Another year has come and gone. You think there’s nothing new in your life but as you try to recall a whole year’s happenings there really has been a lot going on in all of our lives.
My
greatest blessing is having Logan and Jase out in the mission field. I am so
grateful for the inspiration they are to me. Just writing to them, makes me
want to live a better live. Logan is in Amarillo and Jase is in NE Albuquerque.
They are very strong in spirit missionaries. I’m sure their parents will tell
you more about them. Time is going so fast. They’ll be home before we know it.
Katie is coming down to see me this weekend. She is such
a sweet and fun girl. She says, “Now Grams, don’t do any cleaning, I’ll do it
all when I get there.” Heavens, I couldn’t let her do all that.. Everyone
living her is so old. I don’t even think about it until my 19 year old
granddaughter is coming.
It’s been a busy year down here. I am the Single’s
leader. It is quite involved and takes time. I do enjoy it however. We have put
on two big shin digs this year. One at Christmas and a Mexican Fiesta the last
part of January.
We have chorus three times a week. I am in charge of
getting all the words for the music we sing run off and passed out to the
members. We sing some of the songs of mother and dad’s generation. We put on
about four programs a year. One big one in February. Called Hee Haw. I do enjoy
singing the songs mother sang to us when we lived in the old house. Today we
were learning Easter Parade.
Years
ago when Dad was in charge of the Easter Program he insisted that we sing this
song. It was a popular song not a hymn but he wanted it sung. Him, being the
Superintendent of the Sunday School.. he won out and that fun song was sung.
I
guess my gardening days are all but over. However, I do have currants,
raspberries, rhubarb and strawberries growing in the garden. If I can just keep
the weeds from strangling the plants, I might see fit to water them.
Last
years reunion up at Newell and Sally’s was a very nice event. They opened their
arms and all the energies they could muster and showed us a royal good time.
Their country is beautiful and I enjoyed being there once again. Newell had
been very sick before we got there but on the second day he miracously got better
and drove the boat the entire day for all the fun actives they had planned.
Canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, and swimming was enjoyed by many. This old
lady had to sit and watch but that was fun also. Thanks so much Newell and
family for such a great time.
October saw me and a school teacher friend of mine off on
a on a Bryan Judd Tour. We went to New York “Boston, Portland and Bar Harbor,
Maine. After that we headed for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Canada. The U.S.
cities had on my bucket list for years. The Canadian visit was frosting on the
cake. Every place we stopped had something wonderful to see. Too numerous to
mention. A cute little town in Canada with houses all painted in pastel colors
and adorable landscaping stands out in my mind. Also, the Metropolitan Museum;
of Art in New York was outstanding.. The page is ending and so am I. My love to
all of you.. especially, Sophia, Sawyer and Stockton. Hope to see you all at
the reunion Love, Nadean
