So...
I don't know what to say about this picture except that it is strangely fantastic. I love it! This must have been shortly after we moved to Colorado from Minnesota. I don't know where Rachel is, but I get the feeling she is a bit more classy than the rest of us...

Check out the mud on Abe's cheeks! Does anyone remember what we were doing?

YES!

Could it Get any Better than This?

Doris Day as Calamity Jane

I found this neat website called dorisday.net and find it most amusing and fun. As most of you know, this film, Calamity Jane is one of my personal favorites. I cannot prove it, but I do believe my nickname: sas--which stems from sarsaparilla/sassafras is a result of this film. A little far-fetched? Maybe, but it's the closest explanation I've got. You are welcome to give me a better one, but no one, not even Naomi and Rachel know why they started calling me sas. All I know is that they are the ones that began it! And I also know that Doris Day is my hero and I used to mimic her order of Sarsaparilla's now and then. Who wouldn't want to be a little Doris Day?

Go to this website! There are clips of some of the songs:

The Deadwood Stage, and Secret Love:

Family History Fun for the Children....

The Family History Library strives to accommodate all patrons be they adults, youth, or even young children. The following site called,"Especially for Youth" is found on the FHL patron home page and was made by gathering different activities relating to family history for the interest of the youth. The family tree above was found in the section, "Something for the Children, ages 3-11." I thought it was charming! My favorite is a puzzle link where you can upload an image, ie family photo. Take a look and be entertained by the games and ideas presented there...(Just think of all the Family Home Evening activities)! See the following link: http://192.168.64.24/PDYouth.html.
