TODAY we drove to

Today we drove to Twin Falls for Walt to have an MRI.

A small, benign cyst was seen on his pancreas.  That is

very good news.

We had lunch at the Sizzler...using the gift card Janice and Jeff gave us at Christmastime.

We Tonight we had a great Burley 3rd Ward

Relief Society Birethday Dinner.

Bonnie Fronk and her committee served delicious salads,

thai chicken dish, rolls, and strawberry short cake.

They also had a fun quiz for which several sisters received

fun prizes for knowing all about the origins of the

longest-standing women' organization in the world--

The Relief Society - organized March 17, 1842

Bishop Steve Gerratt came in at the end

and gave us some pertinent closing remarks.

 The sisters sat at the table of their birthday month

for which they had brought an item to decorate that table.

it is true...

"charity never faileth"

We went to Andy Wilson's funeral today.  His sons and grandsons were very powerful in sharing Andy's love for the Savior, Jesus Christ, and His Atonement.

Then we drove to Twin Falls and did a 3:00 p.m. session at the temple.  A couple who were visiting here from California took a photo for us (my camera battery was dead). He had grown up in Murtaugh but had not been back for 40 years.

He was delighted to have learned that there was a temple in Twin Falls now.  I told them it had been dedicated in August 2008.  

I had not realized that our Twin Falls Temple will have it's 10th anniversary in August of this year.   So we have had four temple presidents in that time: President Rex Gerratt, President Karl Nelson, President Brad Hobbs, and now President Paul Young.  What great blessings we have had to be so close to this beautiful Twin Falls Temple during the past ten years.

After the session we had dinner at Shari's where they serve a free piece of pie on Wednesdays.  Walt chose berry, I chose cherry...(and, yes, I figured it into my daily carbs, etc.)




We got home at 7:30 and had a peaceful evening. Walt and i watched the 1953 movie: "The Last Time I Saw Paris."  We had forgotten it had a tear-gerker ending.  (March has had Elizabeth Taylor as the Star of the Month.)

A serendipity this morning was when Glenn Ramsey came by and gave us a copy of the newly printed

SaturDAY, MARCH24, 2018

A serendipity today was that we got to talk with a

good friend while grocery shopping at Smiths.

Margo Williams was in our ward for several years.

She has been a widow for a while, but still

lives at home here in Burley.

We drove to Oakley this evening to see "Walking Happy."

Wendell Wells was one of the main characters who was over a shoe shop in Salford, an industrial town in Lancashire, England in 1880.

Each part was very well cast.

Several older men were also in the cast and did an excellent job.

Here Alan Nelson is reaching to shake hands

with that little boy.

Of course, anytime John Craner is in anything, he is GREAT!
Gary Jones, on the right, helped get our car parked right out front to make it easier when we came out.
Deborah Jones was the director. Anything Deborah is over is always outstanding!

We were so happy that we could see this fun Oakley Valley Arts Council spring production.  We look forward to "Annie" which will be July 12-28. Then for the fall they are going to do "White Chrismas" November 1-10.

We went to see Dan Black in the hospital.

His lungs are clear from the pneumonia.

But now there's some problem with his heart.

He introduced us to his intended.

Sarah Elizabeth Hughes came in just as we were ready to leave.

Her son, Sylas, or "Sy" is beside her.  He goes to Mt. Harrison School in Heyburn.

Dan told us he knew he would be criticized for marrying a gal so much younger than he is, but that is his choice.
Sarah is 45, Dan is 81.

We hope Dan will be happy.

He told us they are planning to have the Mayor, Steve Ormond,

perform the marriage as soon as possible when Dan

is out of the hospital.

He said he would even have it performed in the hospital

if they can get their marriage licenses.
