On April 10th we were in Rexburg, Idaho to be part of Ruby Laurel's Blessing. It was a wonderful blessing given by Jonny with so many of the Priesthood holders in the circle. Some of the men in the circle had travels from Scotland to be there. What a choice group of men in that circle!
After the blessing and the other meetings that day, Susie provided a luscious soup and salad meal that was to die for! There were some really tasty soups and it was so sad that there was no way to try all of them! One was a squash soup that was sooooo good! I only got a taste of it because by the time I tried it I had already had Tortilla soup and Potato soup and one other. Needless to say, a person can only eat so much! Susie made a gorgeous fruit salad that I wish I had taken a picture of because it was not only delicious but it was so beautiful!
Ruby is such a sweet and beautiful baby and I can't wait to see her grow into the wonderful young woman I know she will become. An added bonus was seeing three other new great grandchildren that I had not previously seen, Jace, Caleb, and Capri! They are all such terrific little people and I adore each of them. Their personalities are so different so it is like an adventure to become acquainted with them, I delighted in each of the other children, too! They had all grown so much! Before you know it they will be adults! Not too soon I hope! It was fun to see lots of my grandchildren and catch up on what is going on in their lives, I could have enjoyed a longer trip though!
All-in-all, it was a wonderful trip and I enjoyed every minute of it! Susie and I had a chance to visit several times and Susie also fixed us fish with a coating that one of the men from Scotland made. Delicious! It was fun visiting with the people from Scotland, too.
Did I mention that Rick had built a ramp into his house so that Great Grandpa could come in? What a guy! He is also excited to help build a ramp and a work shop area for Fred if and when we get into the house we are trying to buy.
Thank you to everyone who have been so good to us while we were there!
Yay for blogging! I love hearing more about the your trip! Are all of Susie's soup recipes on the family website? They sounds yummy! Can't wait for more posts about your comings and goings... and any other random topics you might want to write about to share with us!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Grandma, I noticed that you posted that Sam gave the blessing, but it was actually Jonny.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh! OF COURSE IT WAS JONNY! Please forgive my quickly fading memory and thank you for letting me know what an idiot I am!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, also thank you for giving me your new phone number. Is it a cell or land line?
Jenny, the soups were made by various people but I am not sure who made what except that Adam from Scotland made the squash soup, I think, and I asked him for the recipe. He said he would give it to Susie so hopefully she will put it on the website, I think Heidi made soup and so did Michelle but I am not sure who else did. Maybe someone will get on here and let us know and maybe even put the recipes on the family web site. That would be great! I hope someone got a picture of Susie's salad! It was pretty enough to be featured on the cover of a magazine!
