sickies, funerals, airports, projects

Chelsea went back home today.  She and Hannah both cried.  It was a really fun visit. Hannah had to go to school, she didn't want to but of course you gotta do what you gotta do, so it was just Grace and I that drove her to the airport. I think it's really strange that the elementary and middle schools get two weeks of spring break while the high school gets one week.  Although even more weirdly they have tomorrow off and a half day on Thursday?  I don't know why.

Grace always has interesting things to talk about.  She's really been wanting to earn money and always tries to think of ideas.  Her newest idea is to make cross stitched pillows and selling them on ebay.  She started this one and plans on selling it to me and then using the money to buy more kits or to buy stuff to make a wreath to sell.  Which is another of her ideas.   She also is thinking about becoming a vegan.  She thinks people are mean to animals in the food industry.  She has lots of info to share on the topic.

Rob and Ethan went to a funeral in Northern California.  They left yesterday and drove up, making a stop on the way to see "Batman vs Superman" at the movies and to eat some ribs.

Today they were pall bearers.   Rob's grandfather Kaurin passed away.  We went to meet him a couple of summers ago.  At that time he was bedridden but very happy to visit.  He was interesting and very kind and smart.  Rob said his funeral was nice, he had full military honors.

Ethan wasn't feeling well a few days ago.  Today I still am under the weather as is Rob and now Han is saying she kind of feels badly too.  Percy kept me company while I laid on the couch this afternoon and watched "When Calls the Heart", and while Grace was on the other couch working on her pillow.

The weather took a turn for the colder the last few days. Good thing we had our beach days last week.

In other super exciting news Emma Idiart (our cute cousin) opened her mission call yesterday.  She is going to the Moldova/Romania mission leaving in July!  Wow!! That's an exciting call!!  Tanner should know where he's going in a few weeks too, can't wait to know!
