My parents, my heroes

Do you think it will last?

I think 50 years qualifies as "lasting."

Tony & Anna Lu LaPray of Highland, Utah will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on Thursday. They were married in the Logan Temple, June 18, 1959 and have made Highland their home for the past 36 years. They are an example of true companionship and love, during difficult times and happy times. We are proud of you and love you very much. Thank you for all you have done for us.
Mike, Suzy, Nancy, Joey, & Jene (spouses & 18 grandchildren)
We love you!

But if I happen to feel the need to speak to her when she's at work, I always ask for her by using both names; Jene Marie (with the schwa). I don't want her...

I am being published!

I know! It just reeks of excitement, doesn't it?  I know what you are thinking. "Who would publish that woman's thoughts?" The answer is a lovely little outfit called www.blog2print.com. In other words, I haven't been discovered. I am no closer to being a published author than I was yesterday EXCEPT that by Christmas I will be the proud owner of my very own blog book! I know. It's a little anticlimactic but here's the cool part. My friend, Becki, found me entertaining and directed me to a blog called www.josikilpack.blogspot.com.  She posted a little coupon code for 20% off which was supposed to end last week. Apparently, the code is still good and I saved $14. That said, you know it isn't exactly the cheapest way to get published but it's the best price I could find on publishing my blog!  And it requires very little technical know-how.  And that, my friends, tickles my heart. And, for a small price of your integrity and dignity, I will share the ...
