would watch the football game and mom would knit.

Well if justice were ever to be served and Mom were to live her dream, it would have happened last night in Sam Boyd Stadium where UNLV plays their home football games. Starting at 1:00 pm and continuing until 8:30, high school marching band after high school marching band from Clark County Nevada performed their halftime show. They didn't even have a football game break out between groups. Mom would have loved it.

Vicki, Spencer and I watched the show from 6:30 to 8:30. Ben Performed in the last group. I still have enough Dad in me that I missed the football game, but the show was nice.

Thanks for the prayers

I met a couple coming around drumming up support for McCain on the Sunday before the elections. The had moved in from California. Very nice couple and I mentioned to them that our church members we were fasting and praying that their California Friends would Vote to protect Marriage. They responded, I'm not feeling so hungry either. I think I'll fast tomorrow.

Isa. 5: 20
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which the wicked for reward, and away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Anemia?

I remember Nana once saying that a craving to chew on ice was a sign of anemia. Well, we better have some blood work done on Toasty. He must eat 10-15 ice cubes a day.
