Ok, It worked, I am so impressed. The first picture was taken at the Luxor Temple and the second one needs no explanation. Now for the Jerusalem pictures. Dome of the Rock, and where the soldiers gambled for Christ's cloak. We are looking forward to hearing all about their exciting vacation when we gather at their home for Thanksgiving. It would be great if the whole family could be together for that day. We have so much to be thankful for and I wish all of you everywhere a very happy day. Eat lots, repent later if necessary.

If I am lucky there will be one more picture of Bert included here. He has been recovering from an operation to remove rocks and a toy from his stomach. What a delightful dog, he is a bundle of $$$$ going out the window each and every day.

Uncle Jay has been in the hospital due to another stroke. Thankfully this one was a small one and he is home now. He is still seeing double, taking his medications and trying to behave. A week before, Susie had arranged a big party for his 80th birthday. He was so happy to have his family all come at different times so he could get a chance to visit with them.

Life is very busy, or I am getting a lot slower, the days seem to have fewer hours in than they used to. I am trying to get used to being in Young Women again. It has been over 20 years since I last taught the Laurels. I tried to counsel the bishop, but he remained set in his decision. I had forgotten how many extra activities went along with the calling, but I am catching on fast.

So much for now I must watch "Dancing With The Stars" Be Happy
