Week 9

7 October

Pat is my wonderful visiting teaching leader. We get together at least twice a month to reorganize visiting teaching callings and to record the visiting teaching contacts for the previous month (here in the clerk's office). I rely on Pat to keep track of changes that need to be made and to contact sisters with changes.

8 October

My sister Jeanine is in town from Missouri, so we decided to eat lunch at Skippers on the spur of the moment. Here is my dad with four of his five daughters and a couple of grandsons.

9 October

My brother Larry was the featured speaker for BYU Women this month. He spoke on astronomy and the ways of knowing and showed us stunning pictures of galaxies, nebulas, clusters, etc., and opened our minds to the glories of the heavens among the Lord’s creations.

10 October

Stephen’s brother Paul with his wife Linda were able to visit for the weekend. They treated us to dinner at Tucano’s, a Brazilian restaurant, and attended our ward with us on Sunday. Linda and I love to share ideas for a good read.

11 October

While Jeanine was in town, my parents and siblings and spouses met for a quarterly dinner at the Brick Oven. This is some of the décor on the wall of our room at this popular local restaurant.

12 October

These are some of the lovely sisters in our ward who came to a weekday Relief Society meeting/flea market. We have a wonderful group of sisters in the Edgemont Fifth Ward!

13 October

This brown bean pot used to belong to Martha in our ward (until I picked it up at the flea market). She hasn’t used it for a long time and said she would put baked beans in and heat them at a low temperature in the oven for 2½ hours. Who wouldn’t want to be the new owner of something that belonged to our wonderful Martha?
