Yesterday was such a beautiful day! The weather was perfect and the girls played outside most of the day, which meant my house stayed clean! Yipee! And the best part of all was that JR FINALLY came home! It had been two weeks since we had seen Him and man you can miss a lot in two weeks. He missed my cousin Heather's wedding and reception, my birthday, our niece's Birthday dinner, and the birth of His brother's first baby! We are so glad to have Him home for Mother's Day weekend. I couldn't have lasted another day.

Grandma's Tile Table

Grandma's Tile Table

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
