Because mom cares

Moms always know.

 I thought about cutting these in half...

Teach them correct principles

When I was ward clerk a few years ago, one of my tasks was to count attendance at sacrament meeting. As I went up and down the aisles, I was surprised to see (1) how many people were on their phones, and (2) what they were doing with their phones! Not all of them were on LDS Tools — or even LDS Laughs!

Maybe we should follow the spirit of Pres. Nelson's social media fast and extend that to at least a couple of hours on Sunday. Texting and diving don't mix, as we all know. It doesn't mix with worship either!

One more little rant before we go. I won't say which temple in Utah County it was, but while we were waiting for a session to start someone's phone went off in the chapel. Perhaps we need a "temple mode" as well!

Instagrammy

My Grandma used to carry around a little photo album labeled SOGPIP: Silly Old Grandmother with Pictures In Her Purse.

Nobody takes pictures like grandparents!

Family tales

We all have that one family member who tells the same stories all the time. I imagine it was no different among the seagull families in the 19th century!

Those lazy, hazy days

Those first few days of my mission are really hazy. If you had asked, I would have told you (then) that I didn't have jet lag. But from my memories and my missionary journal, well, there was certainly something going on!

And remember! You can follow Sis. Kerry Jo on Instagram!

Oh, those ancestors — whoever they were!

I often had this problem in my younger years.
