How blessed we are! We were able to get a new washer and dryer delivered today! Hooray! Now the laundry can resume. Rod had an office party so I made Famous Dave's Baked Beans to take. The folks really enjoyed them. They called for grilled steak, grilled smoked sausage, and smoked bacon. It really made the kitchen smell good!
While doing the beans, I also made sweet corn salsa for our ward picnic, along with a chicken pasta salad. The salsa is always a big hit and the secret ingredient is Tiger Sauce! This colorful salsa packs a surprising punch with its sweet hot flavor and there is never a drop left!
Grocery shopping came next and then we went to Rod's little get-together for a few minutes. He really did not want to stay long. We had other things going on like...
A visit from Rod's sister, Janet, and her husband, Bob. They are here from New Mexico for a vacation with some sun. They came to our ward picnic with us and we had such a good time visiting with them.
Becca with a couple of her cute friends in YW, Briana and Taylor.
Some of my friends in the ward.
We love our ward family. There are so many amazing people and wonderful friends!
Our adorable sister missionaries.
Sister Mclean and her husband brought their cool spring stilts.
Lots of the youth wanted to try them out including...
Becca! Above she is getting the stilts strapped on. They have to fit the legs and feet quite snugly.
Careful . . . this is certainly a time to lean on friends. Maybe a little interview with the bishop will help. This was a busy day! Our ward picnic was so much fun. We went home tired, but with a smile on our faces!

You are a great cook and homemaker. You always amaze me with the fact that you hold down a full time job to boot.
Your baked beans sound so good. We can exchange recipes although my dutch oven recipies are pretty simple. I will send you a potato recipe that my brother-in-law does. I'm sure you will do great on your trek.
I feel your broken appliance pain!! We had to purchase a new washer and dryer last year. Someone washed a pocket knife in his pants which popped open in the dryer and put nicks all over the inside of the dryer drum. Can't complain too much, the old Whirlpool dryer was a wedding gift - it lasted 28 years! I sure do love the new stuff!!
Gee, thanks for putting a picture of fatty, pregnant me on there! The 28 pounds I've gained so far really show nicely...
The other side of the picnic coin turned out great! Thanks for the reminder.
