Week of March 12 - 18, 2023

Spiritual

We had a wonderful Sunday. Sacrament Meeting was great and we enjoyed hearing from two of our youth as well as Laurie and Geary Roberts. 

There were no appointments available for me to attend the temple this week and Dad enjoyed a session on Wednesday evening. 

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

I have indexed 4853 records and reviewed 6063 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Spring Break for the Wilkins Family and they enjoyed their time off. Grace returned from a wonderful trip to Hawaii with her school choir. 

The Ethan Rice Family

Ethan was in town to do reviews for the leadership at the Home Depot Distribution Center here in Phoenix so he had dinner with us on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Cameo kept things going at home

and that ol leprechaun played some tricks on Friday.

The Doran Rice Family

This family is doing well. Spring Break this week. A couple of new temporary additions to the family have their hearts. 

Morgan

Morgan and Cassie stopped in for a visit on Wednesday. They are doing well and are so glad their car is now working. He changed the oil here and gave us some fresh spring water. They are hoping a job pans out in Munds Park for Morgan. They would have an actual space rather than the forest. 

They spent time with us and with her brother in Mesa and then returned home to flooding from rain and melting snow. Morgan ended up having a few seconds on some newscasts. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good week at work. Including some pics from last weekend's ball game. 

The Nathan Rice Family

The girls called me via FaceTime on Tuesday to tell me of their exciting night for Pi Day. Individual pizzas for them and then Daddy was going to make chocolate pie! Annie read me a Fancy Nancy Book about a spa that included recipes and Annie had plans for pedicures, facials and manicures for the family. We also read Emma's book called "Babysitting Grandma". Quite a darling book. All the girls sat and chatted and snacked on yummy apples. 

Dad's Garden

We ate chard, collards, carrots and snow peas from the garden this week. Even though our weather is not terribly warm, some of our plants are going to seed. The tomatoes are hanging in there. 

 

Other highlights

Dad took three days off and they were used to trim trees, haul branches, rake leaves and bag them, and get stuff done that doesn't get done during the regular work week. 

Lovely rain on Wednesday.
