 TCM showed 24 hours
of patriotic movies today.
We watched a couple of them
and recorded some to watch later.

John and Julie had an afternoon BBQ.
Julie's quote from face book.

"It was freezing but we were determined to be out on the lake anyway. Also, we had John’s family for a BBQ and I didn’t take a single picture! I sure love being with family and our conversations. We learn a lot about each other ðŸ™‚and our bonds grow deeper and stronger. What a wonderful day!"

 Marci helped Walt start the day.
 Karen came to check Walt.
His blood pressure was 144/78,
so that's good.
Riggy likes Grampa's treat drawer.
Right now it has Tootsie Rolls in it.

Steve and Natalie's home after.
Rigdon was in 7th Heaven
sitting by Kimble.
Carter's friends came to
be with him.
 Jacee will follow her cousin in
two years, graduating in 2021.
Kelsey, Carter's sister, was there.
She and Cortney are always
so supportive of their brothers.
Carter's Smith grandparents 
are always very supportive, too.
Bert and Peggy drove down yesterday
from their home in Holbrook, Idaho.
 Too much light from the windows
to show Jackson, Natalie, and Julie.
 Thanks, Gary, for driving us to
the graduation, and around the
BYU campus and where I lived
in 1959-1961 when I was a
student at Brigham Young University.

 Carter stood by his "graduation shrine"
fo a picture with the poster Kimble
held up when Carter came out
in the recessional.
 Carter, you are so talented, and
a wonderful young man.
He is planning to work this summer.
He is filliing out his mission papers
to leave in the fall.

Janice said about her 70th birthday party on May 31, 2019:
“I can’t wrap my mind around being age 70! 
What a wonderful party!
All four of my children were there and
it is not that often we are all together.
Also, my sister, Eileen, and members
of her family were there which was great.
My children's spouses and many of my grandchildren were there, and
I always love being with them.
A handful of friends came from the Orem
Neighborhood we had all lived in years ago.
(I actually lived in that house 27 years.)
Thank you all for coming!
Thanks you, Vickie and Carl for hosting
this fun party."




 The month of Summer is beginning... 
Goodbye May...

Buds're bustin' outa bushes
And the rompin' river pushes
Ev'ry little wheel that wheels beside the mill!

Hev been huggin' the bejeepers
Outa all the mornin'-glories on the fence.

Because it's June!

 Just because it’s June, June, June!♪♫”

{3} ♪♫June is bustin’ out all over!♫♪♫♪
The ocean is full of Jacks and Jills,
With her little tail a-swishin'
Ev'ry lady fish is wishin'
That a male would come
And grab her by the gills!

Because it's June! June, June, June
           Just because it’s June, June, June!♪♫”

  Fresh and alive and gay and young
 June is a love song, sweetly sung

   And my sister's even lunier,
   And my ma is gettin' kittenish with Pap.

Family is Everything…
  This sweet little boy helped
Walt down the hall and out the door
of the Church today.
Julie said he is their neighbor.

 *** *** ***
We are so thankful for The Plan of Salvation
and the Atonement of  Jesus Christ
that makes this Great Plan operational.
At the end of this June 2nd,
we pray you have had a
restful , peaceful, and spiritual
Sabbath Day...

We share these truths as our testimony to you...

Heavenly Father lives and knows us each by name. He loves us and wants us to return to Him and Heavenly Mother when we leave this mortal existence.  He loves us just as we are at this very moment.
*** *** ***
Jesus Christ came to earth as The Only Begotten of the Father and fulfilled the Atonement. He is the Redeemer of all. 
*** *** ***
Joseph Smith was foreordained to be the Prophet of the Restoration.  He is the Restorer of all things.
*** *** ***
President Russell M. Nelson is the Living Prophet today for all the world. 
*** *** ***
The Bible is "the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly" and is a Testament of the Divinity of Jesus Christ.
*** *** ***
The Book of Mormon is the Word of God and is Another Testament of Jesus Christ. It is the most correct book of any book on earth.
*** *** ***
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the True Church on the earth today.  
*** *** ***
Of these truths we testify in the Name of Jesus Christ, amen.
