Spring is here

The seeds are budding and the flowers are blossoming.  Birds are chirping merrily and the air is fresh with the smell of Spring.  As we kiss winter goodbye, we embrace spring with a gladsome heart and a joyful smile.  Winter was a tough one for a lot of us, some go through a depression others are still looking for work.  My advice is look to spring and clean out the cobwebs and renew ourselves for a better tomorrow.  First, we thank God for his gentle hand in guiding us and protecting us.  In providing us with food and a place to sleep.  For that we are grateful.
Saturday, spent some time with Gabriel, my number two son and made some chocolate chip cookies.  Not that it came out straight from the box, I prefer to bake things from scratch.  Hard to find chocolate chips here in Sevilla. The ones for baking I mean. They have it in Madrid. People here I guess  tend to eat  chips ahoy, etc. Even the big supermarkets like El Corté Ingles don´t have it on their shelves.  I mean the semi sweet one like Hersheys, etc. The cookies was a small batch.  It turned out okay not burnt!! It was gone the next morning.  Not bad but prefer Mrs Fields´recipe. Will have to make more this week.

We had a tough week.

Just got word that one of our close friend´s son-in-law has Hodgkin´s Lympoma at 2nd stage.  We were stunned.  We hope and pray that with chemo and radiation treatment this yound man will see full recovery.

Our second son, Gabriel who turned twelve last November, received the Aaronic Priesthood and is set apart as Deacon´s Quorum President.  We are proud of him.

Carolina our oldest girl went on a weekend trip to Granada and brought us back some delicious pastry called "pioninos"!  Very sweet.

Daniel,our number one son is occupied with lots of exams, this year he attempts the entrance exams.  Hope he gets in the university and major in something that he has a passion for, physics and computers (informatics).

I have been busy clearing the storehouse at work to make way hopefully for a yoga room.  Meanwhile, at work I have been busy fixing soups and soups for the clients, to keep them warm for the freezing winter.
