Today Walt and I slept in, had a ham 'n eggs breakfast, did some work around the house, ran errands, had a hot dog supper, had family home evening by reading through the Sunday School lesson #12 on obedience Genesis 40-45, watched the end of the movie "Barabbas" which we started last night, did a little computer work then went to bed.
I did not take one photo. We have decided it's a good thing we love each other so much and are best friends. We love to be together and in our elderly years we are together a lot.
Photo of foot, then 24 hours later...
Then someone came and offered to take a photo of all four of us together...

We had spare ribs and baked potatoes for supper, saving the German Chocolate cake (Steve's favorite) for a treat when we got home later. Then we went to the Spring Concert for the Magic Philharmonic Orchestra.

Before I tell about our day I'm going to share the obituary of my Uncle David Huffaker, one of my Mom's older brothers.
Today is 100 years since he was born.
Simpson David Huffaker, Jr. who went by David.
This photo is from 1942 when he was age 24.
Former Alaska resident Simpson David Huffaker
Jr., 79, of Mountain Home, Idaho, died at home July 30, 1997.
A service was held Aug. 2, 1997, at the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mountain Home. Burial was at the Wendell
Cemetery in Wendell, Idaho.
Mr. Huffaker was born April 3, 1918, in Rigby,
Idaho, the second son of Simpson David [Dave] and Ella Louise Morris Huffaker.
He served in the U.S. Air Force during World
War II in the China Theater from 1941 to 1945.
He married Leona Barton and one daughter,
Sharon, was born to them. They divorced in 1948.
He returned to Idaho and married Enid Jones in
1950. He owned and operated automobile body shops in Idaho before he and his
wife moved to Anchorage in 1975.
He worked for the civil service here until a
stroke forced him to retire in 1989.
For the next three years, he and his wife
traveled around the United States, visiting 42 of the Lower 48 states before
returning to Mountain Home.
Mr. Huffaker is survived by his wife, Enid of Mountain Home; children, Sharon Emmot of Susanville, Calif., Carol of Sunset, Ore., David of Fairbanks and Michael of Nampa, Idaho; brothers, Morris of Gooding, Idaho and Donald of Sugar House, Utah; sisters, Verna Albertson of Gooding, Idaho; Lorraine Christenson of Middleton, Idaho; and Eleanor Harmon of Boise, Idaho; 12 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents and
one daughter, Patti.
Arrangements were with Summers Funeral Homes,
McMurtrey Chapel in Mountain Home, Idaho.
Diane Woodhouse said she thought we were being taken to the "next level up" and a weeding out process has intensified.
We all feel that Russell M. Nelson is truly the living Prophet for the whole earth.
Here's a summary of the General Conference from March 31 and April 1...
Tonight was the annual "High Priests' Quorum" stake dinner for the Burley Idaho West Stake.
We sat by our friends D. and Karen Taylor,
and Rollo and Gladys Harrison.
A quartet of Burley High School sang some old-time songs with great harmony. I think they said they call themselves "The Harmonicas." Second from the right is Tyler Garrett from our ward. They were outstanding.
When Pres. Chad Jones gave his remarks he started with: "I guess this is a last supper." [Most of you know it was announced at General Conference that the High Priests' and Elders are being reorganized into one Melchizedek Quorum. He had this picture shown on the wall:
Kerry Arritt came over to talk with us at the end of the program.
Here's how Linda Scheirs foot is looking now.
Linda Steiner Schiers added 2 new
photos — feeling positive at Portneuf Wound Care & Hyperbaric Center.
Footnotes:
Cultures showed no growth of fungal infection, no Staph, no MRSA, no Gram Positive, actually no nada anything! Very good news but really, really weird! I’m a real mystery to them!

The
Doctor stopped my antibiotics yesterday after my bad allergic reaction
(possibly from the silver infused nu-gauze in my wound) and took more tissue
samples today to culture out. They want to see if anything grows without the
antibiotics in my system. The pic on the left is with the silver gauze, the one
on the right 24hrs later.

Today we did a three o'clock session at the Twin Falls Temple.
I took this photo...
Today we walked at CSI then went to Institute.
Walt went in ahead of me while I was picking up the handouts for the day that Sister Blauer puts on a table outside the door of the class room.
When I walked in there were about 4 gals around Walt. They told me he had moved the chair out to sit down, and then missed it, ending up on the floor.
He told me it was like he was falling in s l o w m o t i o n and landed softly on the floor. He was not hurt at all. And was helped back up by four helpful Sisters.
We are thankful for many tender mercies from the Lord each day.

This morning Kathleen came to help us with family history.
She goes in to the original records that are on line in Swedish and helps verify each ancestor's dates and where they lived.
Today Steve came to Burley...left SLC at 3:00, here at 6:00.
Steve helped Dad with a call that came from San Salvador when Jaime Lopez called to tell us he and his wife and two of his sons are flying in to Utah from El Salvador on May 5th and will drive up to Burley to see us on May 6th.
We are very excited about this visit from
these dear friends from our three years
as the temple president and matron of the
San Salvador El Salvador Temple.

The Symphony No. 5 in C minor of Ludwig van Beethoven, Op. 67, was written between 1804–1808. It is one of the best-known compositions in classical music, and one of the most frequently played symphonies.[1] First performed in Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808, the work achieved its prodigious reputation soon afterward. E. T. A. Hoffmann described the symphony as "one of the most important works of the time". As is typical of symphonies in the classical period, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is in four movements.
It begins with a distinctive four-note "short-short-short-long" motif:
![{\clef treble \key c \minor \time 2/4 {r8 g'8[ g'8 g'8] | ees'2\fermata | r8 f'8[ f'8 f'8] | d'2~ | d'2\fermata | } }](https://upload.wikimedia.org/score/r/5/r5dytm3giwx10fefvyfs1qz5794picm/r5dytm3g.png)

He added: "I was mesmerized by this!"
When we were leaving the King Fine Arts Center...this was Steve's first time in this elegant performance building, he said:
"I'm bringing my entire family for the Fall Concert in November."
For an after-concert treat...
Walt makes this look "finger lickin' good..."

We went to Charlie's with Steve this morning to have breakfast:
Steve texted a photo of the empty 'Old Cronies Table,
and told his other siblings that Mom wouldn't let us sit at it.
In a few minutes Steve asked me to turn around.
There were Julie and John at the 'Old Cronies Table.
They were driving by Charlie's just as Steve sent that text.
They were on their way to Glade's daughter's baptism
in Kimberly.
They stopped and ran into Charlies.
(Hope they weren't late to the baptism.)
Now that's a real SERENDIPITY!
(Steve, please send us the photo you took of them at the table.)
On the way out, Walt talked with some past patients who told Steve that his Dad had delivered all of their babies except the one they had when he was gone for three years
as a mission president. (1995-1998)

It's fun to see Walt's patients.
Most of them tell him there will never
be another doctor for them
as good as he was.
It had stopped raining when we came out.
Steve took a photo of us.
Steve and Walt went to buy some light bulbs for Steve
to put in for us. We can't stand on ladders or stools
anymore to replace burned out light bulbs.
Then Steve did about 45-min of work on the computer
for his company before he had to leave.

It's always great to have our kids come,
then always hard to say "Good-bye."
Thanks for coming, Steve.
We loved having you here.
We're still surprised at how much you
loved that concert Friday night.
We do have wonderful talent in our
Mini-Cassia area.

Today
We just found out in Church today that Mary Ann Roskelley has been in the Burley Mini-Cassia Regional Medical Center with blood clots in her legs and lungs. Her three daughters were at Burley 3rd Ward today...Jennifer R. Kennedy from Rexburg; Lori from New York; and Alyson from Jerome. They said their Mom was discharged today from the hospital and is doing better.
Vaughn Egan and his darling wife are back from her home in Alabama (?or maybe it's Georgia?...somehwere in the south) where they live during the winter and now will spend the summer in Burley.
Vaughn said he called Dan Black to see what time our Church block is (he didn't realize we get to stay on the same time always because of the way the Spanish Branch interacts with the 7th Ward), and Dan told Vaughn that he had gotten married a week ago, but he wasn't able to come to Church today because of some problem with his skin now.
Testimonies in our ward today were shared by Bishop Steve Gerratt, Ashley Ludlow, Ashley Ludlow's daughter, Kathy Marker, Chris Kemp, Wendy and Kevin Meadow's young daughter, Dan Crane, a young girl, Eileen Petersen, Walt Petersen, and LaRae Crane. (LaRae has been down in bed since Feb. 6....she was in the UofU Med Center for a week or so then recuperated several days at Parkview....she has had respiratory problems with her lungs for years...just couldn't get over this last case of bronchitis that hit her in early Feb.)
We had a great Sunday School lesson taught by Lydon Crane. He asked us to share when revelation helped us in our lives as Joseph of Egypt was helped by revealation to interrupt the Pharoh's dream which caused him to be made #2 in power for Egypt...next only to the Pharoh himself.
I had written in my Scriptures by the section in Genesis that tells about Joseph's brothers coming to Egypt for corn during the famine: "Why was Joseph so tough on his brothers?"
Then I had written: "To set them up to be forgiven."
LaNada Kerbs discussed with us Russell M. Nelson's talk from the April 2017 General Conference: "What Would We Be Without the Book of Mormon?"
We concluded that we would be pretty lost without the doctrines and truths learned from the Book of Mormon.
The testimonies today help strengthen our testimonies that the Church is True!
Jesus Christ is our Savior and his Atonement makes the Plan of Salvation
operational.
Russell M. Nelson is the living Prophet of God for the entire Earth.
Joseph Smith is the Prophet of the Restoration.
The Bible is a Testament of Jesus Christ.
The Book of Mormon is Another Testament of Christ and teaches us
many true doctrines.
Heavenly Father loves each one of us and knows us by name.
We hope you have had a restful, peaceful, and spiritual Sabbath Day.
Of these truths we testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
