March Happenings

We celebrated St. Patties day singing at a rest home!  We all wore green (except Bob Farley) and Wayne had a giant leprechaun hat to wear and pass around to the residents who sang with us.  It as a fun idea.

My Sister Liz's friend gave me a Lucky sweatshirt because of my Instagram whatluckywears account.  They are so cute.  This came in clutch for St. Pat's day as well.

My girlfriend group is going strong... our gathering for March was at Jo Murdock's home-- she made delicious quiche and salad for us and we discussed the Give them P.I.E.-- praise, inspiration and encouragement book by Pinegar...and then I did a thrifting demo and what I thrift and how to do it and how to wear it.  It was fun.
 

Our new branch was invited to the Linden Temple Open house for a 6am tour...that's right 6 am... it was early travleing from Ogden, but so worth it.  Many of our members can't be around anyone under 18-- so they did this special for them, plus a breakfast after at a nearby church.  It was great to have so many of our guys there.

This is our new Branch members board that we try and keep up to date for all of us to get to know each other better. 

I go on a duck walk most mornings.  I love to walk to the Kays Creek walkway along the Layton Park.  It's a paved trail that follows the creek and features two duck ponds.  I'm becoming very adept at speaking duck.  There are a lot of Mallards with their gorgeous  green heads, and Canadian Honkers that fill the ponds, but we also have a brown looking Mallard called a Khaki Campbell, a black duck with a little white on the chest and a yellow beak called a Duclair, an all black duck with a white beak called a Coot, a bluish beak duck with a mostly gray body called a Blue Swedish, the white storybook looking duck called a Pekin, and my favorite  - the ornamental duck that toally looks fake, or like an artist painted it- a Wood duck.  I walk, pray, recite my Psalm scriptues, see the squirrels and talk to the ducks and catch a gorgeous sunrise.
