Andrew read his poem about Jimmer. He didn't have a poem until he went to BYU's basketball game and heard the one he wanted to share.
Friday evening we held our first annual poetry night. Blake helped me peel the carrots for our soup.
The idea came when we were attended Ta'iala Academy's delightful poetry night in Samoa. I thought, "What a way to spend dreary winter nights, memorizing a favorite poem". We announced the date to our family back home - last Friday in January.
We gathered for dinner, and enjoyed catching up on old times after our year and a half gap.
We enjoyed eating, feeding, watching, and talking.

Twenty of us performed-
- from age 2-80
- poem, song, thought, or quote
- half were memorized
- funny, serious, inspirational
- all were enjoyed
Danny recited a limerick he wrote in grade school:
The Old Man from Orem
There was an old man from Orem.
He bought some new pants, and he wore 'um.
He bent down and laughed,
For he felt a great draft.
Twas then that he knew he had tore 'um.
Peter, age 7, immediately announced, "I like that one the best."
