Temple Blessings

We had a fabulous weekend! We had the opportunity to go to the temple on Saturday, and do some long awaited work. The time finally came (and then some), to do the work for John's grandmother. We also did the work for his mother's grandmother, and a child who died very young. It was a very spiritual, and long day (six hours) at the temple. We started with our neice being baptized for these three, and then confirmed. The day ended with sealing spouses and children together. I am so greatful that we live in a place where the temple is close enough to go to regularly.

ups and downs

The last two weeks have been full of ups and downs. I found out the painful way that I have an abscess tooth. It is no longer hurting or infected, but I find that I still have to be careful not to over stimulate the over sensitive nerve. I am now saving up, to get a root canal.
We went to Trenton, to our District Pioneer Days last Saturday. John and I were asked to do some cooking demonstrations. I was completely surprised to learn that they have a fire pit at their chapel. It is up the hill, at the back of the property, but I did not know you could do that. We were a complete hit. We made a pie, a stew and some fine cakes. They devoured them all. I borrowed clothes from our local fort, because none of mine were right for the time period. I curled the front of my hair in rag curls, and had several ringlets. We got asked a few times if we were supposed to be Joseph and Emma, so I guess we got the look right.
I am back to sewing, and realizing just how much work I have ahead of me. It is turning into quite the business. I have decided to start a new blog, focused on the sewing. We will see if I am able to keep it up. My new blog is astitchofhistory@blogspot.com.
