Well once again, I'm always to busy to get a picture of the food spread or pictures ofthe family except for these two. We had 23 family members present this year.
Ten adults & 13 children. It fills up my home. We had lots of yummy food, good
visiting & being surrounded by family is the best & contemplating our bounteous
blessings!! Thank you for being such a great family!! Oh & we had some fun playing
a good ole game of Croquet afterwards. It's sort of a family tradition now!! That or
Bocce!!
FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
For the beauty of the earth,
For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon and stars of light,
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild,
Lord of all to thee we raise
This our hymn, of grateful praise.
I'm thankful for all of the above!! I led our women's choir in this hymn for our ward
conference sacrament meeting & was pleased it turned out well. And helping out with
Ashley's family & baby Evalyn. And that's what I've been doing lately!! I also just
passed indexing 15,000 names for family search indexing & well on my way to 16,000
mark. My goal was 5,000. So wow! I guess it's become a habit now!!
