Monday!

Yes, the week has started and we are excited for the week to come! FHE on Monday brought a closer study of Sacrament. HT is all done for November with 100%, yeah!
Mom is gearing up for December already, since we will be leaving for Utah, after Dec 17th.

I will have a dentist appointment on Tuesday and then come back for an evening event at Franklin for the new students and parents coming to Franklin from Marshall HS.
Wednesday is our usual temple night. Christmas activities are starting already for Friday and Saturday, then the Christmas Devotional on Sunday in the evening.
What do you have planned for this week?
Hope all goes well for you this week! We keep you regularly in our prayers.

Love,
Dad

We had our Tithing settlement today. I attended two Sacrament Meetings, one in Estacada and another meeting in our Ward, Powell Valley. Got all the early morning meetings for Bishopric and PEC for Estacada. By the time I get to our meeting schedule, I'm ready to come home. ''got one home teaching assignment before the titihing settlement. Last week, mom went with me for two others and still have more for tomorrow.
Thanksgiving was a good one in McMinnville at Scott's house. We had a great turkey with all the stuffings and then some. Celebrated my birthday at Dad's. thanks for all the gifts, cards, phone calls on my birthday. Yes, I really am 57 years old! But done feel aday over 25, that is on most days! I can attribute that to my new found exercise... Yoga. Mom got me into it and I like it very much! We don't always practice together, but lately I put on th evideo and mom will workkout in the room next door... from the den. It is ready good for these really tired old bones

Soccer is Over, Yeah! ...no more rain!

In October and November we went to a few games for Matt and Nathan.

Both scored at various games. Lots of fun, except for the rain. Course not all games were wet! We love watching those games!

Thanksgiving!

The day before Thanksgiving and I have gone through the Parent-Teacher Conference\: Two days (Monday-Tuesday) 8am Through 8pm. There was some snow and ice when I went to Gresham in th eevening. Got home just fine. The next day I got a message form Cathy stating I might want to stay at my parents since the streets were icy and snowy. The next night I missed my Blood Drive. We got lots of people out, and Cathy felt it was the smoothest drive we have had! Fortunately Cathy was there when I couldn't be there. Home all day today before our Holiaday since we worked to late nights, we got the day before off too!
I will be 57 this year and thinking of retiring this year. Of course, we have been talking since 2008, maybe its time to do sometning about it? 33years in the school system is quite a long time. I was looking at the principal photo wall in the the library and I know personally 9 of the 13 or 14 principals at Franklin. Of course, it does hurt have gone an extra 4 years since my high school years.
So, how is your Thanksgiving weekend coming along? Hope you enjoy your time and I will try to be more faithful in entering this blog, a new birhtday goal.... Love you all,
Dad
