I have been going through our old church magazines, and cutting out the great pictures. I have taken the time to read some of the articles. And have a pile to mail Marisha. This one I am going to send to James, but thought we all could use this reminder in our lives. I was going to post this yesterday (Sat. morning) but we couldn't get the article to scan. Finally Tom got it to scan last night!
I honestly had planned to post this yesterday morning and was going to even type it out, but decided the scan would add some color to the blog.

How is your Latin?
Postmaster J. Albert Brown and staff have been busy the past few weeks with the Christmas rush, and have accomplished the job without a hitch. But the Post office personnel, Mr. Brown says, are glad the rush is over. Many cards, packages and special delivery items were handled during the rush.

Albert Brown Shoots Prowler Tuesday Night
Mephitis Americana, life-long resident of Apache county was shot and killed outside a St. Johns home Tuesday evening. No known relatives have been located.
J. Albert Brown, postmaster of St. Johns, is not one to take invasion of him home lightly, and is prepared to take great personal risk in keeping the place inviolate to all prowlers.
Last Monday night the family was enjoying a quiet evening at home when he heard a noise in the kitchen. Being a brave man, he went to investigate instead of sending his wife. The intruder slipped out without being seen.
Tuesday night the youngest member of the family, Brent, was reading in the front room when in walked Mephitis Americana.
Being only a small boy, he was afraid to move and after Mephitis had left the room he ran for help from his dad.
Albert quickly surrounded the area in which the culprit was in hiding and stepped to the side door with his trusty shotgun. He had his wife tap on a back window to frighten the prowler and when he ran out the side door he let go a shot.The intruder was mortally wounded although not defenseless and it took a second well placed shot to end his nocturnal degradations.
Mephitis Americana died without a statement, but his black and white fur coat was a total loss. If you aren't up on Latin, Mephities Americana is the the common skunk.

Do you know your ancestors?
I wanted to post this article, but the image isn't big enough for you to read it. I tried to re-do it but it still isn't big enough to read so I will type out the article for you soon.

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BABES! (or 14 yr old)
I have been going through a bin of old paperwork and came across a letter handwritten to Dad and me. I thought you would all enjoy reading this. (I don't remember this letter--maybe Dad read it and kept it from me since that was during my bad depression years!)

Mom & Dad
I was disappointed today when I had thought about our Monday evening. No church meetings are schedules on Monday so that families can spend time together one evening of the week. It disturbs me to see that our home is a mess, yet we all walk over it and go about our things. Family Home Evening wasn't held until 9:30, and I as I looked around I saw that no one was fully paying attention. The lesson was made short, since it was late, we were all probably thinking about other things during the lesson. How are we supposed to feel the Spirit when the lesson is pretty much made up on the spot, we don't have an opening prayer, no one is paying attention, the room is a mess, and no one really seems like they want to be there? I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want this to be brought to your attention so that things can improve and your are aware that I would like things to be better. I know it isn't all up to you, it depends on everybody's attitude & etc, but please, let's all try from now on to get things planned better so that we can all have a funner and better experience.
Your daughter, Kristin

I thought you guys would all enjoy this picture. I think this was taken in 2006.I still need to post some of the pictures from the reunion with my sisters in Arizona. I had April take most of the pictures. (It was with James' old camera so I have to find the disc for it so I can upload the pics to the computer.)
Dad and I are heading with the rest of the Bishopric and their wives to attend a Young Women leadership retreat in Walla Walla Washington. They are having a dating panel! Who would have thought that would we would be on a dating panel!! I will have to post and let you all know how it went.
