Hat Pins
The other night I went to a baptist choir concert entitled "Tapistry of African American Spirituals." To be honest, I was so excited to see black people I could hardly stand it. Living in old SLC is wonderful but how I wish for a little diversity. Anyway, me and my friend get to the Cathedral and which white person after white person come filing in. You got it...the choir was white. I was so disappointed. Listening to a bunch of white people sing Swing Low just does not have the same effect.
Anyways, while there we saw several woman wearing pretty extravagant looking hats. Definately the kind that you would need a hat pin for which made me wonder about the hat pin. Now, at some point why didn't woman everywhere say, no, you cannot stick that huge needle in my head just so I can wear this hat. I understand that it was socially appropriate and fashionable to wear them and so I understand the social pressure to stick one on there. But what I don't understand is why woman throughout history are under to look and act certain ways. Even know. Everything tells us how to look, dress, eat, ect. I say no more!!!! So, here is my cry to woman everywhere...remove the hat pins from your life! Love who you are! Celebrate your womanhood without giant needles pinning things to your body! Know that you are fabulous just because you are YOU! (guys can think this too of course.)
Okay, I feel better after saying this so please excuse me while I go burn my bra.

The Man in the Vest
I just wanted to share what I just witnessed today...Kelly should appreciate this...
I was walking into my job in the library on campus and on the way there's a green house. It usually catches my attention because for so many months out of the year Cache Valley is pretty dark and dreary and its nice to see some new, thriving green life through the glass. But today it caught my attention for a different reason...There was a well built man wearing only (what appeared to me to be) a black leather vest watering the flowers in a very suave manner. It was strange. I couldn't figure out if he was putting on a show or that's how he waters the flowers. Anyway, just wanted to share...

Where's Mary?
How come I've never seen Mary on this blog. Did I have an administrative oversight and not invite her? Does someone have her email address?
Mary if you can hear [read] this I'd like to see you contribute to the family blog.

so happy to be
We saw the new dog Linus....he took a shine to Grandma. Really cute face. He looks like Stitch. I really don't have much to say...read letters from Ryan and Nick this week. What a thrill to see how well they are doing and how they are growing. Grandpa and I are tired of winter, but so grateful for all we have and what a blessing to enjoy good health and be associated with each of you. Just hearing little things like Heather and Kim spending time together brings such happiness as we see you all close and caring friends. Hope to see you all to dye an Easter egg and eat a bagle. Love you all, grandma
