LOVE ONE ANOTHER

Today I have been busy making things for the craft show. I got some bookmarks done. I am also working on fixing a golf club cover for my husbands brother-in-law. I am abou t a quarter of the way through it. I had to rip it out many times so that it would fit right. Oh well, that is part of designing your own pattern I guess. Well I got some good news Friday. I had put in for the opening in Lockport paper in the graphic arts department, and I got the job. That means a pay raise, and shorter distance to work. I worked in that department in Medina for 12 years, then the department got moved to Tonawanda, now it is back in Lockport. I moved back to Medina 6 months after we moved to Tonawanda, only as the receptionist/cashier/girl Friday. I am looking forward to designing ads again. I miss doing that. I love my job in Medina, and the people I work with, but the phone calls from the rude and down-right mean people I will not miss. I will not miss the people swearing at me because their paper is late, or they didn't receive one. You know if you are talking to a customer service person, please take into consideration that they have feelings too, and that whatever you are mad at, they had nothing to do with it. I don't know why people have to be sooooooo mean sometimes. Jesus taught us to love one another. If you have love for one another, you will not want to hurt them. Well I guess I had better sign off now.

This is the Palmyra Temple. This is where Tim and I were sealed for time and all eternity. It is a beautiful place. It is very peaceful there, It is a place where you can leave all your worldly things outside, and concentrate on the spiritual things. I have had many experiences where I have felt my loved ones who have passed away right there with me. It is a wonderful feeling. I know that they are with me all the time, but they seem closer to me at the Temple. The veil is very thin there.





This is one of my favorite pictures of Christ. I love the pictures of him with the children.










I am sitting here embroidering some aprons for a friend of mine. Actually the sewing machine is doing all the work. I am just waiting for it to sew out, so I decided I needed to add to my blog. She (my friend) is giving the aprons to someone for her 80th birthday. This person works on a large farm, and has a farm market. She gets up early every day and takes the migrant workers to the fields and then at lunchtime she makes them lunch and feeds them. She is a very special person, I hope I can still do all that she does when I turn 80. I will post pictures of the aprons when I am finished.

We live just south of Lake Ontario. The lake is still warm, so the storm that has been hitting the midwest is going to go a little south of us. We are protected from the warmth of the lake. Buffalo is getting socked with snow, so is Niagara Falls, and Lockport, and Medina (where I work). They could get up to 6 inches tonight. We have only had a little rain so far. There are already many branches down because of the weight of the snow on the leaves. There are many people without power in and around Buffalo right now. I have some pictures of Medina when I left to come home, but I haven't downloaded them into the computer yet.

Wow, I can't believe that it has been a week since I last posted. I have been trying to work on more items for the craft show next month. I have some more fall earrings done, some apples, cherries, pumpkins, fall leaves, acorns done. I am now getting some christmas ornaments, bags - I have some red hat designs I thought I would try on some canvas bags. I also have some knitting and crochet designs I want to try on canvas bags. I have crocheted some little coin purses, got to get them sewed together now, and put buttons on. I have chosen some christmas and thanksgiving designs to put on towels that I crochet the top on.

This is a picture of our Superman/Clark Kent, and Lois Lane scare crows that we made for the contest. We took 3rd place in the contest.









We had the most beautiful moon last night. It was huge and really orange when it came up. It stayed huge and really bright all night. You didn't even need an outsidel light to get around. I wanted to take a picture, but we didn't get home until it was up in the sky and was too bright a white. Oh well, maybe next time. I wanted to get it when it was really orange.

I only had 2 kids in nursery at church today. That was good. I usually have between 6 and 8, and I haven't had an assistant lately, they haven't called a new one, and the one I have had now has to work on Sundays. I miss her. Well, we'll see what happens.

I have just finished my ward newsletter. I didn't get as many stories as I would have liked, but that's OK. I went with what I had, maybe we'll get more for the next newsletter.
