Spiritual
Mothers Day Sunday. My kids had already made the day wonderful with texts, messages and calls. Church is always a question. Sacrament Meeting had great music. The primary sang. All the men and young men in the ward sang. The talks. Well, the youth were great kids but there were mostly talks that said how wonderful and perfect their own moms were. Nice for their moms. Left the rest of us feeling a bit less than good. (That has always been my problem with Mothers Day. For me, it was a day of feeling like I let everyone down. It had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my kids. They all are and have always been the greatest gift to me and always will be. Always. No matter what). After Sacrament, the young men took over primary. The women and young women were invited to share a social in the cultural hall. I have tried that for three years. And anyone I did know is now moved to another ward. And the young women think old people are crypt keepers. So I went home. It was a lovely day and I enjoyed talking with and thinking of my kids and grandkids. And you know, no one even noticed I wasn't at the womens event.
We were able to attend the temple this week, performing sealing ordinances on Wednesday. Our sealer was so personal and you really felt he was sealing the actual individuals we were proxy for.
My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day.
I have indexed 26,400 records and reviewed 11,905 records so far this year.
Family
The Wilkins Family
Twelve years of first days for Grace
The Ethan Rice Family
I had a wonderful text from Ethan and visited with them as I opened my gift on Sunday. Cameo had a wonderful Mothers Day.
They had a great day and they shared all the work they had done in the front yard at their house. The lawn is looking amazing!!
The Doran Rice Family
Busy work week for Doran and Amber. School is winding down. Doran and Kooper invited Dad to their Father Son Campout from Friday to Saturday.
Morgan
No news from Morgan and Cassie this week.
Kayty
Kayty spoiled me rotten on Mothers Day as always. She knows just what I love. Good week at work too.
The Nathan Rice Family
Nathan called and we had a great visit on Mother's Day. He sent my favorite: Sees Nuts and Chews and they will be enjoyed for weeks!! The family had a great day celebrating Jessica and she sent me a sweet text earlier in the day.
Nathan traveled to Tucson on Monday and was in seminars all week. His flight home ended up being delayed a day so he missed being with Jessica on their 10th Wedding Anniversary. Happy Anniversary to both of you.
He got home on Saturday and was glad to be back.
Dad's Garden
Our two broody hens finally hatched one egg each and now we have two new chicks. So our total count is six elder hens, four smaller hens, and two tinies. I am picking smaller tomatoes and Dad is loving them.
Other highlights
Just a normal good week.
