Family is Everything... V O T E on this Election Day
As (Walt's) Grampa Bide, and (Walt's Mom) Grama Jane, and my Mom - Grama A would say:
I think Walt's Dad was a Republican, but he wasn't as vocal about it.I didn't ever hear my (Mom's parents) Grampa 'n Grama Huffaker discuss politics, nor my (Dad's Mom) Grama Albertson. (My Dad's father) Grampa Albertson I never knew during his life time, even though he lived until Iwas age 16 in Albion, Idaho about65 miles from Wendell, Idaho where I lived.I do know my Dad was a democrat becausehe used to think the unions helped theworking man, until he found out theydidn't keep their word about hisbenefits when he retired.And that is the end of mylittle soapbox dramathis election day.5 days later this "may" be the outcome...Nov 8: News Updates
TO
I went to the oral dentist this morning.Dr. Christopher Burton pulled out two teeth (#5 #6) on the top rightof my eye-tooth bridge tooth. The #5 tooth that has been holding thisbridge for 69 years has developed a cavity and infection has gone upinto my gum. The #6 tooth is okay, but has been filled several times and may turn bad in a year or two, so he felt it should come out also,and put in two implants, plus build a new bridge. Sometimes masksare a good thing when it covers a toothless smile. ....before
...after. Too bad Halloween is over. I could be a toothless witch.

November 7, 2020 – the big “60”
Here’s a poem about your Grandfather Robins..
Whom you were given his middle name:
Lloyd Rulon Robins – 1911 to 1993
" In our collective memory,
We have a picture of Dad
Fly-fishing—
Line whipping bright against the sun.
He taught us to fish for truth
By the motion of his life,
And on occasion by his finer
Defining eddies in the stream.
He surrounds us.
We swim amid the currents
Of his expectations
And float in the waters of his faith."
Shawn, we hope you have a
very happy birthday, today
in Rexburg, Idaho.

Family is Everything... 
Trebek revealed in March 2019 that he had been diagnosed with Stage Four pancreatic cancer. “I have lived a good life, a full life and I’m nearing the end of that life,” he told USA Today in October. Sony has confirmed that “Jeopardy!” episodes hosted by Trebek will air through Dec. 25, and his last day in the studio was Oct. 29. “Jeopardy!” is not announcing plans for a new host at this time.
“Today we lost a legend and a beloved member of the Sony Pictures family,” said Tony Vinciquerra, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. “For 37 amazing years, Alex was that comforting voice, that moment of escape and entertainment at the end of a long, hard day for millions of people around the world. He was the heart and soul of ‘Jeopardy!’ and he will be deeply missed by everyone who made him part of their lives. Our hearts go out to Jean, Matthew, Emily and Nicky.”

The Saratoga Springs 3rd Ward had a real Sacrament Meeting which was also on Zoom. Bishop Ted Mardesich presided and conducted. He shared some thoughts about Pres. Nelson's General Conference talk after Michael and Krista spoke.
Then in the Relief Society zoom meeting, 39 sisters logged in. The Relief Society Presidency was changed last Sunday, so today, the new President, Chelsea, who had been the second counselor in the out-going presidency, had both presidencies bear their testimonies.
Sister Val Green thanked everyone for supporting her during the five years she served. She said how much she has learned from each Sister. Her first counselor, Stephanie Howell, shared her thanks and her testimony. She said she's a "murmurer" but she learned why they focused their entire last year on "ministering" in Relief Society.
Sister Smith said since she shared her testimony last Sunday when she was sustained, she had her first and second counselors, and secretary share their testimonies.
The new SS 3rd Ward Relief Society is: Chelsea Smith, president; Kathie Hatch, 1C; Sterrett, 2C; Laura Hunter, secretary. -
