Mom's Favorite Recipes

For quite a while I have been working on a book of my mom's favorite recipes. Rachel suggested that I get it published, that there were some websites that could do that. I have recently completed it. This is what the front and back covers of my book look like:

In the book, I have included a picture of Mom on nearly every page, a brief description of the history of how it came to be a favorite for every recipe, and a Nutrition Facts chart for every recipe.

Here are a few of example pages from the book:

 I do have a way to order them but I currently only have it on a private account. So, to order one it would have to be through that, but the price goes down with each book ordered in the order so if anyone wants a copy, I could order them, and bring to the Family Reunion if you're there. I would need to order it by December 1 to get it before the Reunion.

From 1-20 books, it ranges anywhere from $26.66-$23.61 each book.  This includes shipping to my place. The books are in full color, which is why they cost so much.

Family Reunion

Ok, so I know this family is famous for procrastinating.  But it's official!  Frank and I have booked our hotel room for the reunion.  Who is joining us?  We check in on Dec 26th and check out on Sunday as we have to be back to work on Monday.  We need to know who is coming so we can plan activities around what people want to do.  Johnny has put out several options that include Sea World, Disneyland,  Legoland, San Diego Zoo, etc...  Come on people! Let's start making decisions!

Hello and Goodbye

Silently our baby entered the world on Sept 6, 2012 and then just as silently he left.

Nathaniel Randolph McGee was born at 4:27am.
8"long 4 oz.

After an autopsy, his precious little body will be moved to Myers mortuary in Brigham City UT. Hopefully the people there will be able to help us make decisions on how we will proceed from here.

Cousins in Brigham City ... Same day as the Temple Open House

See Catie McGee's post on the Temple Open House and family weekend. It was good seeing so many of you there!

13th Anniversary

Thanks Michele. 13 years and counting. It's been great.  Laura thinks I've gotten old but I agree with her that Michele looks the same now as then.

I lose weight under stress. BY the time I met Michele, I was down to my college weight from 1976 or so which looks much like this picture from 1999.  She's helped fatten me up since then.

The patriarch who officiated at our wedding in the Oakland Temple in 1999 was part of our ward. He passed away last Sunday. His life was celebrated yesterday at his funeral and today in fast meeting.  The events of his passing, help reiterate the reality of continuing life and the promises we have in the covenants we've made.

Thanks again Michele. It's great having you on my side.

Love Larry
