Have had a busy day. Worked in the garden. Fertlizered the watermelons and turned the vines so we could plow them. Then took Marla to Defuniak to pay her taxes. Found out last night that I have to give a talk in Branch Conference Sunday. I am scared to death about that one. Do not know what I should say.

President Coleman has ask if he can move his trailer out here. I am really confused about what to do. Marla wants to put her one out here and she wanted hers there first so I guess I will have to tell him that he will have to find some where else to put his. Marla was really hurt when she found out that he wanted his there.

I came home and cut grass this afternoon and I am so tired I cant hardly sit here. Now I have to bake a cake for Sunday. Got to get up and get busy. I will be glad when we get some more members here so I can have a break. I am tired of having to do so much all the time. I get very tired anymore.

Had a great trip to the temple with Sister Synder yesterday. There was four of us that went and we had a great trip. Everyone was cordual and we had a smooth trip. It did not rain on us very much and it was just great. When we got home we found out that it had really come a big rain here. We left Paxton at 6 Am and got the Birmingham at 9:30 A M. We stopped at Burger King and changed clothes and went on to the temple. It was such a pleasure to go and have a great spiritual day just so relaxed and wonderful. Did not have to worry about anything. Everyone there could take care of themselves.Brandon Blocker went with us and did some of his Family work and I tried to help him with it but since I was a escort I would not have time to do any of it for him. But he got it done anyway.

Today has been one rainy day. We got about 31/2 inches of rain. We have been shut up in the house all day long.

I have a trip to the temple planned for Wednesday. I sure hope that everything goes good for that one. Sister Synder if going for her first time and I will be her escort. I guess we will have a car full. Sister Miller, Sister Synder,Myself, Prestident Coleman, Brother Blocker, and Jessica Fickett. I have not been in a long time so I hope I can remember everything. I love to go but it is hard for me to leave Charles for the whole day. Michelle has to go to work so she will be leaving at 3 o'clock.

I have some rotessary chicken and peach cobbler for dinner and I am ready to eat it. I have been ironing all day so I am tired of that. I now have to do my Relief Society lesson for tomorrow. I will be glad when I can get some counslor. I need some help

Have had a very busy week. It was good but busy. Sunday was Mother's Day and I heard from all the kids. Marla and Michelle had dinner with me. I also got a message from Elder Weight who served his mission here in 1990 and 1991. He was coming to Pensacola and wanted me to come down and meet him and have dinner with him. So Michelle and I left here about 7 o'clock and went to Pensacola and had dinner with him. It was such fun to see him after all these year. He was such a wonderful person when he was here and I am sure that he still is. He says that he wants to come back and bring his wife and childern to visit. That would be fun.


Wed morning I took Michelle to the doctor and went to the grocery store. That took until noon, so I had to hurry home and get ready again to go. On Wed night we had a Book Mornon class and that last for a hour and half but it was good. Sister Miller teaches it and she is so smart. I sometimes think that she knows every thing about the church but she says no.

On Thursday we had a metting in Niceville at 7 o'clock and had to pick up Michelle, Joseph, Hazel, Brandon, and Christine. So we had a car full and spent 2 hours in a meeting. I enjoyed mine and I think Michelle did also. But Joseph and Brandon did not need to go so they were a little put out with President Coleman. I think he needs to really start asking questions about who needs to be there.

Then on Friday we were going to plant some more garden but the Chandlers and Akins did not make it. I guess we will do that on Monday. I have company coming next week end and the next week end is Branch Conference. I also have a trip to make to the Temple in Birmingham on the 29th Chris want me to be her Escort. So I guess I will be busy for the next two weeks. I have really got to find some time and decide what to do about Relief Society. I have not had time to pray about anything and I have been to busy to do anything with it. I should not feel that way for I am sure that the Lord is never to busy to here me when I pray.

Got a email from Elder Weight yesterday. He will be in Pensacola on the 12th and 13th of May. I sure hope that I can get Michelle to go with me there to visit with him for a little while. That woud be so much fun I think. To see him after all these years. I have not see him since shortly after Letha and Steve married. He came one time to see me while I was visiting her. That was before he married. he is now 38 years old.

Tomarrow is Mother's Day. I will be teaching Primary. Boy does that bring back memories. I have everything ready just hope that the kids will enjoy it. I miss my Mother so much on days like that. I want to go to the cemetery and put some flowers over there for her, Grandma and Mae. If I can find the time today. We will all get togeather tomarrow for dinner. Hope Doug, Jolyn and the Kids will come also.

We put up and new air conditioner yesterday. I was really tired and my back hurt so bad when we finished. We put it in the top window instead of the lower one and it sure makes a difference in the cooling. I think I will like it much more.

Charles is feeling much better since we turned the air on. He sure was having a lot of trouble with being able to breath. Thank you Father in Heaven for lettin me know that. I will try hard to remember that one next year.

Went to Dotha, Al. today to get a new window air conditioner. Had a good day just took most of the day. We came back by the cemetary where Mrs. Roddenberry is baried then came on down to where Mrs. Clara is barried and Mrs Peoples. ( Nannie) Put some flowers out for all of them. Now I have to get over to Cotton Cemetary and put some on Grannie, Mama and Annie Mae. Then in a couple of weeks it will be Carols birthday so I will have to go back and put some on her grave. I will be tired of cemetaries after that one. I was going to put some on Mrs. Youngs but Michelle said not to.

I am tired tonight and I do not know why, I guess because I have been on my feet all day and I can't take that any more. I don't know how I use to do all I did. anyway I will get over it maybe by in the morning. I want to fix dinner on Sunday. Joseph wants to surprise Michelle with a fish fry. He has called and got her off from work and she doesn't know that yet. Anyway maybe we can have a great dinner for Robert, Audra and Joshua. Love those kids and feel so bad for them.

Went to pick up Michelle and Jolyn's beef yesterday. Had a good visit with them. Jenna stayed here with Grandpa and visited with him and her friend Adam while we went over there. Michelle took Piggie to be killed and cleaned. I guess they are going to make sausage out of it. She sure was a fat pig. I hope that it will turn out to be good and they can eat it. I am not sure with it being a popbelly pig if it will be good.

My yard sure looks good. I have worked hard in it and you can sure tell it. It has been 2 weeks since I cut it but it still looks nice. I will probably have to cut it soon becaused it rained for two days.

Went with Charles to the doctor yesterday. Have decided that I am going to look for a new lung doctor. He really did not try to tell us what Doctor Campbell saw on the x-ray. I hope that it was not anything. But would like to know for sure.

I thank Heavenly Father for the years that we have had and hope that it continues for a while longer.

Went to church this morning. Had a good day. President and Sister Miller was there. I love it when they come. Everthing is always very spiritual. They are both very good people. I wish they could still come up here to church. We did not have very many people there today. It was Michelle's first day as Young Women's President. She said that everything went well. Joseph bore his testimony today. He did a really good job. I really felt good about it. I am afraid that I am going to be called back as the Relief Society President again. I really did not want that to happen. I am tired and need a rest but there is no one else to do it. I don't even know who will help me with it. I am sure that Hazel will be in Prmary. I just hope that he prays about this really hard and that is what I ask him to do. I am really tired and am not sure that I can do it all by myself again. Boy do I wish that Sheri was back here so she could help me with it. That is if I get called.
