When Chris and I were married we planned our honeymoon in Palm Springs California. Before we left my Grandpa Jolley asked Chris to bring back the "Family Blarney Stone" and that is when Operation Blarney Stone began.
( So here is a little history) This is a picture of the house I grew up in. Before my family lived in this home my Grandparents lived there. I'm not sure of all the details, but my Grandpa found this REALLY HEAVY Stone our family calls the "Blarney Stone." He thought it would be a great idea to have this stone out front, so that whenever a boy came to date one of my Aunts they would have to lift its stone. If they couldn't lift the stone then my Grandfather would send them away. ( We have tried to weigh the stone but it just broke the scale)
So while we were in the area we decided to drop in and " Borrow" the stone. :)

I hope you had a good mothers day Laurie. :) I'm POSITIVE Grandma would be there for Boyd's blessing. :) She was there at our boys' placement, birth & sealing too. :) (sniff, sniff) I miss her too...I wish you could've had the opportunity to grow up in Oregon and make the visits to the "egg lady" and sing around the piano upstairs for Grandma (a favorite request of hers to me and my sisters) I find I still sometimes go to the phone to make the call to her house to ask her some medical question or even advice on cooking and/or substitutions. She was pretty darn great - although it is pretty comforting that all we have to do is look to our moms and aunts to see her mannerisms and even glimpses of her expressions...I love ya Laurie and I hope you enjoy being a Mom - I'm sure you're a great one! :)
