The Clutter Connection: So Sad
http://clutterconnection.blogspot.com/2012/07/so-sad.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. Earlier today I found out that some members of a family that lives in our old ward were in a terrible car accident as they drove to Utah to pick up their oldest daughter getting off her mission. The mother, oldest son, and three youngest daughters were in the car. Two of the daughters were killed and the oldest of the three is in critical condition. My heart is breaking for this wonderful family. I don't even know how you go on after such a tragedy. Rest in peace, sweet girls.

The Clutter Connection: April 28, 2010
http://clutterconnection.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-28-2010.html
Saturday, April 28, 2012. April 28, 2010. Two years ago today, I dropped Jeffrey off at the MTC (Missionary Training Center) so he could begin his mission. He spent 8 weeks in the MTC learning Spanish and 10 weeks in the Salt Lake City South Mission waiting for his visa to Mexico. He arrived in Veracruz in mid-September and has been busy serving in that area since that time. And now it's all coming to a close. He will be flying home on Thursday, May 3rd. I am so excited to see him! April 28, 2010. Summer...

The Clutter Connection: Thomas Kinkade
http://clutterconnection.blogspot.com/2012/04/thomas-kinkade.html
Saturday, April 7, 2012. Thomas Kinkade passed away today. He was only 54 - so young. I love his art. I know a lot of people don't like it, but looking at his paintings makes me happy. I am fortunate to own reproductions of two of his pieces. The one below, Clearing Storms, is my favorite. It's hanging above my fireplace and probably will hang there as long as I'm around. What happened to good old fashioned human decency? I cannot believe anyone could write. This man was a Gift to Our World. I know he is...

The Clutter Connection: More Politics
http://clutterconnection.blogspot.com/2012/11/more-politics.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. I usually don't post about politics, but the sorry results of this election are driving me to it. People keep writing that Obama has won and now it's time for us to put the election behind us and come together as a country. You know what? So forgive me, democrats, if I'm not willing to fall in line behind the man you voted into office. I'm too busy being worried about the future of our country and my family.

The Clutter Connection: Such a Long Time!
http://clutterconnection.blogspot.com/2012/11/such-long-time.html
Thursday, November 8, 2012. Such a Long Time! Two months ago, Scott got his mission call. Yet he is only 2/5 of the way to his departure date! He still has over 3 months to wait. That's such a long time! It's okay now - he's away at college. I'm not sure what's going to happen when he comes home in mid-December and still has two months to wait before he leaves. That may be a very long two months! Anyone need to hire a nineteen-year-old for a couple of months? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Very Van Horn: September 2009

Sunday, September 20, 2009. It's Nice To Share/Are We There Yet? He asked, wanting to know if we were close to home. We tried not to laugh, but didn't have much luck. The kids keep us in stitches with their innocent vocabulary as their minds develop. I could share much more, but the censors would be all over us. I will miss him terribly until I follow, not only because I feel like I have lost another little part of my husband, but because Dad was always kind and made me feel loved. But it d...Earlie...

Very Van Horn: June 2009
http://veryvanhorn.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 18, 2009. Let Sleeping Dogs Lie. However, when we came back from hurricane evacuation last year, we were 12 days without power and I did not. Experience a positive change in myself on the 4th day. In fact, I was growing less comfortable with each passing day! 160; What happened to all that resilience I was so proud of? 160;A combination of the above? Being the sceptic I am, my initial thought was "have I been sabotaged? Saturday, June 13, 2009. Being the self-professed movie enthusiast tha...

Very Van Horn: February 2009
http://veryvanhorn.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. The time has come . and don't say you weren't warned. Lock your cars in the garage and pull down the shades .my beautiful granddaughter, Cheyenne, has been given a legal permit to drive a 3000 pound piece of machinery around on public streets, independently. It seems like just yesterday she was driving her three-wheeler, so how did this happen so fast? Personal Note to Tammy Papritz. Dear Tammy the Orphan,. And amazingly well, I must say. She no doubt did the lion's share, as I...

Very Van Horn: Sometimes They Call Me Aaron
http://veryvanhorn.blogspot.com/2009/08/sometimes-they-call-me-aaron.html
Wednesday, August 26, 2009. Sometimes They Call Me Aaron. When I explained it is my youngest child's name, she gave me an immediate knowing look. To be fair, I call my son Aaron, "Brennan" just as often. Seems it happens in most families. I know my own mother, on a regular basis, used to go down the list of six children, ignoring gender differences and surrendering to "oh well, whatever your name is! 160;Now I'm one of 'em! Only I've been counting the hours instead of the days! 160;I told Jennifer, ou...
