r A n D o M t H i S 'n T h A t !

As we were driving thru the city the other day, I got so excited to see the blossoms on the trees and the daffodils in full bloom. Yeah, spring has sprung. I can't wait to meander thru Central Park in a couple of weeks when Brax and Abbie are here. I love spring time with all the new life appearing.

This is a High School right in the middle of a busy street lined with skyscrapers in Manhattan. Just thought it so out of place because there is no football field, baseball field or track surrounding the building. We don't realize how lucky we are to have "land" available for our kids when they go to school out west. They have a track building close by, but it is all in-doors in a tall building.
We have been asked to be the transportation people for the "Reflections of Christ" exhibition that will be in all the chapels here in New York. For those of you who don't know about the book out with the same title, it is a beautiful book with photography art depicting Christ's life. Our good friend Kari gave it to us for Christmas and it is amazing. It is fun to be a part of this showing here in the City. First showing is at the chapel in the Temple building, this Easter weekend. We are here trying to figure out how to get this huge crate holding all the pictures in the building. Wallah! take the door frame out. That will do it. Then unload all the pictures out of the crate into the elevator and up to the 2nd floor, and hope that we don't get a ticket while waiting for the crate so we can load it back in the truck and drive away.
Yes - we do have a fear of tickets in the city. Take a good look at this sign, we didn't see it when making a left hand turn at 125th street at 8:30 am on our way to mission conference on 65th street. We were promptly pulled over by an officer wanting to give us a ticket. This would have been number 16, but, the officer was a very nice guy who stressed the importance of watching out for signs that pop up randomly in the city. I am sure seeing our Utah license plate helped him understand that we were clueless and didn't see the sign. That afternoon, on our way out of the city, I wanted to go back and see the sign that we had missed. Sure enough, there it is.
