OUR TRIP TO TWIN FALLS, IDAHO

On Saturday, March 8th 2008 we went to visit Grandma Aleen. It was so fun!! First, we went hiking and bouldering in the Snake River Canyon. Then, we went to lunch, to the museum, and finally Max, Darren, and Michael went to a movie; while Mom, Grandma, Nicholle, and Caitlin had fun at the hotel. It was a blast and we can't wait to see the rest of the family in May.

Plates on Display in Bulgaria

Plates on Display in Bulgaria The world's oldest multiple-page book — in the lost Etruscan language — has gone on display in Bulgaria 's National History Museum in Sofia . And something about that book has particular interest for Latter-day Saints.
As is evident from the photograph, this book was created on metal plates that are bound together with metal rings similar to the original source documents that became the Book of Mormon.
The book dates back to 600 B.C., which is roughly the time that Lehi and his family left Jerusalem .
The small manuscript, which is more than two and a half millennia old, was discovered 60 years ago in a tomb uncovered during digging for a canal along the Strouma River in southwestern Bulgaria . It has now been donated to the museum by its finder, on condition of anonymity. Reports say the unidentified donor is now 87 years old and lives in Macedonia . The authenticity of the book has been confirmed by two experts in Sofia and London , museum director Bojidar Dimitrov said quoted by AFP. The six sheets are believed to be the oldest comprehensive work involving multiple pages, said Elka Penkova, who heads the museum's archaeological department. There are around 30 similar pages known in the world, Ms Pen kova said, "but they are not linked together in a book". The Etruscans — one of Europe's most mysterious ancient peoples — are believed to have migrated from Lydia, in modern western Turkey, settling in northern and central Italy nearly 3,000 years ago. They were wiped out by the conquering Romans in the fourth century BC, leaving few written records. The long debated question about bound metal records existing in the Middle East 2500 years ago as claimed by the Book of Mormon can now be put to rest. Critics should take note and check that item off their list of objections to the authenticity of the Book of Mormon.

I WAS WONDERING...... IS IT SPRING YET?

A friend of mine sent me this picture... isn't cute? She is ready for spring and to be honest so AM I!!!!

6 QUIRKY THINGS ABOUT ME???

Marisa challenged us (her sisters in-law) to write 6 quirky things about ourselves... first I had to find out the meaning of the word QUIRKY!! ... acording to Max it means things that are peculiar or unique of someone... if this is true, I will need a couple of hours to write them down!!!

1- I was the guinea pig in my family. I'm the youngest of 4 kids, my older sister Susana was a lot older than the rest of us, so it was my brother Gabriel,( the mind) my sister Charito (the commander) and me ( the executioner). When my parents would leave us alone..(in my older sister's care) my brother would invent many crazy things (like a circus) in our house. He would put alcohol in a wooden wall and floor and strap me to a chair, light it up and have me go through it!!

2- I'm a clean freak ( asked anyone).

3- I love animals ,but I don't like to have them in my house (they make a mess!!) That is why we only have fishes.

4- I'm a go getter ( I think is better to say I'm sorry, than to ask for permission).

5- I had English in high school, and I always failed every class I had!!

6-Because I'm the youngest, I'm the one that every one spoiled. My Dad used to call me " la hija de la vejez" ( the daugher of my old age).

IF WOMEN CONTROLLED THE WORLD !!!!
