Beautiful Fall Sabath Day

Thank you dear Kathryn for assisting, no, for doing all the hard work to get me on this blog spot.

Kathryn is amazing, she can do everything. She does a scrapbook page each day, they are wonderful pages.
I also want to be like Callie, committed to a daily routine of keeping a journal. She takes a picture each day. This month she has done a special project, each day she has a theme of gratitude for blessings with pictures of what they are thankful for. She sent me a book of my visits in Michigan. I love it so much. It is a treasured gift.

I am thankful for my tremulously, beautiful, talented, wonderful,delightful, loving, kinds, inteligent daughters.

It has been a beautiful fall Sabbath Day. We had Stake Conference last evening and this morning. It was the broadcast and the messages were powerful, timely and inspired. Sister Liftter talked about her pioneer heritage from the Southern Utah Area she called them her foundation of faith. I liked that Foundation of Faith and am going to name the pioneer book I am writing "Our Pioneer Family our Foundation of Faith". Brother Cook and Brother Irving talked about having our own personal faith and testimony, how it can be developed with starting the day with meaningful prayer, listening for answers to prayer, studying the sciptures and strengthening our families, with homevening, family prayer morning and night. Brad King and President Potter and Bro Dinklmen and Rachael Powell spoke last night they did such a great job. Brad talked about being nicer in all situations, which is very needed.

Tami King invited Mary Worthen and I to come over for lunch. It was a great lunch and it was so nice to relax and just visit. I love all those dear people.
Sarah called me and we visited for a while it really helped to have someone to talk to while I was ironing my cow aprons for the Bread and Soup event tomorrow. I didn't get time to do them yesterday. I worked in the yard on the leafs for 6 hours and got 12 bags it was back breaking at least it felt that way. I picked the apples then got cleaned up and went to conference. When I got home I started on the apple sauce. I tried using the cooker on my glass top stove because I was using pint jars and felt like it wouldn't be to heavy. It worked, but I ran out of time and had to stay up until 1:00 a.m. until it was finished cooking.

At 11:45 I got a phone call, it turned out to be Rik Vasques of in Coloado, he told me some very sad new that Billy Brown had past away, he was very upset, me to. She was my VISTA volunteer a few years ago. Now she is married to Mr Brown the High School Band teacher and they have two wonderful little girls. Billy is a talented vilion player. They live in Salt Lake City. I am so upset about this. I don't know what I can do but cry. So many sad things.
