Hi everyone,    Today our Ward had the Primary Sacrament program, and it was just wonderful. I love those kids so much. I had many of them in nursery, a few years ago, and several of the older girls in Achievement Day, just this past year, or so. I sat with Gran and Grandma, and they loved it too. There were lots of grandparents in the audience, and I was imagining that some of our grandkids were up there. They had a few whole families take part, and I wondered if some of you might have been involved in your Wards.      Dad just got home this evening, from his trip to Coeur d'Alene and Seattle. It's so good to have him back home again.      It's been perfect weather for the past week or so; now today it's turning cold and windy. Dad said he drove through snow near Dillon, on his way home today.      Housley's came and fixed the pump in our well on Friday.  Now we won't be getting our water from the well ...

Hi everybody,       In the evening after watching the last conference session, on Oct 5th, Dad and I spent a couple of hours with Grandma and Grandpa, watching some old, home movies with them. They were some old reel to reel movies that had been put on VHS.  Some were from Grandpa's days in the army, then a bunch from when your Dad was a little boy...you think he's cute now; you've got to see him when he was about a year old!  Oh, my goodness!  Grandpa's and Grandma's grandparents were in some!  One of my favorites was when Grandpa Christensen grabbed Grandma Christensen and hugged her as she was walking by...it's the cutest thing. It was probably in about 1956. We're hoping to get the movies put on DVD very soon.      October 10th, Gran and I took Emma to Elko, so she could stay and help Dixie for a week, since potato harvest was extended because of all the rain. Anyhow, on the way home, we stopped in Twin Falls ...
