Week of February 6 - 12, 2022

Spiritual
Sunday was very good. We had a lovely Fast and Testimony Meeting with many inspired testimonies shared. My class went well as we talked about Noah and the Ark. 

We were unable to get appointments to attend the temple this week. 

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. 

I have indexed 4864 records and reviewed 11,018 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
The Wilkins family had another good and busy week. Josh completed his science project presentation and shared it with us on Marco Polo. Great work, Josh...and great support from family with very cold feet!!





The Ethan Rice Family
Good week for Ethan, Cameo and the kids. Kaylee started to play baseball this week. She was ready for her very first practice in the first sport she has participated in.



The Doran Rice Family
Doran, Amber, Kelsie and Kooper are experiencing the ups and downs of life. Doran is enjoying his added work responsiblities. Amber earned a promotion which will lead to supervisory responsibility and a work vehicle to travel in. She continues to do well in her BYU Idaho Pathways courses. They were here on Saturday for a visit.

Morgan
Morgan had a busy week. 

Kayty
Kayty had a good work week back to regular hours. Nathan made her a lovely and very tasty birthday cake. 



She continues to clean and organize her room. 

Two minor lows this week. 

The Nathan Rice Family
This was a busy week for this family. Doctors appointments went well. Annie enjoyed a special ice cream and valentine activity on Wednesday and then had a great Valentine's Party at school on Friday. While the big girls went shopping with mom, I got to play with Eve. 




The girls played here for a bit on Saturday while Nathan and Jessica headed to Costco to taste some Super Bowl snacks. 











Dad's Garden
Garden continues to be tasty, both to humans and to creatures, which is often a trouble. Dad picked a cabbage, oregano, peppers, peas, carrots and lots of citrus.

I appear here to be much older, yet we still lived at the house at 4130 West Tuckey Lane in Phoenix till I was eight, so it was a few years before we moved. 



I believe this was our dog, Penny

Other highlights
The highlight is that it is over. Root Canal. It was a great endodontist. There was one of the roots that was sensitive when he cleaned out that particular root of the three or four. I was able to go from the endodontist across the walkway to the dentist and wait for the 40 minutes till he could squeeze me in and fill the tooth permanently. And by the next morning absolutely no pain. And that is what matters. 

We found out Wednesday that Aunt Betty Rice Wetzel had died. She was the final sibling of Grampa Rice. I'm so grateful we went to her 90th birthday party a few years ago. She was able to be in her own home with nurses attending to her until she passed. We will attend the viewing next Tuesday.

Dad has been working on painting the house trim and filling in the cracks after work every day. Morgan helped some when he was not working. It is looking really nice.

Week of January 30 - February 5, 2022

Spiritual
We had a good Sunday. Our new bishop conducted and a new relief society president was called. A new family spoke in Sacrament Meeting and they shared wonderful testimonies. Primary class was small and went well. 

Dad was able to attend the temple on Wednesday night. 

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. 

I have indexed 3938 records and reviewed 9363 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
It's been a busy few weeks. Allison has had to get her Master's Degree Applications submitted plus she is volunteering to work with the CASA program. She is also starting to work at the school as a cashier just to get her foot in the door to working with kids and working up in the system. However, for two weeks she will need to work both jobs! One busy lady!!! Adam is doing well and getting used to the ups and downs of car ownership. Grace was relieved those wisdom teeth can stay in another year. Josh finished his science project and all are rejoicing. He has been working on this since the beginning of the school year and he only has to complete his display. Sam is looking forward to attending his first activity days this week. Sam also showed me a cool volcano he made. He made the whole thing and painted it red and it is amazing!! 

The Ethan Rice Family
Another busy work and school week for Ethan, Cameo and the kids. Kaylee received an award at school this week. So proud of her!!

Wade caught a cold from school and spent a few nights not feeling well. 



The Doran Rice Family
Doran, Amber and family took the opportunity to work remote and get away, camping and fishing along the Verde River. It was very very cold but they had a great time. 












Morgan
We saw Morgan this week as he was here working on sanding, filling and painting the eaves on our house. 

Kayty
Happy Birthday, Kayty on Thursday. She spent the days off work sleeping and shopping. 






The Nathan Rice Family
This was another sick week for Nathan and Jessica. Taking care of a baby all night and kids/working all day give little time for rest. They are trudging along. We did see them briefly on Saturday and they were looking so much better! Jessica and Eve stayed at her parents house and Lorrie was a back up to care for Eve during the night while Nathan slept at home. 

Dad's Garden
I picked basil, lots of lettuce and some spinach this week. We still have plenty of citrus looking great.

Every time we visited my Aunt Muriel Kew, who lived in Arcadia, California near Pasadena, we went to the Arboretum. Every time. So I assume this is where we are at this time. 






Again, my fancy pool. 

Easter




Other highlights
I saw this on one of my jogs this week. 
I love these people!!

I went to visit mom, pick up her tree and get Elizabeth her new check. The house is much quieter now with the other two ladies gone, but mom is the boss of the seats, the television, and everything. She didn't know who I was, but seemed happy for the visitor.
