We definitely have a serious lack of snow here in southeastern Idaho. January is usually the snowiest month of the year in this area and we’ve had literally no snow for the entire month. The forecast calls for a 30% chance of snow on Thursday, otherwise just partly-cloudy skies with occasional wind and fog. This is definitely Not Good. We had a normal water year last year and below average the year before. This year we’re at about 60% of normal. We definitely need to get some snow! So, all of you folks out east, start sending some of this stuff our way!

Today was our semi-annual Stake Conference. The general session started at 10 am this morning and we were done at noon. This afternoon has been very pleasant. We had a FaceTime chat with Daryl (who is celebrating a birthday today), his wife Laura and their closing-in-on-one-year-old daughter Lilly. She, of course, dominated the video. She loves to play with the iPad and an app that makes stars and sparkles as she touches the screen. During the whole session she was touching the screen trying to make it sparkle. It didn’t work. I guess we don’t have much sparkle in us!

Ta ta for now!
