Color

Fall was beautiful. The drive to and from town is delightful as the colors changed from greens to vibrant shades of yellow, reds, and oranges. This is a view from our clinic with these beautiful trees. It didn't last long. The leaves are nearly all down now, but the weather has been comfortable.

The newest additions to our family are two Great White Pyranees female dogs. Their job is to watch over the Alpacas. They are loving animals, but they bark alot!!!!!!! This one with Levi is Molly. She is about a year old and weighs in over 80 lbs. The second one is named Gabby, she too is over 80 lbs. She is more shy and reserved. She is the one lying in front of Makenzie. Our family has gotten much smaller in some ways, and grown in others.

27 Years of Joy!

Ken & I celebrated our anniversary going to the St. Louis, MO Temple. It is beautiful, as they all are. We were able to do family sealings, work we've been working on all year. Our new ward celebrated with us since it was the ward Temple Day. We then spent the next day at the cannery, canning supplies for the ward. We have recently been called as the Single Adult Shepherds for our ward. We have 59 on our rolls. After calling all of them, we found there will be updating the ward records. One sister on the list had been married for 10 years. Today we were called to be Institute Instructors for our ward. Since we have a University here in Mountain Home, we will have surrounding areas joining us. The adults want a class too, so we teach them also. We're calling them, "Seasoned Adults" since some do not like the "Mature" title. We are looking forward to this new challenge.

Ken and I were able to take 8 youth to the temple yesterday and do baptisms. What a wonderful blessing temples are. Be grateful when a temple is so close to you.
