1.  Margaret came over early and we practiced our song again.  I think we are ready.
2.  Millie's baptism was at her Uncle Ralph's home.  A member of their bishopric was there to officiate.  She was baptised in the  spa tub.  The water came clear up to her neck, but she is a little fish and was not scared even slightly.  Her Daddy confirmed her and gave a beautiful blessing, her Grandma Yarro gave her a book and gave a lovely talk on the holy ghost, her brother Nick gave a talk on baptism, Margaret and I sang, I played prelude and Margaret directed.  Her Uncles helped with her confirmation and it was a very special day for a very special girl. 
3.  We had a luncheon after the baptism.  We had punch, rolls, meats and cheeses, fruit trays, salad, crackers and dip, and the famous Dear Lizzie cupcakes and Kneaders bread pudding.  I had to be really careful as I ate a little salad and since it had a lot of celery, I stopped and spit it in my napkin.  I need to make sure I get an epi-pen from my doctor the next time I go to see him.  The kids jumped on the trampoline and swam in the pool and the adults just visited for a while.
4.  We went to several plant nurseries and finished getting all the flowers I want in the yard.  All of the nurseries this year have wonderful plants.  I keep thinking I will plant some myself in March, but it never happens.  I think the reason is, I love to wander the nurseries and  I would miss it too much.  Picking out the best plants is a very fun thing for me.
5.  We went grocery shopping and there was a guy at Smith's giving away a free plastic garnish knives is you listened to a little demo.  I haven't tried it yet but I think I will cut up an apple like he showed.  The kids will love it.
