President George Washington's Actual Birthday
Today we worked on our computers to restore the Internet that went off Sunday afternoon.
Family Home Evening was at Ken & Bonnie Fronk's home. The hosts served Salmon and Pork Loin, along with Baked Potatoes. The rest of the pot luck dinner was...
Hot Asian Veggies - Dan Black
Hot Squash baked in brown sugar - Gibbons
Fresh fruit layered in a trifle bowl - Bloxhams
Fresh tossed salad -with dressings on the side - Ormonds
Hot, homemade rolls - Petersens
Strawberry shortcake - McCalls
It was all delicious! We are lucky to have such good cooks in our Empty Nester Neighborhood group of friends.
We missed Ken and Bonnie Hansen. Ken was in Salt Lake for a checkup to follow up the triple bypass he had in January.
And we are missing the Gortons and Roskelleys who have been serving missions since August 2015.
Elder and Sister Gorton are serving in the Greece Mission August 2015-July 2017,
Elder and Sister Roskelley are serving in the Texas Ft. Worth Mission August 2015-February 2017.
The Fronks did the FHE lesson centered around the various holidays and special days in February.
First -- Valentine's Day
Next -- Presidents' Day
Third -- Random Acts of Kindness Week
Fourth -- February 29 ... why is it needed every four years?
What about the future or past...
We enjoy being together

Each ward Relief Society President chose a sister to represent all the sisters in Relief Society 80 and over in their ward.
Each president was allotted 5 minutes to tell about their Sister.

The yellow sheets posted on the wall gave the names of each sister 80 and over by ward. Seventh Ward had the most with 25 sisters.
Amber Grayson, 1st counselor in our Burley Third Ward, (our president LaNada Kerbs was sick) told about Laura Nielson. Our ward had 16 sisters who are 80 and over.
The microphone cord didn't reach far enough for her to stand behind Laura Nielson, who is in the red top with the black sweater.

I tried to get all 7 sisters who were honored but they were already getting up before I could get a photo.

The sister to President Jones' right was signing for the hearing impaired.
Janine Taylor from 1st Ward sang the theme song: "Once Upon a Time." I didn't get a photo of her. I always love to hear Janine sing.
The Stake Relief Society Presidency were too busy to stop for a photo together. I tried to get each one. Here is President Boemer with Ruth Melling.
Here is the second counselor, Wendy Weeks, busy gathering everything from the tables. They planned on serving 300 at the dinner.
They told me Linda Hostein, 1st Counselor, was in the kitchen, but when I went there, I couldn't find her. They said there was quite a lot of food left if any wanted to go fill up any plates for shut ins or themselves.
Here are the 7 sisters at the table where I ate.
Left to right: Ruth Melling, Loretta Peterson, Lily Bell, Kathleen Hedberg, Debbie Pierce, Donna Martell, and Kenna Durfee. Lily, Donna, and Kenna were among the age 80 and over sisters who were honored.
