TIME...
On this blog I share with family and friends my daily thoughts, doings, what interests me, and--at times--tributes to my eternal sweetheart, Walt, who graduated to heaven on 8-21-2020.*All that I am or ever hope to be,I not only owe to my
TIME...
angel mother and father,
...but my wonderful husband,Walter Ray Petersen.
Walt called himself...
"The last of the old-time country doctors."
Walt called himself...
"The last of the old-time country doctors."
He delivered about 4,000 babies, among fixing broken hips, other surgeries, and even made house calls.As Janie said in his obituary:"He healed many hearts, heads, hands, and everything in-between."
In the 1950s you had to be 20 to serve a mission. This is Walt in August 1954, on the day he was set apart in Salt Lake City to be a missionary.
One of Walt's happiest of happy places was as the pilot flying...Our first plane was a piper Cherokee...
Then in a six-seater Cessna high-wing, turbo-charged airplane. Foxtrot 48--something was the call number {he owned with two partners).
We were blessed to serve 4 missions together--First:July 1995-July 1998

Burley Idaho Temple The street in front of the Burley Idaho Temple is now accessible, allowing for photographs of the temple facade and monument sign. Grass sod was laid in the area behind the sign to create a front lawn, while plants beautify the flowerbed on either side of the sign. The temple has been under construction for just over three years, and members are looking forward to an announcement of the open house and dedication dates.
