We drove up to Stanford Saturday to attend a PowWow. We saw the dancers there and while we were in town tried out a few other things as well. There is an Art Museum on campus so we went to that. We also went to a nearby Redwood nature preserve and walked around. I stopped to see the Hoover Institution on campus which produces one of the podcasts I have listened to for a long time. Then we went back to the Pow Wow for the final competitive dancing for the day. We had a nice time.
Elaine's Joyful Journey
It is not just the end of the journey that counts. It's also the journey. It's how we get there. It's who we are becoming along the way and the good we are doing today.

Recognition!
We have 8 kids in my ward who are graduating from High School next week. I wanted to recognize their hard work and effort so I made each a candy bar card. I took them around to each of them yesterday and received a picture from one of the mom's this morning!

Lunch Bunch Friends
For almost six years I have had lunch with these lovely ladies. Usually there are twice as many, but small or large, we always have lots to talk about and wonderful food to try out.
