46 YEARS AND STILL IN LOVE

We are now only doing our writing class at the ward.  Their stories are so good.  I don't have a picture 'cause Kristin took the cord to SC by mistake.  I'll send this blog when it gets here.  The people coming are enjoying it, especially the sharing part.  We just talk, laugh, write, talk, write, laugh and write some more.  It's just great.  Lots of good stories being recorded for future generations.

Thursday was my 5th tick.  I was just laying in bed and felt an itch.  When I looked there was my little friend.  Dad got him and put him on our calendar with the others.


Friday was our 46th wedding anniversary. Kristin blogged about it HERE.


We celebrated by shopping for a Britta and going out to dinner.  We were not in Yanceyville.
My great weekly accomplishment was losing my glasses.  Good thing I have 2 more pair here.  How can one lose glasses when they're supposed to be on your face.
Saturday the Eden Elders had a baptism.  We love going to baptisms; we just wish we had some in our ward.
That night we had a 24th of July celebration by having a quiz on the history of Caswell Ward and then watching 17 Miracles.  The people loved it.  We reminded them that they were pioneers and had settled a Zion right here in NC.
Granddad spoke in church Sunday and did such a great job.  He has such a way of teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  I love to hear him speak.  It makes me want to try harder.
We love our family so very much.  I think that is one of the things I love most about the Gospel.  Our loving Heavenly Father developed a plan so that we could come to this earth to prove our love for Him and our Savior in families.  What a great plan.  We finally finished viewing the family reunion movies and feel so very blessed to be part of such a wonderful group of our Father's children.  We miss them but are not homesick like we were because we know they are doing what they should and love each other so much.  We are so very blessed. 




When the old home gets old you just move into a trailer and use the home for storage.

Just some buildings we see on our travels.

WE LOVE OUR COMPANIONS

Sept 4th  We got up this morning and after eating breakfast Elder Pettey and I got some leather and put new heels on our shoes, we the sang a few songs and afterng dinner we got ready and left Br. Keith's at half past two, and walked three miles to Biltmore where Elders DePriest and Johnson took the train for the east, and a few minutes later Elder Pettey and I rode to Arden and after walking about a mile we got to a friends place where we had stayed one night about a month before  after eating supper we attended a tent meeting of the "holiness faith".  It was ridiculous too see how they acted  At eleven o'clock we retired.
