Week of March 20 - 26, 2022

Spiritual
Sacrament Meeting was wonderful as Dad and a high councilman spoke. Primary was not any better, even with my new approach. Still working on it. 

We were able to get appointments to attend the temple this week. I enjoyed a wonderful Tuesday morning endowment session and Dad attended a Thursday evening endowment session. 

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

I have indexed 10,721 records and reviewed 23,189 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
The Wilkins Family had a normal busy week that ended with some sick young men. Josh had soccer practice during the week but ended up with a virus that gave him a sore throat, and the same virus that made Sam feverish and sick to his stomach. Lots of laundry going on here. Adam enjoys work and is busy achieving milestones in training so he can be promoted. Grace had a great week and is working hard towards her Choir Festival Competition this coming Saturday. Mike is continuing his search for a leadership position while working and Allison continues to adjust to new coworkers. They enjoyed celebrating St Patricks Day and Pi Day last week too.


















The Ethan Rice Family
Ethan and Cameo spent a couple of days camping and had some extra children with them. 




Ethan flew to Pennsylvania on Sunday so he could start working on site early Monday. Cameo got four kids settled for Sunday night and to school on Monday. Illness again visited their home with both kiddos testing positive for strep plus Wadey having an upset stomach. All were better by the weekend and they spent their time at a nearby camping site. 



The Doran Rice Family
Happy Birthday Doran on Monday. This family had a busy week getting back to work and school after Spring Break. 

Morgan
Morgan is doing well and busy working. 

Kayty
Kayty had a good work week. She even had a little off and on time on Friday. She goes back on site on Monday for three days a week. No more pajamas to work for her!

1 major save

The Nathan Rice Family
Sunday was full of illness. One of those stomach bugs hit everyone! By a few days later and they were back up and doing much better. Nathan has been working hard leveling out his backyard and preparing to plant new grass. He has used a rototiller to break up the dirt and then he screens out the big rocks. 


Dad's Garden
A few tomatoes are coming on daily and we just pick and eat. Tons of oregano and citrus is still plentiful though the trees are full of blossoms. 

Family History
Nano's slides continue












 
Other highlights
Sanded more of one table leaf this week. The chairs may just remain the color they are but I sure love the finish of just a clear polycrylic seal. We have the top 3/4 done. 

Dad worked on completing and filling his raised bed garden. Moved lots of compost and dirt. 

I came down with a doozy of a cold this week. The worst part is not being able to rest cuz you can't breathe. Doing better now. I had planned on visiting mom this week but stayed away.

Week of March 13 - 19, 2022

Spiritual
Sunday was good. Sacrament Meeting included a departing missionary and his father, and primary was crazy as usual. 

Temple attendance opened up this week, and while it was too late for me this week, I got appointments for the next two Tuesday mornings, so after two years, temple tuesday returns. Dad attended a session on Thursday evening. 

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s) - I completed my seventh time through and began my eighth, prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. 

I have indexed 9880 records and reviewed 21093 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
Family Photos started the week on Saturday. They enjoyed time together and the pictures seemed to come out nice. 








Mike is still working Amazon and searching for more permanent work. Allison is working very hard at her job at school and is learning a lot about the poor quality of school lunch food as required by the federal government. Adam came home from a swap meet with two new family members: birds. Josh is a great help and takes good care of them since Adam is gone a lot. Elle (the cat) spends a lot of time watching...and perhaps even dreams of a future meal. Adam is doing well, working and dealing with car ownership. Grace is out of school on Monday. She is so excited to be a YCL at Girls Camp this year, so she will spend Monday on a special high adventure hike with the other girls. She is doing well as she practices driving. Josh and Sam were out of school on Friday for Parent-Teacher conferences. Josh is now the Deacon's Quorum President and is on the middle school varsity soccer team! Sam has a second-grade music concert coming next week. On Saturday Sam took a beginning skateboarding class and he really had a good time. he showed me a really cool trick he learned too.

The Ethan Rice Family
Ethan traveled to Indiana for work on Tuesday. Cameo is still feeling poorly but was able to both work and get the kids where they needed to be. 




The Doran Rice Family
Doran, Amber, and family went to the Out of Africa Wild Park Zoo and then visited Jerome. 







Amber took the week off for the kids Spring Break and it was filled with doctor and dentist appointments. 

Amber and the kids came by on Friday to make Doran's birthday cake frosting. (Nathan kindly made the cake and it was much better than my box variety I am certain!) 
Saturday was a family target shooting day. 










Morgan
Morgan had a busy work week and weekend. 

Kayty
Kayty did well during the week at work and attended a Colorado Rockies Spring Training baseball game and Kelsie tagged along with her. 




The Nathan Rice Family
Nathan prepared for Pi day on Sunday and brought us over a yummy homemade lemon meringue pie.

This family had a busy week with Pi Day treats, back to school, extra projects for Nathan at work plus lots of yard work. 


Dad's Garden
Dad continues to enjoy and share citrus and we are still picking smaller roma tomatoes. Oregano is crazy growing. His raised bed garden block work is completed. 

Family History
Nano slide share continues







I was told by Nano that on one occasion,I was riding this horse and fell off, leading to a cut that required stitches. 




 
Other highlights
We continued working on the raised bed planter. 

Not sure why, but there was a pretty nice fireworks show on Friday morning as I was jogging....at 2 am. Not sure how the neighbors felt but I thought it looked nice.
