My Friend, Renee

My dear friend, Renee Barker and I went to lunch today.  Paradise Bakery in Bountiful is always a good place to eat, plus you get a free cookie. I met Renee years ago when her college-age daughter, Alyssa, was probably about five years old and they moved into the ward.  Later Alyssa was in my SEM classes at Clinton Elementary and so fun to be around, just like her mom.  When our ward split, the Barkers ended up in another ward, but we recently served together in the Stake YW Presidency.  What fun we had at camp!  We were the two instigators for many pranks, including sneaking into the stake camp director's tent and hiding her prized and expensive mattress pad on the roof of the restroom.
