This year has been an eventful year. I have officially retired as of this summer and am now enjoying being home and spending time with my husband and with my children and grandchildren.

I went to Tina and Ralph's during the summer and spent a week swimming in their pool and just enjoying the beautiful weather. This was while DeMoyne went to Holland, Belgium and Germany to the different pigeon lofts to see if there were any birds that he would be interested in importing for himself. We hope to go to Holland together next year!

We have been called as ordinance workers in the Jordan River Temple. We started in September and are really enjoying the experience of working in the Lord's House and doing His work. DeMoyne is also on the High Council and sometimes feels that all he does is sit in meetings on Sunday! I am serving as a Relief Society teacher.

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
