MOm's 8 secrets

1. In the third grade I was standing behind a classmate after recess waiting to go into the building. I must have been mad that she was in front of me but for whatever reason I reached down and grabbed her ankles and picked her up. Her forehead landed on the edge of the step in front of us. She bled like crazy. I remember going in to the principal's office. Then Mother came and brought me home. I don't remember my punishment but it must have been fierce. I went to high school with her and at a reunion I remember staring at her forehead. It had healed quite nicely. I reminded her of what I'd done and she didn't remember it was me.

2. I started dating at 12 and had my first kiss at 12. His name was Mike Smith. This was in Bozeman, Montana. (To my grandchildren reading this - those were different times and besides I always had to take my little sister, Judie, with me. The rule now is 16 and don't you forget it!!!!!!!!

3. I wrote the script to a road show for the MIA kids when I was in Belgium. It was about Freddie the Ferocious Dragon. The three girls were frightened maidens from the castle. Then two missionaries came along and converted him to the gospel and they all remained fast friends.
I got costumes from and old attic that stored costumes for the city. WE perfformed it that Youth Conference in a Swiss Army Camp in Switzerland.

4. When I was going to BYU I used to spend two hours every day in the music practice room in what is now the north end of the Provo Library. I would sing and accompany myself singing mostly opera and other classical music. I miss it and I'm sad that is not a part of my life now.

5. In 7th grade I tried out for the school chorus and was turned down. I was disappointed but I promised myself that someday Miss Bonelli would be sorry. Well a little dramatic but it did make me more proactive. In high school I took lessons from the school choral director and I made into the top chorus and then was chosen to be in theSWeet Sixteen where we sang for various city and other functions.

6. I was a Thespian in High School and was in numerous plays (

7. During my Senior year I was in charge of a statewide Thespian convention and workshop.

8. My favorite scripture is in the Book of Mormon - And I was encircled about eternally in His arms. Ths was Alma talking to his sons before he died. It is such a comforting concept to know that we are in His arms and he will protect us as long as we remain with him.

OK, LORI, YOU'RE TAGGED. I CAN'T WAIT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU!!!!
