THIS WEEK-
OCTOBER 7-13, 2019
Family is Everything…
We bicycled today...
...30 minutes.
We're lucky to have such
a great club house so close.
We then got some Chinese food
at Panda Express.
Walt had brocolli-beef with rice,
and I had orange chicken with
chow mein.
We do this about once a month.
Then we ate at this picturesque
park just north of our home.
We had FHE at Duntson's home
"Becoming Spiritually Centered"
DVD lectures by
James B. Cox quoting the
Prophets and the Scriptures.

What a fun time at Gardner Village...
Thanks, Julie, for taking us there.
This evening...
We had dinner at Denny's with
David, Will, Maddie, and Rigdon.
Thanks, David for bring Will,
and always being so generous.
We shared stories about what
Grampa Walt did with his friends
on Halloween
when he was in high school...
like putting a goat in a
policeman's car;
putting another goat in the
girls' bathroom at the
Wendell High School.
(Somehow they got a key...so at
least they didn't break in to
the school.)
They also hooked a bicycle to
the flagpole in front of the
high school and hoisted it
to the top of the pole.
Will's question was:
"Grampa, where did you get your
inventory of goats?"

His blood pressure and heart

weak and he cannot walk
without the walker.

We watched a 1941 Film Noir
From Wikipedia...
"The Maltese Falcon is a 1941 film noir directed and scripted by John Huston in his directorial debut, based on Dashiell Hammett's 1930 novel of the same name. It stars Humphrey Bogart as private investigator Sam Spade and Mary Astor as his femme fatale client. Gladys George, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet co-star, with Greenstreet appearing in his film debut. The story follows a San Francisco private detective and his dealings with three unscrupulous adventurers, all of whom are competing
to obtain a jewel-encrusted falcon statuette.
We always enjoy our movie nights with Gary...
We are going to end October's movie nights
with "Frankenstein," "Bride of Frankenstein," and
"World War Z"...

and Riggy come to see us
in our cozy corner cottage.
Max gives a little bark to let
Walt know he is there...

something with him.

Walt most always does.
We drove over to bicycle.
It's about a seven minute
drive for us from our north end
of the residential area to the
newer club house on the
southern end.

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 October 13th,
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.

Sometimes when people see
us each with a walker they ask:
"Do you race each other?"
