A Quick Stroll Down Memory Lane

So last night I was watching American Idol (love it), and I had two flashbacks from the past... First, Paula Abdul making a comeback with a new album. Seems strange after all of these years, but I must admit while watching her dance it made me think back to the good old days of, 'Straight Up,' 'Forever Girl,' 'Cold-Hearted Snake,' 'Opposites Attract,' and how I wanted to dance just like her. (I mean what little girl didn't?)
Second, after American Idol was over, 'Don't Forget the Lyrics' began. Anyway, I don't usually watch this show, but was immediately hooked when they had Boys II Men come on as the contestants. It made me think, "Where did Boys II Men disappear to for all of these years?" Because you have to admit, they really do have excellent voices. Who doesn't love, 'End of the Road,' 'I'll Make Love To You,' 'MoTown Philly,' 'On Bended Knee,' 'Water Runs Dry,' 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday,' etc., etc. As they were singing it immediately took me back to 1990-1995ish. How crazy that Paula Abdul & Boys II Men are both trying to make a comeback. Anyway, it got me thinking, why are there only 3 members now with Boys II Men? What happened to the guy with the really deep voice? Anyway, what a fun night to reminisce about the good old days.

Love this pic.

So how cute is this picture of President Hinckley?
I saw a story about this picture on TV, & how the photographer captured this great shot of him.
What a wonderful week this has been to celebrate his amazing life of service. I have felt sadness & joy about his death, but I am truly happy that he is reunited with his family (and cute Marjorie).
I am also excited & anxious about all the wonderful things President Monson (and his counselors) will do as he carries on as the new Prophet.
I also love this tribute to President Hinckley.
"Be Grateful, and above all, Be Faithful."
