Another busy week

At FHE for two weeks we tied a quilt. Doug made the quilt frames and we got some fabric put it on the frames and taught many at FHE to tie a quilt. Like an airhead, I forgot to take pictures of everyone around the quilt. Doug and I went back the next night to finish tying it and then I bound the edges. We made two of them that will go to the McCunes little girls. They are the family living in the Motel and will be moving into an new apartment this week. The weather has turned cold and they will be really warm in their new quilts. Matching top side but the bottom of the quilts are different, one purple and one orange.
We had about 12 people around the quilt tying it. Lisa, our new member asked if I would help her make some for her little boys for Christmas.
Loving being in the woods and behind a chain saw.

Frank Diaz spent 4 hours splitting wood. Frank went to the airport Saturday to fly home to Chile where his family is waiting for him. They have been living here in Monticello for the past while. We will miss you and your family, how blessed we are to know that friendships can be eternal too.

I love it!
We spent several days cutting wood again this week. A member Frank Diaz came and helped split wood along with the Elders. We traveled down with the Farnsworths to the mission home for a couples luncheon. The Howells in the Public Relations office in the 2nd floor of the Manhattan temple building are headed home. In the last month we welcomed in two new couples, the Farnsworths that are up in our Zone and the Kigens who are in the employment center on 14th street in Manhattan. We are truly blessed to rub shoulders with all of these awesome Senior couples. After the luncheon we took the Farnsworths down to the city to drive around and show them where Lagardia airport is as they have family coming to see them in November. A drive down to time square and past the temple was a must.

Sunday we traveled down to Middletown for the Marriage Relationship class we teach every three weeks. We had a real treat as it was the primary program in that ward. They have about 35 kids in their primary. A couple of the songs were sung in Spanish as there are many in that ward who speak little English. One of the Sacrament prayers was said in Spanish. There was such a sweet spirit in the meeting as the kids shared the theme: "I am a child of God."

During the primary program there was this sweet newborn baby whimpering during some of the program. My thoughts went back to home as I know how I have missed holding the new little ones that have joined our family.

And of course we have enjoyed all the beautiful colors of fall as we have traveled much this week.
