HALL OF FAME

sky while waiting for the delayed game

Well we were all pretty happy after that long night of a great win for BYU.  Scott and Beth came over for breakfast at 11:00 so we had dinner.  The girls picked up the apples under the trees in the back yard.

Lauryn  the other 2 were too blury

The Jennings went to another ward's sacrament meeting while we went to our YW and priesthood.  The Jennings packed up and we went to our sacrament meeting.  They left while we were gone.  Tiffani cleaned the entire house while we were at church.  Thank you Tiff.  Our meeting was David Wilcox's home coming.  He has grown so much in every way.  It was a good meeting, at least the part we stayed awake for.  We went home teaching on the way home and wouldn't you know our lady at Cove Point is the mother of one of Tiffani's best friends in Vegas, Jennifer Bennion, who is in Tiff's ward in Vegas.  Dad then went with his companion to home teach the Chris Wilcox family.  I love being married to a man who honors his priesthood.
Bought a new camera this week in that I threw dad's under Dave's car and broke it to pieces.  I certainly have a way with cameras.
Ava helped granddad do dried apples.  She stayed with it the entire time.

 She came the next day to taste her work.  Boy can she eat dried apples.
Scott came over and fixed our roof Tuesday.  We lost more than 20 shingles after that horrible storm Saturday.  We'll need a new roof soon.
Got a text from Jeff saying he had shot a doe and a buck.  I teased and asked how could he ever kill Bambi's mom and dad?
Sarah Law and Willy Isom had a great reception in the law's back yard.  It took us 1 and a half hours to get through the line.  Sharon had everything so perfect.  Varlin said to tell everyone "hi".
We got home to find the new rug we had ordered for the dining room on the porch.  It really makes the room cozier.

Before it rained too hard Thursday, we picked the peaches off the tree and the ground and then went inside and pealed and cut 4 gallons to put in the freezer.  It was actually fun. 

 We gathered 2 gallons of apples for Clark's chickens and have another 5 gallons of peaches to give to Shanelle, Bethany and Tiffani.  Love the summer time.  Scott came over and helped granddad give me a blessing.  It feels like my rheumatoid arthritis is coming back and the pain is strong.  I'm sure that now it will get better.  My great grandmother spent the last 20 years in a wheelchair with it so I was getting a little nervous when it didn't go away.  Already it feels much better.  I just can't bend over but that will get better too.  I just needed the help from the priesthood.  

We went to Erik's sophomore football game.  They won 50-0.  We're going to quit going if that can't score more than that.  He's a great coach.

It was fun to take a short trip to St. George.  We did some shopping Friday and went out to dinner.  (We didn't know that there was a big bash for Coach Arsalanian.  They had our Timpview e-mail)  Saturday we went to the Hall of Fame Luncheon and everyone asked where their captain was the night before.  They said it was nice because they could tell stories about him and he wouldn't be there to tell it right.  He was thrilled that he was missed.  The luncheon was very nice and Coach asked George to give a short speech.  He did a great job in such a short time.  Men told him they didn't know he was such an orator.

 It was great for him to be with the guys he had teamed with just 50 year ago.  The team was chosen to the Hall of Fame because they are the only team in the history of Dixie College who went the entire season undefeated.  What stories they can tell.  That evening they were honored at the half time of the Dixie football game.  They named the field the Sark Arsalanian Football Field.  He is a great man and is still so with it at 90 years old.  Tiff and Dave and family met us at the game.  The minute they got there is was delayed by 2 hours because of the lightning storm.  That's 3 games in a row where they were present and the games were delayed.  BYU at Virginia, BYU vs Texas and now Dixie.  We told them they were no longer invited to games we were involved with.  When the team went out on the field at half time Granddad took Cameron with him.  He was so excited he just beamed. 

 They left after the half time and we got to our motel at 11:15 P.M.  What a wonderful day and evening.  The only problem was that we had taken several boxes of produce from our peach tree and garden to Tiffani and in the confusion of the delay we forgot to give them to them.  What a bummer.

Today, Sunday, Scott and Bethany and Co. came to visit and lo and behold they brought me a Mary Poppins umbrella with the real parrot handle.  The home teachers were there so I couldn't even cry. 

 What memories that umbrella has for me.  My mother read me all of the Mary Poppins books when I was not little but young, probably 5th grade. I love that memory of my mother reading to me.  What a wonderful mother I was blessed to have.  I have been so blessed all my life with good families surrounding me.  Life is good.  Thanks you Ava and Bethany and your men.

I love this great man I am married to who is so supportive of everything I do.

Tues. Nov 13th  We left Evan's at 10;00 A.M. & started on our way to Conference.  After going 2 mi. we stoped at a friends by the name of (blank)until after dinner.  We then went on and after traveling until night & being refused 6 times we got to stay with a family by the nae of J.O. Neighbors, where we were treated very friendly.
