I put a roast on this morning before we left for Church.  James and I sat on the front row so he would have a place to put his walker and stretch out his leg.  Kim came up and sat by us.  Wayne Todd Mayfield, Denice Hall, and Steve Allen were the speakers in sacrament meeting.  Kim loved the talks and thinks we have a great ward.  I would agree with her.  These three people who spoke today are some of my favorite in the ward.  Of course Kim, Brian, Joe, and Alex all leave after sacrament meeting.  I wish they would stay.  Teresa Smith is back.  She went to be with her mother until she passed away.  Now the news is that she and Wes are leaving in two weeks to go on a mission.  They will be serving in Kansas.

James got to set Chuck Crane apart today as part of the new High Priest Group leadership in our ward.  President Danny Crandall set Chris Skousen apart as the new High Priest Goup Leader and David Hall, another high councilman,  set Kip Hunsaker apart as the other counselor.

In Sunday School we talked about the Nauvoo period from 1840-42 which included the founding of Relief Society.  Bro Wilhelm asked me to read the Relief Society Declaration.  I told everyone I was in the Relief Society training meeting in SLC when the Declaration was first introduced.  Mary Ellen Smoot was the General Relief Society President and Virginia U. Jensen and Sheri Dew were her counselors. 

We finally have a Mia Maid advisor, Sandra Wilhelm.  She taught the Mia Maids lesson today.  After the block Diana, Kaeli, Analee, and I had training by the stake Young Women's officers, Fawne Jones, Sister Hastings, and Jessica Boone.  It was raining when I finally left the Church.

As I drive up to the house Kim and Brian are sitting in the rocking chairs they gave us, on our front porch, enjoying the nice weather.  The boys, Alex and Joe were playing ping pong.

Before they left for home Kim took this picture:

After our company left James and I watched an episode of The Walton's and Cedar Cove.  We took a nap and then I did the dishes.  We went out on the deck in our usual spot to read from The Grecian Princess but it was too cold and we had to come in. It was raining along with some lightning and thunder.

James fell today.  Thank goodness he had his boot on, which protected his leg. 

 

There was suppose to be a meteor shower tonight but we had too much rain to see it.  I did get a picture of the sunset.

 Goodnight Sun.
