Every year we take a picture of the cousins present at the Bountiful cemetery where Scott’s brother, Paul, is buried, as well as his Tibbitts grandparents.
Here is the 2014 version.

Following in Scott and Sue’s footsteps, Mark graduated from BYU yesterday with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music with a Sound Recording Technology emphasis. Mark has wanted to study this since his early days in high school and now it has been fulfilled! Congratulations, Mark! We are so proud of you!
Mark leaves for his final tour with Young Ambassadors soon and then will be continuing to look for his dream job and work on enhancing his recording studio.
Here are some pictures from the last couple of days:
This is my annual post whining about snow falling in late March on my blooming crocus and daffodils.
I should be used to it, but I’m not.
I wrote about finishing my Kindle book a few days ago, and now, my sister, Christine, has finished her own book. Sue and I gave her feedback and comments, so we’ve had a chance to see it, and it is awesome. If you’ve ever wanted to know the tricks of creating an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind Halloween costume, or costume for any time of year, check out her Kindle book. It’s only $2.99, so I can promise that you get tons of information for that price and you’ll learn her magic formula for creating such costumes. Check some of the costumes out on her Facebook page and website, The Costume Resource.
If you don’t have a Kindle, it doesn’t matter. There are Kindle apps available for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, everything. And they are free. So head on over and get it! And please leave a rating and review if you do.
Some of you know that I run another website called Outdoor Cooking Magic where I write about cooking outdoors. I like to cook on the grill, smoke in my smoker, cook with Dutch ovens, and cook over a campfire. I put recipes, tips, reviews of products, news, and other information related to outdoor cooking subjects on this website. I recently participated in the 30 Day Challenge, which is run by a very smart guy named Ed Dale. He teaches about how to start a business online and make your first dollar. It’s an annual event and I’ve participated several times in the past years, always learning lots of new things to help with my ventures on the Internet.
This year the challenge was teaching us how to write an ebook that would be put in the Kindle Store on Amazon in 30 days. I’ve been working hard the past month and last night published by first book on Amazon in the Kindle Store. It’s called Grilled Vegetable Magic. It’s been a fun process and there is something satisfying about having a product published on Amazon. Things are so different these days and publishing is truly open to anyone that wants to do it. I’ve also started a companion website called Grilled Vegetable Magic where I’ll focus on grilled vegetable topics.
My sister, Christine, also participated in the challenge, and is very close to having her book published as well. She loves to make custom costumes and she has written an awesome book about how to create and design a Halloween costume. I’ll put up another post when she has her book done. It’s pretty timely, with Halloween right around the corner.
I’ve also brainstormed another 20 similar books that I could write, so that is one of the by goals over the winter, to get several more ebooks written.
If any of you would like to participate in the Challenge, and get that book that you’ve always wanted to write done and out in the Kindle store on Amazon, they’ll be leaving the training material up for another 60 days. I’d be happy to answer any questions that you might have.
