Today I saw the "goal" below on our great-niece's blog.  Rebecca Bunn Vipperman is outstanding in all ways.  We'd like to share this "goal" from her blog as something we could all use as a goal in our lives.

Becky, we love you and your husband and your three darling children.  We are happy to have you back in Idaho - and not just anywhere in Idaho, but in our beloved hometown of Wendell.

goal:

To live content with small means-- to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich-- to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart--to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely--await occasions, never hurry; in a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconcious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

-William Ellery Channing
"My Symphony"

I have never read this before.  It is great.

Walt and his brother at the temple today.
Walt and me at the temple today.
 We went to Maxie's for dinner.
 Connie got to come to dinner with us.
 We went to the Stake Cultural Activity 
which was a Performance giving tribute
to the Trek our Stake went on to
Martin's Cove this past August.
I didn't get any photos of the performance,
but Walt got to talk with our good friend,
Bob Beck, after. 
We have good memories of working with 
Bob and Gayle in the Singles' Ward back
in 2000-2004.
 I
 Our stake president's wife, Bonnie,
and daughter Kristie came out just then.
 
The King Fine Arts Center is
such a wonderful place for these
big productions.

Today we went to the funeral 
for Lavera Ship.

She was buried at Pleasant View
 
Gary and Deborah Jones 
were her home teachers in 11th Ward.


 Some of her Burley 3rd Ward friends...
Bonnie Hansen, Kathleen Hedberg, Ruth
Melling, and Michelle Gerratt.
 This shows the beautiful white casket.
 They took a photo of
Walt and me.
 I loved her white casket.
 
Lavera was an  R.N. and gave
much service in her life.
 We went to Institute after the funeral.
 Sister Blauer has great ideas to
focus on the lesson.
These golden coins had the scripture
for today's lesson to focus on 

We went to the viewing of
Robert "Randy" Head who is
the adopted Dad of Teresa Miller,
whom LaRae and I visit teach.


As it turns out, his wife's mother is 
a niece of my Aunt Hazel Owens Huffaker.
Small world!

"They say a Wendell boy

is hard to beat,

He's got a hundred per

from head to feet.

He's got a smile, a

style, a winning way,

No matter where you go

you'll recognize him and

you'll say:

Now there's a boy

I'd like to know,

He's got the good

ol' Wendell pep and go!'

No matter where you go

you'll always know

a Wendell boy."
