"So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment."—Thomas S. Monson

This is Why!


All my life I have LOVED picnics. I used to love it when my Mom would pull out the yellow plastic picnic basket and off we'd go on a picnic. Mom made the best picnics. We'd often have egg salad sandwiches and for some reason we always had a bottle of pickles. I found these picture among all the slides my Dad took and they answered the question of why I love picnics.

Cute!! What fun memories of picnics-- Lucy will have a picnic with you any day. She loves them too, so I guess now I know where she gets it.
