Sunday Drive

Patriarch Tree (200+ yrs. old) on Patriarch Hill at Monument.



The above two pictures were taken at the John Morrell Historic site in Stafford, Vt


Our first two investigators


We had a nice church meeting today with a linger-longer after to eat and get to know all better. One of the ladies, Sister McShinksy, says I look like her daughter who lives in Virgina. She is one of the old timers here, and several of the other folks have asked her how long her daughter will be visiting? So I guess I have a new Mom for a while. We will be moving to our new apt. next weekend. I call it our "tree house" because it is in the forest and you get to the loft byway of a ladder. We planted flowers last week and still have a few more to plant, about 4000 total. The grounds are looking more & more beautiful with forest, green grass and lacy fern. Nephi & the other Elders have been draining one of the ponds so it can be dredged and cleaned out. They stock the 2 ponds with fish, too bad we don't fish. We went for a ride in the country today after church to a small town called Stafford. A typical small Vermont village, a couple of churches, no stores, some have a general store, and lots of older homes (18th century). On previous drives we thought we would find some good prices on antiques in some of the village shops, but no such luck.
