Spiritual
Dad had a good day at church, though the boys were a bit on the antsy side during the lesson he presented in Deacons Quorum. Sunday he spent reading.
The temple is closed for two weeks, so no temple service this week. I had hoped to get out to the Mesa Temple this week, since it will close for renovations on May 19, but we didn't have the time. That temple was where I was sealed to my parents and family, where Dee and I were sealed, and where two of our children were sealed and where many in our family received their Endowment. It will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Scouts was...well, it was. We invited the new boys that will attend Cub Camp and are entering our dent this Summer. Well, one boy was crazy, plus our Denner didn't help, since he was nuts too! We were practicing our skit for the "campfire" and the boys did a good job rehearsing the two Sister Day had selected. Then we asked them to vote on which one they wanted to do. They said they wanted to make up their own. Hummm. So, we gave them ten minutes and they did make up a skit. They thought it was funny. Not sure what the rest of the audience will think...but then again, they did it themselves. It was an exhausting night, though, and we are going to talk to the Cub Committee. We have been enduring very active boys for over two years and we might just need some help. Dad's scouts didn't go as he had suggested to the Counselor, but the boys did cook and did well, though in a missionary prep situation, Dollar Store items would have been much more practical rather than a roast chicken, bacon, pasta, etc.
I am in Alma 47 in the Book of Mormon. I continue to listen to a General Conference talk every morning that I exercise.
I have indexed 11356 records and reviewed 8213 records so far this year.

This was shared by Cameo on Sunday, Mother's Day...
I had a wonderful Mother’s Day. The day started with french toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage, 50 roses, a massage chair gift, church, FT with Mom, a visit from the sister missionaries, slip & slide fun with the kids, FT with MIL, steak and homemade mashed potato dinner, The Greatest Showman, and cheesecake for dessert. I felt so much love from my family and friends today. I have always wanted to be a Mother. I am blessed to be the Mother of these two. 💗💙😍 Happy Mother’s Day!!! Also, Happy 13 years to the hubs. What a very special day today.

Morgan is enjoying his new job and the new area of the United States.
Kayty
Kayty had a good week at work. A couple of near lows healthwise, but all were handle able. She stayed up late Friday and we both watched to see Prince Harry marry Meghan Markle. We just wanted to see the dress. We both were not impressed. You would think a dress that cost over 250,000 dollars would seem to fit. Anyway, it was fun.

Shear stress in a fluid can be calculated using the viscosity of that fluid and the rate at which
the fluid is deforming, it occurs as a result of the no-slip condition that is present in fluids. In a
laminar flow, fluids are made up of an infinite number of thin layers. When a fluid is in contact with
a surface the fluid layer that is in direct contact or boundary layer is in a no-slip condition, which
means that it is not moving relative to that surface, in other words it sticks to that surface. When a
fluid in contact is trying to flow, this no-slip condition creates a force that acts tangent to the fluid
layers, and opposes motion. This opposition to flow creates a shear stress in the fluid. Viscous shear
stress in a fluid is defined as
=
du
dy
(1)
where is the shear stress, is the dynamic viscosity of a fluid, and du
dy is the strain rate. When
a shear stress is applied onto a fluid the fluid will deform continuously, the rate at which the fluid
deforms is the strain rate. Viscosity is a measure of a fluids resistance to deforming under a shear
stress. Equation 1. can be rewritten as
=
du
dy
(2)
Showing that viscosity is the constant of proportionality between shear stress and strain rate. The
viscosity of a fluid is specific to that fluid and can vary greatly Table 1 gives a list of several different
fluids and their dynamic viscosity’s. The shear force can be felt by placing a few drops of different
fluids on ones fingers and rubbing them against each other, noting that that the force it takes to move
ones fingers can be altered by varying the rate of motion, as well as by changing the fluid for one
with a different viscosity. Thus shear stress in a fluid is proportional to the viscosity, and the rate of
deformation in a fluid, which is caused by the no-slip condition.
In a pressure flow in a pipe, the viscous shear stress is greatest at the wall where the velocity is
zero, this can be shown by doing a force balance on the fluid flowing in a pipe with a fully developed
velocity profile. As discussed earlier, when a fluid that is in contact with a surface is flowing, a shear
force will be acting on the fluid. The magnitude of this shear force will vary as it acts on each layer
Table 1: The dynamic viscosity of a fluid is specific to that fluid at a given temperature. This table
lists several common fluids at 20°C to show how much the viscosity varies between them.

Ammonia 0.00015
Water 0.0010

of the flowing fluid. Note that because this fluid has a fully developed velocity profile, the velocity
at any given point is constant, thus there is no acceleration by newtons first law. Because this fluid
is not accelerating, a force balance can be performed to determine the shear force at any given point
in the fluid. Referring to figure 1 which shows a fluid with a fully developed velocity profile in a
laminar pipe flow. The forces acting in the positive x direction are the shear force of the fluid layer
at distance r and the force of pressure of the fluid at horizontal position x. The forces that are acting
in the negative x direction are the shear force of the fluid layer at position r + dr and the force of
the pressure at horizontal position x + dx. These forces sum to zero, then solving the equation for
yields
=
r
2
dP
dx
(3)
where r is the distance from the center of the pipe, and dP
dx is rate the of pressure change along
the pipe. Looking at the equation it can be seen that as r approaches R which is at the wall of the
pipe the shear stress will reach its maximum. This shows that the viscous shear stress is greatest at
the wall of the pipe.
Figure 1: Diagram showing the fully developed velocity profile for pressure driven flow, where u
is the velocity in the x direction, and longer lines indicate a greater velocity. Note that as distance
from the wall of the pipe increases so does the velocity of the fluid, indicating that there is a force
acting on the fluid that varies with distance from the wall.

Jessica is really enjoying school and has been assigned her first group project...service in the community. Nathan is really enjoying visiting their garden plot...a good break from hours of study.

Happy 4th Anniversary on Thursday!!! The got a babysitter and actually had a date! They attended a session at the Rexburg Temple.
Nathan worked all night on another paper...planned on sleeping 30 minutes and then going to school early to work more...and then was awakened by Annalee three minutes before class was to start! They are enjoying their garden and watching it grow and taking fishing trips. This week, Anna caught 3 fish and Jessica caught two.
Dad's Garden
I picked 220+ tomatoes on Monday morning and evening. On Thursday morning, the 1000th tomato was picked. Even with the mites, the dying plants, and the lack of sun cover, the garden did pretty well. Friday, we roasted tomatoes in the pizza oven, ran them through the strainer, and ended up canning 20 pints of tomato sauce.
Kayty says our house has Too Many Tomatoes (like the book I have - Too Many Pumpkins)

Our tomato count this week as of now is 1326.
Year of the House Part 2
Dad got me a new toilet seat last Saturday night so the bathroom is done till November at the earliest when we venture into the attic to try that exhaust fan again.
Other highlights
Mothers Day was good. Earlier last week, I received in the mail from Ethan, Cameo and family, a necklace that can have essential oils added as aromatherapy. I also received this bouquet of flowers.
I got all ready for church on Sunday, including all my "crown jewels" (the jewelry given to me by my kids that has survived the years) but when we were about to go, Kayty didn't look good...I am sure she was low but not low enough for seizures...so I stayed home. Doran, Amber, Kelsie and Kooper were surprising me and attending church with me, so dad sent them on to our house and we had a great visit, filled with fun, drawing and cutting paper, cinnamon toast, hugs, and some pretty awesome gifts.
Later, Annalee, Ellie and Jessica called while Nathan made them a pretty fantastic brunch (French toast, cream cheese frosting - you MUST try this! When I was in Idaho, a bunch of Nathan's engineer friends had a breakfast and they put this on French toast...it was to die for!!), eggs, hash brown potatoes, and I think sausage. Annalee showed me her jumps, her spins, her new Princess Sophia shoes, some more jumps, some drum playing, and her chocolate covered face from getting some of Mommy's gift from church thus the spins and jumps! Ellie is crawling and climbing everywhere, including inside the refrigerator, and loves to laugh when her big sister tries to scare her. Anna even had served herself her own breakfast: a plate full of chocolate chips...truly Grammy's girl! I then got the most wonderful message from the Wilkins family...love from Allison, and then they all sang the song to me that they sang in church for Mother's Day. It was a beautiful song, one I had never heard before. So wonderful. I later got to FaceTime with Ethan, Cameo, Morgan, Kaylee and Wade as Ethan worked on a steak dinner with home made mashed potatoes. Looked yummy and it was great being able to visit with everyone! So Mother's Day included calls, gifts and cards from all my beautiful children.
Now, to my children...YOU are my gift...you and those you married and your children bring me the greatest happiness and joy that I could possibly imagine and I would literally do anything for each and every one of you. Being a mom...being YOUR mom is the BEST thing in my life!!! I love you Allison, Mike, Adam, Grace, Joshua, Samuel, Ethan, Cameo, Kaylee, Wade, Doran, Amber, Kelsie, Kooper, Morgan, Kayty, Nathan, Jessica, Annalee, and Ellie!!!!!!!!!!

On Thursday, I took Nano to one doctor for an injection, to the lab for bloodwork, shopping and then to Walgreens to pick up photos.
Nights were still cool this week so we could have the windows open and my morning jogs were heavenly! Dad hiked many mornings too.
