Monday Stuff !!

Memorial Day weekend will be upon us before I know it. Your saying to yourself, It's two months away, what are you stressing about. I stress because it's my job to do the family newsletter. Above is Aunt Terri and her daughter Kassi at last years reunion. Kassi is reading my first issue of "The Early News".
This is Uncle Danny, with his granddaughter Jaci. Last year most of the news came in about a day before the reunion. You would think in this day of electronic communication, getting the members of your family to send family updates would be easy. It isn't.

This is my cousin Jerry with his two daughters. Beautiful girls, I wish I knew what their names are??? Maybe I'll make that a trivia question in this years news letter. Who are these girls?? I guess if I kept in better touch with my Cousin Jerry I would know these things. Thus the purpose of a family reunion and a newsletter.
This is my dear cousin Denise (Aunt Denise, to my children) with her beautiful baby Grandson. He'll be toddling around this year. Denise's family is in charge of the whole reunion this year. Which apparently includes nagging me about the news letter. I know the reunion is going to be terrific, she has a huge imagination and lots of creativity. I'll try to have an imaginative and creative newsletter. Thus, I will stress about it. I'm sure I'll eventually have some news to put into it. One cousin said she's been sending me stuff all year ??? Funny I've never seen any of it. It's out in cyberspace some where. I have a feeling I will be up all night printing it out again this year. Sigh..........Thank goodness "Dancing With The Stars" is on tonight, I can take a break from all my newsletter stress.
Conference was wonderful over the weekend. It's always wonderful to see a new servant of the Lord called to the Qorum of the Twelve. Congratulations Elder Anderson. I noticed a lot of emphasis on Faith in this conference. I will have Faith that I will have lots of pictures and news to put in the family newsletter
