"So how is retirement?" we are often asked ---- "couldn't be better will be our reply" ---- time for each other and time for family ---- and that leaves no time for self pity. Loving every minute and grateful for each new day. When given the chance we load up and are on our way. Being with family is the best that life can offer. And their sweet love and kindness in return makes each day just a bit better

What Happens When You are Always Early for Church
I really thought I was finally safe to arrive at Church a little early. For several months whenever I was early the Relief Society Presidency would ask me to play the piano. They have never called an organist. The middle of December they called someone to play and I figured I was safe to just find my chair and sit quietly. Well this last Sunday Brad and I again arrived early --- only 10 minutes--- and I was sitting quietly listening to the prelude music in Relief Society when the Bishop tapped me on the shoulder and ask to meet with him for a few minutes. Okay --- you never say no to the Bishop. I now have a new calling to go along with my other two. A Relief Society Teacher. They sustained me in Sacrament Meeting even before I could tell Brad because I was playing the organ on Sunday and had not got to talk with him. He looked at me a little surprised. It is good that each one of these callings is not an every week job. I just hope they do not come on the same Sunday. I will be teaching in Relief Society, once every eight weeks, I play the organ for Sacrament services every fourth week and serve as a visiting teacher supervisor getting a report once a month. All in all nothing dramatic. The Bishop did bring up the calling that he gave to Brad and I just saying that the Stake President said it was not his place to do it ---- but the Bishop felt he surely could put the word where it needed to be. I guess we will wait to see what happens to that one. Grandpa Brad is serving in the Sunday School Presidency but seems to have been left out of the loop ---- that is too bad because it certainly makes you feel useless when you are ignored. Better not to have been given the call.
