HAPPENINGS and NONNO ONOFRIO

It was General Conference weekend. If you want to listen to the talks, go here.

 It was a wonderful weekend.

I will be doing a post just about some of the talks and what they meant to me.

But for now let me just say that watching/listening to 8 hrs of church over two days was wonderful.

I took off work on Sunday morning so that I could devote myself to conference

and my family, and I am so glad that I did. 

We had our usually breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs, toast (for Gio)

cinnamon rolls, milk and juice.

Then we sat and watched and listened, taking notes,

feeling the spirit and being spiritually fed.

It was wonderful!

It also snowed! What the heck!?

On Friday and Saturday it was in the 60's and short weather.

Actually on Friday it was the low 70's and heaven! HEAVEN! T

hen on Sunday we woke up to this:

It really was a beautiful sight! And a great day to stay inside!

Though, the only downfall to the snow was....

Tibi!

That darn cat has not come back yet...and well....her and snow don't mix.

All we can do is hope that she is okay.

Tomorrow it will be one week.

And we aren't happy....

so we just pray and hope she is okay!

Last night Brian had his championship game for

BASKETBALL

They had gone the whole season undefeated!

We knew that this would be a hard game.

They had played this team once before this season and won by

only 4 points...but last night...

WE WON BY 12 PTS!

YEE.HAW!

So

CONGRATULATIONS

TO THE

PHS BULLDOGS

6TH GRADE TEAM!

Brian wasn't on his A game last night...his arm was bothering him some..

But he still started and did his best to help the team out!

-----------------------------------------------------------

We got our new fridge last night!

It barely fit.

Much bigger than the other one, with a lot more room.

We are gonna love it....

And Brian can't wait to use the ice and water from the door.

What silly things make kids happy!

I should have made this portion a separate post....

But...this part is dedicated to

NONNO ONOFRIO

Giovanni's father, Onofrio Bona.

He passed away 40 yrs ago yesterday.

Gio was only 6 1/2 when he died.

He only has a few memories of his father

and wishes so much that he had a recording of his father's voice.

I know that he was only with Giovanni for a short time

but he made a lasting impression on him.

I know that Gio is the man that he is also because

of his father.

Ti vogliamo bene Nonno Onofrio!
