Well, we started the day with "Conference Casserole" and company. Thought because Conference didn't start until noon, our time, we would have the senior sisters and the Hartmans over for brunch. Also the Lemons who are Elder Hartman's cousins son, wife and 2-yr. old son,Caleb.They live in our apartment complex and just finished school at BYU and got a job here in Cleveland.They go to the Lakewood Ward. We had casserole, ham and bacon, raspberry muffins, orange rolls, juice, fresh fruit and good company.
I typed this once but forgot to save while dad was trying to send pictures.
Was so great to listen to conference and get our batteries recharged so to speak. I always enjoy President Eyring. He is so humble and you can just feel of his spirit. Looking forward to hearing from President Monson and Ucthdorf. Dad said there were really some awesome talks at the priesthood session last night. It didn't start until 8 pm our time, so was 10:30 pm before he got home last night.
Spring is bursting out all over. Crocus, daffodils and tulips are blooming everywhere. They say that there is a cemetery here that is just covered with daffodils. Guess it is quit the site to see. Trees are budding out so should be in full array in a couple of weeks. We have been watching a magnolia tree outside our window at the archives. It started out with buds like a pussy willow, then leaves and now the magnolias are just ready to open. I have always wanted to go to the South to see them, but now dad said we don't have to go because they are all over here. He doesn't want to go because it is hot there. But I still want to see the mossy trees, plantations and of course go eat at Paula Dean's restaurant. It is supposed to snow this weekend hopefully the blossoms won't freeze. I would like to get a picture of them.
We have a busy week again coming up. Tuesday I am fixing lunch for everyone at the archives, Wednesday a meeting, Thursday working at the Family History center, Friday we are going to Kirtland for a special Good Friday fireside at the Kirtland temple given by Brother Carl Anderson (an authority on church history in Kirtland and the surrounding area from CES) and the Community of Christ Church and then on Saturday morning at 7am we are going to Hermitage, PA, with the Hartmans to move some missionaries. Then Sunday everyone is coming here for Easter Dinner.
We started shift work last Monday and Dad has been doing some imaging. He said he is glad he doesn't have to do it for 8 hours straight as it gets pretty boring. He did 2365 images in the 11.5 hours he worked on them. At least, with doing document preparations and indexing there is a little variety. We now start at 9:30 am and work until 6pm. Gives us a little time in the morning to do a few things before we head in.
