Life hasn't stood still in the
past 25 years. I've have been busy with my family and now I'm enjoying our
54 and one half grandchildren. I am still busy in the Church, at present I am
the Gospel Doctrine teacher and have been for 4 years. {It is my favorite
calling of all} .I have also been the president of the Young Women's and the
Relief Society.
I did my part in PTA for a few years.
After the children all got in school, I went to work at Mac Anthony's in Spanish
Fork. I was still there when it changed over to Keeping Memories Alive. (I
really should have done my scrap Booking then!) I quit there because
I felt I needed to be home more for my family and besides that, we had many
family reunions during the summer.
After a few years my good friend asked me to come and help her at the Spanish
Fork Chamber of Commerce office, so I became the Executive Assistant, a
glorified name for secretary and/or gopher. It was fun and I learned a
lot, but, again, it interfered with my recreation in the summer and being with
my family.
My husband and I have taken up wagon training. He has even built a covered
wagon for us; now if we could just get the horses trained we would really be in
business. As of now, I ride in the wagon of some good friends and Norman
pulls the porta-potty wagon along behind the train. We have gone from
Spanish Fork to Mountain Meadow, from Garden Grove, Iowa to Nauvoo, and from
Golden Spike Historical Center to Montpelier, Idaho, to name a few.
I am on the board of the Utah Western Heritage Foundation and have helped plan
some of these wagon trains for the past 2 years.
My husband and I were called on a mission to the Spanish Fork Employment Center
for a year.
Life is wonderful and I'm grateful I have the health to do all the fun things
there are to do!
You're doing a great job Thanks!!
