Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Durian


Durian
Durian is what Singapore Smells like according to my sister Katie. And she is right i


Widely known in Asia as the "king of fruits", the durian is distinctive for its large size, unique odour, and formidable thorn-covered husk.
The edible flesh emits a distinctive odour, strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and offensive.

If you are Singaporean you find durian a delicacy, if you are American you find it the worst smelling and tasting food in the entire world- eew eew eew, even as a gelato flavor it is disgusting, which is hilarious because they have to keep it in a seperate container other wise it will smell up the rest of the ice cream.

And my favorite because it smells so bad it is against the law to carry it in a taxi, bus, or MRT


Spencer's take on it- "Dirtian (or Durian) it smells awful you can smell it all the way from America."

But Asia loves it so much that they designed the Esplanade Art Theater after it- Amazing!
