Grandma Jensen's Birthday

It's Leap Day! Grandma would be 84, or technically 21 years old. My Grandma’s sister died recently. Aunt Hazel was 82 years old, their brother Roy is going to be 90 this year. I can’t believe it has been 28 years since Grandma died of cancer. I was only 5 years old and in Kindergarten at the time. That was a great time; I loved listening to Grandma Jensen’s stories. We lived with them and we were the only ones on the block that had a TV remote, hey it was a big deal in 1979.

photographer

Our neighbor in Provo, Jacob Reni, who now happens to live in Las Vegas, got married in August and used this AMAZING photographer. His wife Wendy was kind enough to let me stay with her when I first moved to Las Vegas. I've had a couple of friends recently get married and engaged and I suggested this guy.

This is one of my favorites. I just love the background and color.

Myrtle Beach, SC

I spent 6 weeks last year in Myrtle Beach, SC with the Radio City Rockettes. I always laugh at the street names Mr. Joe White Ave. Why the Mr.? The street that goes to the Myrtle Beach airport is (Dr. W. LeRoy) Harrelson Blvd. What is up with the parenthesis and the Dr.? I guess it is just the South.

PBS

How does it go? Hi my name is Teri and I’m an addict. I love watching a good PBS documentary. I just saw African American Lives 2, which is about genealogy. Since my Mom is a Family Historian and I spent many hours of my childhood in the Family History Library in Salt Lake (I actually think I learned how to read from microfilm and microfiche) these topics are always interesting to me. If it comes on in your neighborhood you should watch it!

Pres. Monson

I totally forgot to mention that Pres. Monson is now the prophet. Pres. Eyring was moved up to 1^st Counselor, and Pres. Uchtdorf is now 2^nd Counselor. I’ve heard people say he is the first non-American in the First Presidency, but I don’t think that is true. If I remember correctly President Taylor was either from Canada or England. Elder Willard Richards was from England, I’m sure there are others not from America. I remember when President Hunter became the prophet and everyone said he was the first prophet to be born in the 20^th Century. People shouldn’t make such a big deal about Elder Uchtdorf being from Germany. I personally love his talks at General Conference.
