To Utah & Idaho for 10 days...

Our temple is closed for its semi-annual two-week maintenance and cleaning, so we have flown to Utah, then driving to Idaho to be with 5 of our 7 families...

Gary  and three of his kids were at the airport for our 11:30pm landing, and drove us to Saratoga Springs...

Here's Gary & Kathy, McKell, Abbey, Jacob, and Isaac when we gathered on Sunday, March 4.

Here's the ones I got a photo of Sunday evening.

I forgot to get a group photo before some of the others had left.



We gathered again on Monday evening, March 5, for a pizza supper and had a great lesson on

"Posterity" by Gary. He asked for definitions of what "posterity" means, then explained that all of us together tonight were the posterity of

Great Grama 'A'

and also of

Grama 'n Grampa Petersen.

He had each one fill out a 4-generation pedigree chart...

They all learned that Grama 'A's' full name is

Verna Beth Huffaker Albertson,

and that our names are

Walter Ray Petersen

and

Eileen Marie Albertson Petersen.

He showed that on the 35th generations back that they were related to Kings in England and Scotland.

Here is everyone at the Monday Family Home Evening...

I don't think I've loaded yesterday's photos yet.

(To be finished later.

I've torn the muscle behind my knee and am

needing to ice it with it up on a pillow.

It's hurting a lot.)
