If all else fails, I can always talk about myself.......... and I do


My sister, Stacey, has a much better blog than mine. I don't mind telling you that her blog is much more interesting. Why? She has much better material.

She was blessed with two wonderful kids, who make a habit of saying and doing interesting and sometimes, profound things.

I too, have been blessed with four kids, make that five with my daughter in law, who can say and do things, equal too the things that my sister gets to blog about when it comes to my wonderful niece and nephew. The problem is, my kids are all adults and they some times read what I write.

I don't believe that my beautiful bride would be happy with me, if I were write about her. So that leaves me with talking about myself.

The good news, for you who are my family and who feel compelled to read my blog, is that it won't be long my grandson will be my best source for material. The bad news is that in the mean time, I have decided to write my about myself.

You may ask yourself, how is this different from all my other blogs. Not much. But now, politics, movie revues, stories of my childhood and sometimes, me just whining, are now firmly put on the table.

Why you ask? Because I have run out of things, positive to say. Just existing is boring, and that is were I am presently at, now that there is no more kung fu channel.

Well, I think that you have been fair warned and are not under any obligation to read another blog.

Love to all, Boyd

Looking into Heaven.

Joseph Smith once said, that we need to peek into heaven, so we know were we are going. OK, it's not an exact quote, but you get the idea.

On May 3rd, I took a peek. And I can tell you that it is worth every bit of "refining" that I have ever or will ever go through.

On that Saturday, I watched as my son, Justin, my daughter in law, Mellisa, and my grandson, Jackson, were sealed together as a family. And now they are mine, forever.

The ceremony was beautiful. The day was beautiful. And having all that family, around, was a lot like heaven.

Thank you, Justin and Mellisa, for giving me this special day. Thank you Jackson, for being so cute.

Love to all, Boyd
