On facebook

Okay so I joined the world of facebook recently. It has been great. I have been able to talk to friends that I haven't seen in years. I know some of you think this is a teenager site but lots of old people like me are on it. It has been really fun. So if you are a member add me as a friend. I am under Gayle Mansell Willardson

Pantry food storage recipes

I am looking for recipes that can be made from canned items that I can buy and put in my food storage rotation. We have had a huge emphisis on food storage and my stake RS president suggested that we get 15 or more recipes that your family likes. These recipes need to be made from items that you can store. So if any of you have a favorite or two let me know. Maybe we can do a section on the recipe blog for using food storage. What do you think?

Karlyen is their teacher and we think she is great. Notice all the trophies and awards for a great job done.

My grand baby waving hello!

Is this not the cutest ultrasound? Kristy and Chris are only 11 weeks along and this baby is already excited to meet everyone! Her or his grandma and grandpa can hardly wait to meet him or her too!

Driving miss Gayle crazy

So I take Breann to lunch today for her birthday and she decides she wants to drive back to school because she still has about 18 hours of driving to get in before she gets her licence. We pull up to the school and I get out to walk around to the drivers side of the car. It is then I notice Breann getting out and the car is moving forward. She realizes then that she didn't put the car in park and is hopping along side the car until she gets in and stops it and puts it in park. Yes raising teenagers is fun. Yes I would do it again. Yes we love it when the learn to drive....excuse my rambling but I hear the power of possitive thinking is helpful. Have a great day and smile!

Help! I need ideas! David has invited a bunch...of friends to his farewell. Between them and this wonderful family that come to support us I need idea's of something to serve after! Any ideas?

Do I look old enough to be a grandma

Well if I look old enough or not Curt and I are going to be grandparents about Nov 10th! We are so excited we can hardly wait. All the fun of spoiling grandchildren and none of the responsibility! Kristy and Chris are expecting! So go check out their blog to see the announcement!
Life is great! I feel so blessed and lucky.
Thanks Chris and Kristy for this wonderful blessing. I know you will both be great parents.
