All five senses, some common sense, and a little nonsense, too. Trust God’s Standards, Even When You Don’t Understand Them. Sometimes I make references to stories I grew up with, assuming you grew up with them, too. Sadly, I find many of you led a childhood apparently deprived of some really fun stories. Here are some of of may favorites that seem to keep popping up. They explain me. Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. They dig a perfectly square and deep basement, but forget to leave a way out!

Sometimes I Write for Real: March 2014
http://douglaurel.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sometimes I Write for Real. Friday, March 21, 2014. Still, this wasn’t enough; so Royal added to his workday the duties of a delivery boy for the James Shelmardine Hat Company—Esther sewing on the hat bands at night. Later, Royal worked as a cash boy and general helper at the palatial Auerbach’s Department Store. What change did Royal crave in 1890 at age 30? What made him consider leaving Salt Lake City—the only home he’d ever known? Elizabeth proclaimed that no place in Salt Lake City would feel like &...

Sometimes I Write for Real: July 2014

Sometimes I Write for Real. Tuesday, July 22, 2014. A Few Summer Plans. Maddie taught herself how to ride a bike in June. She got tired of her parents dragging their feet with their unwillingness to run behind a bike. She goes to the park across the street and rides around like a champ. Here are a few fun things we've done this summer:. 17 June—Camp Kiesel. It rained. A lot. They cancelled most of the events, and we left early. 21 June—Great-Grandma June's 100th Birthday. The irrigation canal by June's h...

Sometimes I Write for Real: April 2014

Sometimes I Write for Real. Friday, April 25, 2014. Because I love looking at and sharing family pictures, here are mine from Easter:. Ethan and his cousin. After the backyard egg hunt. Look at how much these two beautiful cousins have grown in a year. 2014 is above, and. Here's 2013. Apparently, they really love sitting on the back step to look at their Easter loot. Almost an identical picture—12 months apart. Maddie in her Easter dress (the doll got one, too). Heading to church Easter morning. I love h...

Sometimes I Write for Real: January 2015

Sometimes I Write for Real. Sunday, January 4, 2015. He was calm and still, just watching and observing a brown horse all alone in a big pasture. This surprised me. Ethan is scared of so many things—why wasn't the sight of this enormous horse walking toward him making him run for cover? But Ethan just watched. Calm and quiet. Connecting. Ew, horse spit. Hard at work for the horse. Ethan meticulously picked grass for over an hour. I thought about it for a minute. But then, snapped to. "No! With even your ...

http://douglaurel.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Sometimes I Write for Real. Monday, May 12, 2014. Not a bad message from one photograph. The oldest 4-generation picture in my family. The young boy is my grandfather, and the three women represent his three-generation maternal line. A 4-generation picture on my dad's side. That's my sister on my great-grandmother's lap, my paternal grandma in blue, and my dad in back. (Taken in 1972). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. I belong to the LDS Church.

Photographs and Photography Tips by A Mom and a Camera: Change is Good, Right?
http://momandcamera.blogspot.com/2010/02/change-is-good-right.html
Thursday, February 11, 2010. Change is Good, Right? I am hoping that there are still a few of my few blog readers out there after the blogging famine of 2010. I know, I know- good bloggers blog regularly and don't go for 22 days (but whose counting? With no posts and nary a picture to prove they are still living. By a local designer who I have followed for a while and already decided to take a class from- Alma Loveland. I could talk about photography all day. If you question this, just ask my husband...

Photographs and Photography Tips by A Mom and a Camera: December 2008
http://momandcamera.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2008. Had to include this one just for the expression. If you have ever been the person in front during a toboggan ride- you can sympathize with my daughter in this picture. My sister ate a little snow. This wasn't her worst wreck of the day from the stories I heard afterward. My husband keeping the baby warm. The baby and I only lasted about 20 minutes before we warmed up in the car. After sledding and lunch, we played some games. . . . Ate some prizes. . . . We did attempt to tak...

Photographs and Photography Tips by A Mom and a Camera: August 2009
http://momandcamera.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 18, 2009. Just wanted to post a few more Bear Lake photos. The kids had so much fun playing in the water and sand. I love going on the boat and taking pictures of the kids riding. Even I went out for a ride. Posted by Mom and Camera. Sunday, August 16, 2009. Yes- he is eating sand. Please remember from this post. That I would prefer not to know all the disgusting things that are found in sand. Posted by Mom and Camera. Saturday, August 15, 2009. Babies just ooze adorableness and this litt...

Sometimes I Write for Real. Tuesday, February 3, 2015. When 1970s Barbie Comes to Visit. Looking at my old Barbies makes me feel old. Twenty years have gone by since I last pulled out my Barbies and looked at them. I think I forgot what a time capsule they really are. The clothes styles, the modesty, the good natured-ness of Barbie back then. My daughter's Barbies are all mini-skirts, heavy make-up, spiked stilettos, and attitude. But my Barbie has painted-on underwear. Wanted her to be. Subscribe to: Po...
