I think most of the loyal readers of this blog get the BYU monthly magazine in their home. I very much enjoyed an article from this month's magazine entitled "A Pattern for a Joyful Life" by Elaine S. Marshall.
Over the years, getting the magazine has been a nice little perk of a BYU education. Before the Internet, it helped us feel connected to the school and other alumni. It helped us cheer on our beloved Cougars. I remember how impressed the missionaries were a few years ago by our free Jimmer poster. We sometimes recognize people we've known in the section listing accomplishments and sadly, have seen loved ones listed in the deaths.
Some of the articles are entertaining, such as this one written by my sister Miriam. (Scroll down until you see her name.) Some of the articles are yummy, like this recipe for one of our favorites. And over the years, many have been uplifting and enlightening. This is still one of my favorites.
Is getting the magazine equal to the dollars we spent going to BYU and then sending 5 kids there? Of course not. But it has been a delightful and happy benefit that we continue to enjoy.

Those were very good articles. I have some fond memories from Sundays, including Celestial Pursuit, visiting people (like Sis. Lemon), and singing around the piano. I hope to use some of those suggestions in my own family.
Also, remember when Sarah made Mint Brownies? My nose does.
That was Janet, not Mom.
I was right. Mine was waiting here when I got back.
I remember Sarah's mint brownies. And, there will soon be a cupboard recipe for everyone to enjoy that brings back fond Sassy memories. I just need to get more cornstarch.
