Alone. 1 Randy had a marvelous sense of humor. 2 Randy was so creative and shared his talents with others. Well, that is what I thought when I first saw Ran...

Wednesday, April 6, 2011. How Did Cosmo Do It? He had somehow managed to get this large container of dog food out of his dog door. This is actually the most benign thing that Cosmo has tried to eat. On several separate occasions (generally while I am at Church,) he has lived through stealing and eating the following:. 15 sticks of gum and 9 pieces of Double Bubble Gum, all in 1 hour's time or less. 5 blocks of Tom Cat Mouse poison and a small bag of butter mints. 64 Lactaid Pills at one time. It seems th...

Monday, February 28, 2011. 2 Valentine's Day Candy Houses in 2 Days. Houses, so I bought 2. Books, made Scandavian Heartbaskets and filled them with candy, thus receiving the Candy house for Valentine's Day would make sense. Here's the cute book I bought. And the heartbaskets that I made for Karli and Sage. They were both such good readers. They both could read the book to me. Sage and Karli with the first house on February 13. Avery and Nash with their Valentine House. Nash with his heartbasket-. Below ...

Tapestry: September 2009

Saturday, September 5, 2009. Flowers Sent from Heaven. Randy loved sunflowers. In 2007, the last summer I had with Randy, it was his idea to plant giant sunflower seeds all along our back fence, but not one of them sprouted. He was so disappointed. Amazingly, I now have sunflowers in my yard that I NEVER planted (and they are nowhere near the back fence.) I’d like to think that Randy sent sunflowers straight from heaven just for me—just to add a little sunshine into my life. What do you think.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Now Ducks Are Dining in My Yard! To view video, click on the arrow on bottom left under the photo). When I was leaving the temple on Tuesday, I saw a pair of ducks sitting in the grass in the front of the temple near where I had parked. I told them they were pretty birds. They ate it up. Then after I got home, I was amazed to see 2 ducks eating under the Catalpa tree by the shed. Ever since I was little, stray kittens and dogs always followed me home. Now birds are doing it.

Tapestry: Thinking of Randy today
http://patternsetchedinmyheart.blogspot.com/2011/04/thinking-of-randy-today.html
Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Thinking of Randy today. Before we met, I had insulated myself. No one could hurt me any more. I said I didn't need anybody. Then you came into my life. You came and broke down my walls. You kissed my soul with love. Now my walls are gone. And so are you. . . . I feel so lost. I miss my dad. April 12, 2011 at 9:44 PM. He is constantly in our thoughts as well. WE love you! July 30, 2011 at 5:54 PM. That is the true love story to me. May 1, 2012 at 9:34 PM. Ryan and Erin Alkema.

Saturday, May 24, 2014. Beautiful Japan as I photographed in 1967-68. Kinkakuji- The Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan. This is my favorite photo that I took in Japan. Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan and the outside walls of this building really are covered with gold. At the time of the tsunami near Sendai, Japan, we were inundated with disastrous images of Japan, so I thought it would be nice to show you what Sendai looked like before this disaster. Inside the gate to my apartment in Sendai, Japan.
