End of Summer Vacation

Clifford and I did another house project this week that we need to finish on Monday. I decided it was time for Clifford to get good shelves on his side of the garage so we used the others as models and scrounged around the house and grounds and found enough wood to make the frame. We just need to by some plywood for the shelves themselves. I hope this will clean up the garage again and put everything in a proper place. I have had nice shelves for many years and put food storage and household things in them.

I have really enjoyed reading the blogs and e-mails. James and Mandy your new home looks wonderful. I love the hardwood floors, the yard, The white farmer's porch and all the pictures. I am glad you have a fire place too in case of emergencies. I bet you are really excited to have a home of your own. It is really really nice. We are so excited for you. I loved Lily's idea of "putting a person's letter on paper and that means you love them." Sweet words of love from the children, no wonder the Savior knew how important they are.

This is the last week of summer school and I start back to work at the library on Monday for a few hours each day.

Our missionaries will transfer this week and Elder Shivley(left side) will stay and Elder McCord (right side) who has been here since March right out of the MTC is going to Porterville. Elder Shivley will be training a new missionary. It is so fun to see them grow in experience and love of the gospel. It is fun to talk with them about the gospel and missionary work. Elder Shivley is the district leader and will be a trainner for this next transfer. We also have a new mission president this Month so a lot of changes.

Adam Hightower got married this weekend and we went to his reception last night. All these kids have grown up in the ward and are doing so well. Our kids remember him as a little boy.

Life has been good this week. Our garden is growning and almost done. We have had cucumbers, yellow summer squash, tomatoes, carrots, green beans. It is nice to have a chance to try to raise things and to have learned these skills from parents at home. Thanks to Mom and Dad Clatworthy who were hard workers and good examples to us.
