Air & Space

My nutritionist told me that I needed to walk more.  She requested I walk at least 30 minutes a day for health and work up to an hour.  When I asked for suggestions on where to walk, I don't to so well on hills and still worry about falling over my own feet, she recommended taking my kids to some of the museums or sights in the area.  When I mentioned this to my children they were excited about the idea. 

There is a "new" Air & Space museum in our area.  I say it's new because I hadn't been there.  Essie & Rosie had been there over a year ago. We decided we should go.  It was a bit far and we had to pay $15 to park! 

We invited Geneva & Vicky but only Vicky came with us.  T, G & Rosie didn't want to stay with us so I let them go off on their own & we met back after a few hours.  I was able to get the pictures from the kids that they took and Essie & I also took some.  Here's a brief glimpse of our time there.  (BTW - I walked 2 hours that day!)

Visiting Another Ward

So today my family, not Rosie, visited a friend's Ward. They live in Hagerstown, MD. They used to live in Gaithersburg (about 4 years ago). Their son just returned from his mission. I cannot believe how old he is.

I was his Primary teacher when he was 10 years old. He was part of a very difficult class of a bunch of rowdy boys. He was one of the "ringleaders".

I love visiting other Wards. Don't get me wrong, I love my Ward. I really enjoy visiting other Wards & being reminded how organized the church is.

It is funny how fasinated Essie (or another of my children) is/are about how everything is the same.

I did miss my Primary friends today.

Emmnie's coming home!

Emmie has not been able to find a job & has decided to come home.  CB & I have been paying her rent for July & August.  We are glad she's coming home & hope she'll be able to find a job here. :)
