Cape Cod home again.

On Friday Pam and I flew into Philadelphia and then had to set on the tar mack for 3 hours because of storms in the area. Then we flu into Boston and rented a car and drove to Cape Cod and spent the night at a really nice Motel near the Bourne bridge. The next day we went to Buzzards Bay and visited the towns of Sandwich where we used to live and then on to Falmouth and found the Branch that Paris was the Branch President in about 1962-64. at that time the members of the ward raised half of the money to build the ward building . The small ward worked very hard to get the money and bought a beautiful piece of land that was on a hill overlooking the water. When we had raised enough money by selling 140 dozen eggs a week and cleaning houses on base. We contacted church headquarters and they told us we had to get other land as the place we had was too small to build a 3 phase building on. The people of the ward were really up set by this and Paris was really worried about the church being built in the right place. We found a beautiful spot and we had at least 3 different trips where we took the mission president, the official from Salt Lake and each time as we traveled the road to see the property, the property was not recognized and then they would go look again and it was the same spot that had been looked at before but not recognized. What I'm trying to say is that when we are asked to do something by the church leaders and we do our best to follow the Lord will guide us to the right place. The building was built on that piece of property and its a beautiful building.We went to church there last Sunday.

Mexico I'm checking out town after town.

This trip was to Cancun and we arrived there on Tuesday and then on Wed. we traveled by bus to visit the Maya Temple Runs and we were so blessed to have an LDS Guide and he told us about the area as we know of the area from the Book of Mormon. It is beautiful there and we had a wonderful day it sets on the ocean and if you know you bring your bathing suit and have a wonderful swim. We were able to go to a all inclusive resort and it was a great time . Loved my Tan

Miss Arizona what a fun time

On Tuesday the 18th picked up our new cars from Nissan that they loaned us (Rhonda & I) to pick up the judges and take them around for the week of the pageant . What fun. We took them out to breakfast each morning about 9 and then out to dinner about 4:30 as we had to be at the pageant by 6PM. And they picked a beautiful Miss Arizona ( Savanna Troupe Miss Maricopa County. For those who don't know the judges pay their own way here and are not payed for their hard job of finding the right girl. The pageant could not take place with out all the volunteers and their work. I'm so proud of my family who do so much. The gifts for the judges made by Pam, the Decorating by Pam and Vanessa, The Goodies made by Chef Devon, and his crew of servers for the VIP reception, who where my Grandchildren and their husbands. In this picture the 3 young girls are daughters of the judges. Can't wait till next time.
