May 3/May 17




This is the Stenchcomb chapel, it was established in 1794. Our Judges husband is the minister of it. I love the little cemeteries around the churches here.
The other picture is of Paul doing what he loves. Browsing through a yard/junk store. You would not believe all the yard sales they have around here. As soon as the sun is out so does the STUFF.!!!!

Today is Sunday 3 May. Where did April go to? We are listening to the TV and there is a Tornado warning for some of the area. Wow crazy we have 80's then we have tornado warning. Life here is good.


The past week we have been traveling back and forth to Elberton to do imaging. It is really getting beautiful. The sky is so blue, the fields that we pass through are now all green with grasses, hay and many types of flowers. Everything looks like something out of a peaceful setting that maybe Keith would want to paint.


We went to a Chords of Faith concert last night it is a group of Latter day Saints that have to audition out and they perform around the Atlanta area. They sang songs to Celebrate Spring. Pretty soon we will be saying celebrating summer! Where is the time going.

My sister Shauna called and told me that Uncle Dean had passed away last week. I was sorry to hear about that. Aunt Jolene has always been an example to me of a grand lady. She has always kept busy and goes about doing good and helping others. She is also quite the quilter.I'm sure she will miss him.


I received a email from my sister Shauna, her son was in a bad accident when he was doing lineman work and was burned. She said that he was burned with 2nd degree burns but that he had faith all would be well. He has a cute family. I guess we always need to be thankful for all that we have. Suzanne wrote a beautiful tribute to her family after the accident. She is a strong young wife and mother and Greg is a fine young man and good father, I'm sure the Lord will watch over them.

On our way to work we come upon a lot of fun things, I have never seen so many people who have yard sales. Just about every other house will have a sign in their yard. Not only are there signs but there is also little run down houses, or buildings that have STUFF for sale and some of it looks like really (you know how he is) but luckily we do not have room for anything but what we have already, and some of that will be going to goodwill when we find somwhere to move to up in Elberton.


We stayed in Elberton overnight on Thursday, and drove up to Hartwell, another small town. Beautiful lakes and camping areas in that area. We are looking for an apartment in that town, Athens, as there is nothing in Elberton at this time. It is so small. However we did find out from the Elders that they do have a small ward house, we have yet to explore it. But we will next week.

Paul discovered a beautiful golf course not far from where we are imaging on a place called Lake Russell. Acres of golf, and no homes by it. Rolling hills so I guess we will be looking for Becky to send us his driver and putter, maybe me to. We will need to try it or at least go to the range.

Well here it is the 17 of May. And I noticed I had not posted the other one from 3 May yet. I better get on the ball. We have been quite busy. Driving each day and working. last week we helped train a church employee who is from Tennessee to work on the camera along with our supervisor Tony Rielly. It went very well. We are still taking the missionaries for lunch. I will tell you going out to eat 5 days in a row is not good on the waist line. It must end.Thank goodness for Monday as you can always start over on MOnday.
We will be moving to Elberton sometime this week. It is a small one bedroom apartment I will post pictures when we get moved. But it is only 2 blocks away from our work place so we can walk there and get some exercise. Plus we will workout in the little facility in our building also that should help. Now if we can get the elbows to quit bending to feed us it will help.
We have enjoyed our drive but it is time to get moving again. 3 months and 2 weeks is not long. We figured now is the time to move rather than wait for 6 weeks then it may be too hard to find anywhere. So here we go!!!! New adventures.
