Ray’s new saddlebags
Ray got new saddlebags for his motorcycle. I wanted to give him a nice, useful gift for Valentine’s Day. He got a pair of small bags to put on his bike. They are just the right size for his mid-sized bike, and they are able to sit underneath the back of his bike’s seat. These [...]
Mom and Dad have a 45th anniversary
Mom and Dad Dahl (my kids’ paternal gradparents) have celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary this week. Very cool. They are absolutely wonderful parents and grandparents to us all. I am so glad they are wonderful mentors and friends to me.
Why are some Moms so mean?
Ben needed bananas so he can do the Bobo skit in LDS seminary tomorrow. I stopped at the Smith’s grocery store in downtown Salt Lake City on my way home tonight to pick up some bananas and other food. I had a long day at the university, but I wanted to stop and pick up [...]
My hard working students
This is my view from the instructor station in my Westminster College classroom. I teach 15 wonderful students on Wednesday nights this semester. I am teaching the basic web design course for graduate students. These students are absolutely wonderful and a dream to teach. They work so hard, and they participate in class quite a [...]
Oscar the laptop cat
Oscar is not normally a snuggly kitty. He does, however, like to sit on my computer; so when I had my computer on my lap tonight, he was there. After Ray took this picture, Oscar settled down to sit on my lap for a good half hour. I finally had to move because my leg [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Love is everywhere and seen in simple showings
Watch this Mormon Message to see how simple it is to show tremendous love to those around you. I give daily acts like these to friends, family, and students. It seems so simple to give hugs or smiles, but these acts are a direct message of love to my wonderful friends, students, and family. If [...]
Meeting with Westminster students
Today I went to Westminster College to meet with a couple of students asking for help on their class projects. They are required to make a website this semester, and we are at the point where they are starting to have unique problems with their code. I met my students in the adjunct office. The [...]
Oscar the Cat just adores my husband
My cute kitty Oscar just adores my husband, Ray. This is a picture of my wonderful cat while he sits on my desk and carefully watches Ray walk out of the room. Oscar jumped off and followed Ray right after I took this shot. Oscar is a rescued cat. Ray and I picked Oscar up [...]
Carpet cleaning
I use a little SpotBot to take care of spills that my kids leave on our too-light-colored carpet. The little SpotBot does a good job, and it has kept my head from figuratively exploding. Head explosions are a figurative risk because I hate dirty carpet. This disdain for dirty carpet can easily be traced back [...]
What?! The lies about antidepressants all these years
I had taken antidepressants for years, because I experienced a genuine Depression episode years ago. I fell into a deep depression after my son was diagnosed with type I diabetes at age 5. It got really bad, and after about a year I went to my doctor and begged for help. That was the start [...]
