A treasure from Daisy

Dasiy - - - A Snow Angel

Daisy and the her sons that love her as we do.

There are few things in life that last for a person's life time.

I was blessed to baptize a person in Brazil while I served a mission a number of years ago.

Her name is

Daisy.

She has become part of our family as has her kids. My oldest son and his family vacationed in Brazil this past August. In return, they brought back a treasure that I hold dear to my heart.

A canvas that was touched by Daisy as she created the beauties that surround us on this earth. But. . . what I hold dear is what is located in the lower right hand corner of the painting.

Her signature !!!!!
DAISY

It is worth the time to enlarge the photo to see the signature.

I hope Daisy feels pride as I do to have her painting hanging in the place I call home.

If any of you have the choice blessing to meet Daisy. . . Do me a favor . . .

Give her a hug from . . . Elder Elggren

Summer of 2009

The exchange program brings almost 100 kids into our lives. They arrive in late July and leave late August. Dancing is part of the camp that is run to get them use to Utah and get over the jet lag they have.

This past summer the video camera became part of my body as I shot five and half hours of video for the exchange program that Sharon is incharge of.

Now that summer is lost in the colors of the hills, other things replace the items that governed our lives. Such as attempting to update and tackle the learning curve of "Blogging"

Welcome Back!!!!!!

Have you ever had life fall out from under you?

As I turned and was not watching one day. . . the floor (ceiling) feel out from underneath me.











As I was attempting to do a good turn - Life turned on me causing my leg and lower body to fall and punch a hole in the ceiling of my kids home in Virginia back in March of 2008.

I soon left the ceiling and the home with my mark to remain as a reminder that "Papa" had been there or at least had

"come through there."

I have heard that the repair has been made of the marking I made but. . . any photo or proof to the liking has not been seen by me.

The damage and impression made on the home was not nearly as great as the impression made on my grandkids as they . .

"Saw Papa Coming Through The Ceiling Of Their Living Room."

************

It would of been less of an impact if they would of . .

"Seen Mommy Kissing Santa Clause."

Change comes with TIME / AGE

This part of the "Blog Sight" is intended to focus on my thoughts and outlook on life.

A seat belt might be recommended due the odd turns and curves my thought process takes as life opens up.

But if you are up for the ride . . . so am I. . .

(as if I have a choice)
