Sister Suzanna Landbeck in Gaia, Portugal, got to Skype with us on Mother's Day! Here are our traditional photos with Me-MOM on Mother's Day!
I got to go on a quick trip to Utah---helping a friend drive out (she was moving there) and she paid my plane ticket back, making the deal very attractive. A chance to see family during the school year for Emma---
And to see Stewart at work (160 North University, Provo)
He made me his favorite shake: banana pudding and Nutella. Delicious!
Pudding is put on the bottom, swirled around, shake poured on top, so separate flavors, almost like a pie...
I spent time Saturday on temple square--usually people take just a photo of the Christus statue, but I focused on the great mural.
More murals:
After our session, Deborah & I walked around temple square searching for the most modest & beautiful wedding dress. There were 49 weddings just on Mom's shift, so we had lots to choose from. See my instagram account for details (look up jennilandbeck and follow me there!).
Back at Mom & Dad's I took pictures of some of Mom's artwork rescued from the attic and now hanging up in their home.

Dad really likes this one. He calls this one Upraised Woman (?)--correct me, Dad. Mom painted in acrylic while we lived in San Jose, CA.

LOVE the colors! She calls this one....Orange Cliffs (?)

And her interpretation of winter California hills, green & beautiful.
I also took photos of some of David's work that is still hanging around. This one should probably go to brother JohnB.
And more good stuff:

Mom said Luanna should have this next one hanging in her home since she was David's model:

All with the understanding that if he had a show of all his artwork, we would gladly gather the paintings at whatever venue. It is nice to have so much talent in the family and no blank empty walls.

Even the circuit breaker box has some David art decorating it.

This big painting of John is by his wife, Jennifer S. Babcock. Hanging in dinning room.
And finishing this long blogpost with two of my quilts, early 1990s.

Nice to see things used/hanging. This is my nod to Baltimore Album quilts, just one block.

I'm glad you got to go, and glad that you were cared for while there. But now I'm glad you are back!
I'm glad you took pictures of all that cool art! Such talented artists! It was way fun having you here for a little bit! And I loved having you with me at school.
It has been great to see some of this on Instagram and see even more here. It's fun to see your kids in their environments so we can picture their lives now. I loved loved seeing mom's paintings again. It has been a long time. Thank you.
