When the page opens click on the Sunday PM, and then look for Jeffery R. Holland on the right side and turn your volume up and be prepared to feel the spirit. When I get frustrated with my calling or the 60+ prospective elders in my ward I find myself watching this. I often need to be reminded that too may good, honest, faithful people have died to carry this work forward and I had better stop feeling bad for myself.Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-2503486332544432382010-02-08T21:23:00.000-08:002010-02-08T21:23:10.591-08:00LDS.org - Ensign Article - “Love Thy Neighbor”<a href="http://lds.org/ldsorg/v/index.jsp?hideNav=1&locale=0&sourceId=6f5067700817b010VgnVCM1000004d82620a____&vgnextoid=2354fccf2b7db010VgnVCM1000004d82620aRCRD">LDS.org - Ensign Article - “Love Thy Neighbor”</a>Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-54488214099520245322009-11-12T17:21:00.000-08:002009-11-12T17:23:57.829-08:00Time to update my blogToday I turned 35.

It was bath night anyway(we do it on Wednesdays like my DAD) so it didn't matter if we all smelled like smoke. Everything was going good with our "small" fire until our campground got a little boring so I threw our Christmas tree on the fire! First thing that happened was Amy got mad, then the girls got scared and mad, then the neighbors horses went wild like the brood mare herd from snowy river, then the column of black smoke got bigger and more embarrassing, the girls were running for their lives and got trapped against the fence 80' from the fire but still trapped and calling in for the smoke jumpers, then the Dora plastic chairs started to change shape, then it was OVER! It was quite the deal and everyone was yelling and pointing fingers but it all worked when they calmed down and was able to roast marshmallowsRick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-62007761980409905942009-04-05T23:23:00.000-07:002009-04-05T23:46:53.224-07:00Roadtrip to Kanab via Toquerville<div><embed src="http://widget-00.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3530822107872913920&site=widget-00.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3530822107872913920&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-00.slide.com/p1/3530822107872913920/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3530822107872913920&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-00.slide.com/p2/3530822107872913920/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3530822107872913920&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-00.slide.com/p4/3530822107872913920/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br />This was a great trip! I will just touch on the highlights:<br />In my car Me. Amy, Kami, Nate, Reghan, Tailor, Kennedie<br />Left 1/2 hour late, buckled everyone in said prayer.<br />1st stop...Wendy's in Tooele, I spilled Kami's 44oz Dr Pepper.<br />Next stop, Meadow for a drink and stretch. Nate and I both noticed the hot older lady working there with a possible boob job, but a bad case of man hands!<br />Next stop, Toquerville..We made it!<br />St. George for dinner, small confusion at the Outback but Nate fixed it.<br />Up early to get ready to drive to Kanab, shower head too low and very energy saving at 8oz a minute.<br />Had a great breakfast cooked by Kami....Mom liked the french toast.<br />Went against Kari and Mom and followed GPS route to Kanab, ya it was a mistake. We ended up driving thru Zions and paying $25 on top of that. Did get to see some scenery and drove thru a long tunnel, but not the fastest way to Kanab<br />Fuel light comes on......just a bit of panic.<br />Missed 4.5 minute wedding ceremony.....dang it!<br />Said Hi to Pete and met his Bride and her Mother(very similar)<br />Home thru Arizona......didn't see any plygs<br />Great dinner and table at the Olive Garden(what else would you expect from St. George) thanks for dinner MOM!<br />Stopped at nice new Walmart to get new shower head.<br />Up and cleaned the cottage.<br />Stopped at Cedar City....lunch<br />Stopped at Rest Area.....for Nate<br />Stopped at Meadow, yes she was working again.<br />Stopped at Lyndal, reenact the breakdown notice pole and building in pic.<br />Tailor stepped in the only mud puddle around....she was crying and shoes off.<br />5 miles later realized shoes were left on car bumper.<br />Turn around and find both shoes in road 1/4 mile apart.<br />Stop in Stockton....for Amy and Reghan.<br />Finally home and watch Jazz finally win a roadgame!<br />Thanks again for all those who helped make this trip really fun, I barely thought about the fact I didn't get any the whole trip.Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-44172939716862465652009-03-26T23:15:00.000-07:002009-03-27T06:59:25.736-07:00Flaming Gorge 2001 Cliffs and Turtles<OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-757e605453efd9d4 height=266 width=320 contentId="757e605453efd9d4"></OBJECT><br /><br />We were watching some old tapes last night and we came across this one. It is at Flaming Gorge in July 2001 and everyone is so much younger. Special thanks to Shaun and Randy for hours of intertainment. It is worth watching, for no other reason it it 3 hours to upload, please pause the SheDaisy sooundtrack so you can hear the video.

Friday was a great day and spring was in the air and I was in the mood to play or do something and this is what I found. Amy has been working some night shifts at the Walmart and I know she is hammered the day after, and for the record, I don't know how she does it but it is her deal and I just have to stay out of her way. Anyway, I laughed a bit, sat down(after taking pics) and slowly life was restored to these two and the night turned out just fine.Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-68036985447207231352009-02-26T07:27:00.001-08:002009-02-26T07:38:40.471-08:00UpateSo everyone is telling me I need to update my blog, the pressure is unbearable so here it is. I have been really busy and haven't had time to update my blog. I went to Vegas and ever since then business at Adobe has picked up and the days are getting longer and its getting warmer and it seems the world is spinning a but faster this year(hate that song), it seems like the other night Amy and I were arguing about who was going to drive home from Mindy and Jimmy's New Years Eve Party because we were both so wasted, and now we are planning Flaming Gorge trips and Disneyland with Elder Palmer. I will try and post some pictures this weekend and now apparently I have to make a Facebook page because that is what everyone is doing, kind of like boob jobs in St. George(its taboo not to have one). I really think that everyone should get done all they can in the next few years because according to the Mayans and many others this whole ride comes to a screeching stop on Dec 21 2012.

I can hear the train blowing its horn at the crossings at Droubay, and Bates Canyon Rd, and I can hear RWB's semi trucks pulling onto the Hwy with another load of water or salt but when it comes to my kids I am deaf, Amy calls it selective hearing. So there are some mornings I wake up and there is evidence that something went wrong because Amy is not in bed, and usually she has been replaced with Tailor or Kennedie. From this point on it becomes a CSI Erda to see where people are laying and to backwards engineer the events of the night before. I just love to see everyone asleep and see how peaceful it all seems but knowing full well that a few hours earlier Amy was fighting to get them to go to bed and sometimes just letting them fend for themselves. She is just so AWESOME and I don't know how she does it.Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-15590986820370497902009-01-24T20:49:00.000-08:002009-01-26T09:56:32.262-08:00An Obama Acceptance Ritual<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNAGjirGTte95dV9h3EjB6WKy5CTx0PvhV1dt3GmRMzbPcpMuU4SOurwf3ceoxrQRmbKMOoHz__2pUXHK2Z4jd8QgiGR63u7Qmh-9p66zkKPqyUungA1sS_ma77ax_zhMSqnpieSH5L8T/s1600-h/IMG_1637.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNAGjirGTte95dV9h3EjB6WKy5CTx0PvhV1dt3GmRMzbPcpMuU4SOurwf3ceoxrQRmbKMOoHz__2pUXHK2Z4jd8QgiGR63u7Qmh-9p66zkKPqyUungA1sS_ma77ax_zhMSqnpieSH5L8T/s400/IMG_1637.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295089213858186802" /></a><br />This is an ancient ritual that we perform after every Election. "Jose" (name changed to protect identity) voted for Obama and has been caught up with all this talk of hope and change. In order for him to completely wash away all the terrible years of Pres Bush it is necessary to cleanse his pores so he can fully accept the new term of the chosen one, Obama. Our most senior employee is seen here apply steam for long periods of time and "Jose" is chanting the words of the Obama Campaign..."Change We Can Believe In", as proof that the heavens approved of our ceremony the sun actually broke through the smog/fog for a short time.

He woke up about 5:AM about 1/2 before I usually get up so I had to put the kennel right by my bed so I could punch it everytime he wimpered. He isn't too energetic (see pics) and has slept for 19 of the 36 hours. We gave him a bath in the tub.....could've used the sink once I realized we only needed 3/4" water, of course Reghan and Tailor wanted me to fill it all the way up so he could swim, maybe next time.Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-48431998314681423792009-01-18T19:10:00.001-08:002009-01-18T19:15:23.690-08:00We Get BRONCO<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGxMLMSzDG8MKMWuEA4iCUWwfMHBTYS5Ck-f9v74eEIqmljyPcDgfouywQlpecRFo9EMHuqOthBPrmVydIgfVWigd3fNAXVsoJZjC6lAyyHj32W1LiF5yEZoXNQtgujAiW34zk8yo8-1x/s1600-h/P1000133.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 330px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGxMLMSzDG8MKMWuEA4iCUWwfMHBTYS5Ck-f9v74eEIqmljyPcDgfouywQlpecRFo9EMHuqOthBPrmVydIgfVWigd3fNAXVsoJZjC6lAyyHj32W1LiF5yEZoXNQtgujAiW34zk8yo8-1x/s400/P1000133.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292837574498688338" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ud7kZUPIwerDu4KSmZNxs-JWuciXaFkX0mzhyphenhyphenLeEG-XilyAlU-of6RYQh5oTyuo8sDifoLDLp8kW42UvI7RCqDyvWRJ9MK-ce8mdnufJhZm1YlGRMNL2KBaErCO_80Fxs4FtXCgs8kUi/s1600-h/P1000132.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ud7kZUPIwerDu4KSmZNxs-JWuciXaFkX0mzhyphenhyphenLeEG-XilyAlU-of6RYQh5oTyuo8sDifoLDLp8kW42UvI7RCqDyvWRJ9MK-ce8mdnufJhZm1YlGRMNL2KBaErCO_80Fxs4FtXCgs8kUi/s400/P1000132.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292837566396589730" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxv4QC4kVNoqSOqul589ihaRz56EbJNkAQSO9JV5mZzyRokg_v3NWk5xbLsiMILxitC2mljgJ1l0HEr5Vqo6nwtqWs8Ut2bUlJNQmMVUPMPqNTW7D01FuIk09CygZGKtESsRzaZBplton6/s1600-h/P1000130.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 368px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxv4QC4kVNoqSOqul589ihaRz56EbJNkAQSO9JV5mZzyRokg_v3NWk5xbLsiMILxitC2mljgJ1l0HEr5Vqo6nwtqWs8Ut2bUlJNQmMVUPMPqNTW7D01FuIk09CygZGKtESsRzaZBplton6/s400/P1000130.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292837563017255138" /></a>Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-54941583818681704192009-01-09T23:26:00.001-08:002009-01-09T23:26:32.523-08:00Amy Maria<div><embed src="http://widget-86.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3170534137672194182&site=widget-86.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=fl&id=3170534137672194182&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-86.slide.com/p1/3170534137672194182/bb_t043_v000_s0fl_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=fl&id=3170534137672194182&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-86.slide.com/p2/3170534137672194182/bb_t043_v000_s0fl_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=fl&id=3170534137672194182&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-86.slide.com/p4/3170534137672194182/bb_t043_v000_s0fl_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Rick Palmerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10298754510344607309noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6376774562913080030.post-69945333378348779832009-01-09T19:07:00.000-08:002009-01-10T09:13:54.206-08:00Amy on KSL TV<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDf1kZZuz0_y_gkqT16BalJzNmpXhAc4wDwOUONuB9-DXnBgj_J5jLvrZ_CrQt_uSxMCDie9TC0oFxaJaw1eUONFl1vScPBBPkx-iyXm9p1dRi5l02LRfRwlrNOvszbqz7YiIQhPD4_Ic/s1600-h/P1000125.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289496712579184546" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 294px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhDf1kZZuz0_y_gkqT16BalJzNmpXhAc4wDwOUONuB9-DXnBgj_J5jLvrZ_CrQt_uSxMCDie9TC0oFxaJaw1eUONFl1vScPBBPkx-iyXm9p1dRi5l02LRfRwlrNOvszbqz7YiIQhPD4_Ic/s400/P1000125.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We had a fun night planned watching the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">BCS</span> game and the Smith's were coming over for dinner, then Amy got this call from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">KSL</span>. 45 Minutes later Alex <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Cabrero</span> was at our door and everything was on hold.
