Wow! I just found "The King Family Website" and it has Harmors listed as relatives. I haven't done any genealogy for years, but what little I did I don't remember having the surname King show up.
Computers and the internet are great tools for genealogy. Morris, you need to see this site!

Food -- Yummy Food!
Last year a bunch of friends got together and started a monthly international food night. Last night was "Irish Night." There was lots of good food! Each month I have fun looking through recipes deciding what to prepare. I like to choose interesting sounding recipes. For Irish night I made a main course, a specialty bread and soup --Blue Cheese, Zucchini and Bacon Soup. Sounds interesting doesn't it? The soup was absolutely delicious! I have to admit I wasn't sure I was even going to like it and it ended up being my favorite dish of the night.
Moral of the story -- don't be afraid to try new things!

German Exchange Student
It's official -- we will be hosting another German student this spring. His name is Lukas and he is 17 years old. Because we are a host family for him, Andrea is at the top of the list to go to Germany next year with the German-American Partnership Program (GAPP). Andrea is excited about this; she has wanted to do this ever since we hosted our first German exchange student a few years ago.

New Snow
Yeah! We got the snow the weatherman promised us! I figure we'll have at least one or two more snow falls before the weather warms. New snow is always so pretty and fresh. Just gotta love it!

Lov-e-ly!
Do you ever get the urge to watch "old" classic movies. Well, I do. The weather we are experiencing here in Northern Utah is great -- lovely -- "lov-e-ly" and it makes me want to watch the musical My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
It has only been three months since my garden has been unusable. Today makes me happy because I just planted three variety of peas. Just in time for the snow storm we are expecting in three days. The snow will help toughen the peas and actually help them sprout. Yeah!!!
Last week I planted eggplant, cilantro and two varieties of basil. They will be kept indoors until mid- to late- April. I enjoy watching my garden grow. It refreshes me -- new life.
Oh goodness, speaking of new life. Two weeks ago I delivered another baby. A friend of mine called me and asked me over to her house to help with her labor; it was moving along very fast and her "preferred" midwife lived 90 minutes away. To make a long story short... it was a good thing I was there because the baby mal-presented and needed help getting out. What makes it even more special (and even spiritual) is that the specific type of presentation is one I have a lot of experience with. The Lord is very much at work in our lives!
Now go enjoy an old movie... maybe My Fair Lady!

I'm a Big Girl Now!
It's official--I'm a big girl now. I finally broke down and bought a pair of high heel shoes. How old am I? um... well, at least I'm not 50 yet. I figure I can wear these dress shoes for the next 25 years like I've worn my old pair of low-heel dress shoes.
I feel so tall!

soy milk continued
I make soy milk every Tuesday morning. That in it itself is not very impressing. What is though, is that people in my church know and every couple of weeks I have someone at the house learning how to make it too! Apparently, I am not the only person I know who doesn't drink animal's milk. It's great too because I am meeting new people and beginning not to feel like such a wierdo-outcast anymore.
hurray for like-minded people!
