It's my BIRTHDAY #83

At LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE with hubby for lunch

Celebrating my birthday again-it seems to come around FASTER each year. Life is slowing down for me as my recliner's calls me daily for a nap or two or three,  BUT I still have INTERESTS to develop like:

1. My 6 am GOSPEL prayer and study with links on our RS FACEBOOK page, then a BULLETIN BOARD of new sisters moving in our ward with a photo and brief history to spotlight them, 

2. Activities with DIXIE POETS as their president (see http://dixiepoets.blogspot.com for our activities, 

3. DUP-DAUGHTERS OF UTAH PIONEERS Registrar and also created their blog see https://dup-atkinville.blogspot.com/ of our activities, 

4. Then there's my GENEALOGY started to collect when I was 20 years old and have preserved on http://familysearch.org with about 1000 family photos I've uploaded of my ancestors and my husband's ancestors plus many family histories I've written over the years about those ancestors and my family which includes a history of my life, my husband Allen, my parents, my grandparents on both sides, etc.

5. I even started a COUSIN'S NEWSLETTER for my grandkids from my different husbands for them to get better acquainted with each other which helped me to get to know them better also. 

FAMILY is what it's all about and developing your talents, knowledge and for me serving in the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST of LATTER-DAY SAINTS has filled my life. One of these years it will be time to visit my family on the other side of the veil and get acquainted with my father who died when I was only five years old. THE ULTIMATE GRADUATION!
