Cash Fowler..the little guy

I would do anything for that face. Love you CASH! The best grandson I have...

Parent Teacher Conference

This is about the funniest parent/conference parody I've seen. Parents like her get a reputation real fast in the faculty room .... Although I've conducted hundreds and hundreds of them with wonderful & caring folks, I have had a few zingers.... a few parents with outrageous claims and/or requests. Funny how some parents view their kids.

Sometimes... as soon as I meet the parents ... I have no more questions about the child's problems/behaviors.

I love when Mrs. Smith throws in the 504 Plan threat, and when she claims .... You make him learn too much. Oh, were it only so...

SANTA and the grandchildren

They have been very very good, Santa

A Social Network Christmas

David Archuleta w/ MoTab Choir for 2010 Christ...

David Archuleta

We had a WONDERFUL experience at the Christmas concert in Salt Lake Thursday night with the David Archuleta (uuhhh... and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir) .... Truly oustanding.

Christmas Stockings, Homemade

Paul McCartney

Together last year

This is the last time we were all together, in Salt Lake. Wish we could do it more often.

Jesus Christ

This is the reason for the season..........

We own this BEAUTIFUL painting by Simon Dewey.

My dad bought it for my husband 2 years ago.

It hangs, beautifully framed, in Gary's office.

It's my very favorite.

Photoshop ... Susan Boyle

Way, WAY Better that Oprah's Favorite Things...

During 4th period Friday I was taken by surprise. The Ogden City School Board President & Vice President came into my room to tell me I was chosen for the district's Empowering Excellence Through Education Award

BUT ... even better, and even more tear worthy, I got an "O Captain, My Captain" by two of my students standing on their desks! (thanks Alex and Mitchell).... and I'm not even a dead poet. Generally, the certificate says I'm doing a spiffy job... but more powerfully, my students tell my heart everyday...

HUGS to all my students, you're all too wonderful!

Eric Call

Wow.. isn't my nephew a doll? Hummm... not married, at BYU, returned missionary, really smart, comes from a great family mine. If you know my brother Dayton, this is his youngest son. He's done everything right.

Just sayin'

Don't like to be negative, but let it be said:
GREAT LADY ...... Scumbag Husband ....
R.I.P.

STIFF a great book

Oh MY GOSH! I love this book... I can't wait to read it every night....

This is the introduction to the book: (Got me hooked)

The way I see it, being dead is not terribly far off from being on a cruise ship. Most of your time is spent lying on your back. The brain has shut down. The flesh begins to soften. Nothing much new happens, and nothing is expected of you.

If I were to take a cruise, I would prefer that it be one of those research cruises, where the passengers, while still spending much of the day lying on their backs with blank minds, also get to help out with a scientist's research project. These cruises take their passengers to unknown, unimagined places. They give them the chance to do things they would not otherwise get to do.

Death. It doesn't have to be boring.

Life's better with friends

These are some great lady-friends of mine... nearby neighbors and ward buddies: Heather (l) was my gynecologist ... Tiffany, (blue) is a speech therapist, and Heather (r) is an ER physician.

I know where to go when I'm in trouble.

Christmas Sparkle

This is a picture taken 5 years ago. LOVED it when they used to be able to just come up for a visit. Melissa and Kami frosting Christmas cookies.

The tree is done....

And the banister, too....

On my Bucket List....Visit Machu Picchu..Peru

Elder Jordan Christensen our former lawn boy is serving a mission in Peru... these sights are in his mission....

In the 15th century, the Incan Emperor Pachacútec built a city in the clouds on the mountain known as Machu Picchu ("old mountain"). This extraordinary settlement lies halfway up the Andes Plateau, deep in the Amazon jungle and above the Urubamba River. It was probably abandoned by the Incas because of a smallpox outbreak and, after the Spanish defeated the Incan Empire, the city remained 'lost' for over three centuries.

Glinda, the Good Witch

This is my Macy.. Charmingly WICKED

Kami Getting Ready to be Baptized

What I like best about this picture, besides my beautiful granddaughter Kami, is that she is wearing the white dress I bought in San Francisco for Melissa. Melissa was baptised in this dress on Easter Sunday in 1986.

Halloween Sugar Cookies

Trick or Treat

Getting Ready for Halloween

My grandchildren...

Macy Cash Kami

and the pumpkins.

Karen Burgon & her girls....

Karen Burgon (in the middle) and her daughters.... I have taken so many family group photos this summer, more than ever.... it has been fun, and a nice little money maker for my 'hobby on the side'. Karen and I were at the Relief Society Book Club tonight together, GREAT FUN... and she's my Visiting Teacher... She takes care of me...what more could a person want? We're buds for life.

Kirby Heyborne and Tate Daniels..both STARS

Elder Tate Daniels is HOME... What an outstanding fellow he is....

Our ward has the BEST youth parties.. we even get a Kirby.

LDS Relief Society Sisters in Africa

My friend, Dawn Kurowski Russell, and her husband are in Ghana on a mission. She sent me this picture of a Relief Society homemaking night at her humble home. Look at those bundt cakes!

A Stunner

Hey, they can read...

The Fowler Family has a wonderful garden.. the only one in the neighborhood. Macy has a pepper.

Gosh she's pretty....



This is the wife of the father of the children of the corn.

All about Kami

My beautiful granddaughter, Kami, will be baptized in a few months. I brought out her mother's white baptismal dress she wore in 1986. It fits.. a very stylish Polly Finders so 80s. I bought it at the outlet in San Francisco.

Our Trip to the Mighty Mississippi River

The Big Muddy

What is this little river creature?

Who are these river creatures?
Father of the children of the corn.

Opening presents

I bought Steve a present, too. Doesn't he look just like Edward of Twilight?

This fish was a HIT! But after a while, the little song drove us CRAZY... I noticed it was hidden by an unnamed person more than it was available...

Macy really likes these fanciful, fun, but borderline skanky dresses I buy her.

Grandpa and the girls

We visited recently in Minnesota.. and the girls were all over Grandpa.

Rebecca ... Pocahontas

My brother Dayton's daughter, Rebecca... can't see her front view, but she's really beautiful--- trust me, and so is Champlin Creek that runs through my folks' ranch. Love these wonderful canoe rides we've all taken. Lots of beaver, otter, blue herons, white egrets, occasionally an eagle, and once.. a mountain lion. but mostly, just frogs and small fish.

Rebeca Call, my niece

Wow.. my niece is dripping with good looks... and sweetness, and she's unmarried... and 23... how could that be? Dayton's youngest daughter.

My Crosby English Saddle

I bought a Crosby English saddle. I've ridden more English style than western, thanks to Mom, who sent me to a riding school when I lived in Fresno. I loved the dressage, black velvet helmet, jauphers, crop, spurs... and then posting with a ramrod straight back, then jumping over the rails.... there's nothing like it. I felt like Caroline Kennedy sittin' all tall & proud in the saddle .... I have a bridle, too, so now all I need is the horseflesh. Giddy-up...

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Macy owns kindergarten & Kami rules 2nd grade.

My Ancestors all Lined Up....

Those who've been to my house have seen this...

The top one is the father to son line of my father's line, beginning with Cyril Call, born in 1875 in Vermont.

The bottom one is of my maternal line, beginning with Eliza Tunks Parry, born in 1823, in England.

Around the House Pics

It was so beautiful after the rain, I opened the front door and took a picture.

The Deck is Done...

We had our deck replaced... it was warped and wouldn't stand up to another Utah winter... It turned out great... now I can put out my bird feeders again. They've been starving ....I think they forgot how to feed themselves.

Fire on the Mountain Boys... Run Boys, Run...

Massive fire in the Salt Lake Valley... Here is an eerily beautiful photograph of the fire advancing on the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. It is still 'out of control' as of tonight
