Different ward, different church building

Today our new combined stake wards were re aligned. 1st ward is no more...it is spread between 3 wards. We keep our same Bishop and 2 counselors.We are called Bear Valley Ward ..we get part of Orange Glen Ward..which is no more... added to us..and we attend the Washington Bldg now.[it is not a nice building..in a lousy area.] It should be interesting ! Only 81 families of our original ward remain together.

Dadu's new project

Each time we go to the hardware store we pick up two of these blocks.they are VERY heavy for our Toyota......eventually we will have a retaining wall for the side dirt !

recovered dining room set this week

Before and after pictures..

Black matt finish Naugahyde was my fabric of choice..The chair seats were done with a sink down affect, like a "donut" ...I ripped off the fabric piping, removed the sticking up staples..then I cut wood bases and drilled the 4 bolt holes in them. I used our other chair pads to fill in the middle of the donut, then put the wood on that ..and stapled the black Naugahyde over it all before replacing the seats on the frames...then bolted it all back together. Hard on the back, arms, wrists and hands due to the pressure to keep the fabric taut and stapled nicely. Only 1 popped blister on my hand...Fun Project.

recovered the chairs

Today I recovered the dining set chairs with black naugahyde. My hands and arms are sore and I have a popped blister in the palm of my right hand.

Mother's Day

I proved I can cook and not poison anyone this morning!

Happy Mother's Day to that favorite Mother in my life!

And let us not forget our mothers who made us possible:

Billie Mae Ridge Wanlass
Anna Vera Barrus Wanlass
Ruby Elizabeth Stewart Ridge
Jane Dyet Wanlass
Amelia Angeline Anderson Barrus
Mary E Storie Ridge
Alice Ann Weaver Stewart

I may have only known 4 of these women but without them I would not be here!

Thank you one and all. May we meet and rejoice in one another one day!!

pulsitile tinnitus

If you know anybody with pulsitile tinnitus...I found a site that helps greatly with the feeling that you may be crazy... whooshers.com we are not alone...we are not crazy.

what's new at church ?

Today Escondido and Escondido South Stakes were combined into Escondido Stake. The current other stake president Pres. Wilkinson is in charge with new counselors Pres. Moore and Pres. Baker. At least they put our stakes' awesome R.S. in ! Now, the new people get to decide the ward boundaries changes. Should be interesting !!
