Kids really do say the darnedest things!

We had the chance to spend some rehab time with Taylor and Easton yesterday. We went to the "little Dinosaur Museum" at BYU(as Taylor calls it). Easton called it the "tiny dinosaur museum". As we pulled up and parked in the handicap parking place, I pulled out the temporary parking pass. Taylor asked me "Gramma, why are you hanging a bathroom sign in your car window?" I laughed and laughed when I realized that the only place he had seen that insignia is on the signs for bathrooms! I told him that it meant that people who had a hard time walking could park in special places.

The Lines Are Drawn.......

and we are separated from all the rest of our ward. A familiar feeling as it has happened before. The news came down at stake conference this morning. Larry was released last Sunday and so we knew that we wouldn't be with the east side of our ward anymore( with a lot of confidence). However, we didn't expect to be separated from everyone west of us also. Yup, that's right . Out of all the plans we had thought of that one didn't even enter our radar. So there are 10 homes from our old ward that have been put into this already well established ward. They lost about 30 homes. But still have alot of people. I know that it was inspiration(in fact it was signed off by President Hinckley) and so we will make the best of it, as we will probably be in this ward for many years to come. I hope that we are better about retaining friendships than we were with the last boundary change. It seems that once those lines are drawn, you become so involved in your new ward that you lose the connections that you have. That is something I will have to work on. I think that we are much more open to inviting people over to spend time together now than we were then. And we have some great friends in the neighborhood. So onward and upward!We will grow together.
