My Kindnes shall not depart from thee

Monday the Bishop's wife called me and asked if I could play the piano for their 2 daughter who will sing in Sacrament meeting, then she brought the music over Tuesday. I went through the music, and had to white out some notes, It had allot of octaves in it, and It hurts me to play octaves all the way through. so I do that if the song is hard and make it easy for myself. So I played for them today, and they have them most beautiful voices. They gave me a thank you card, and it touched my heart, and that was my blessing. I love the saying they wrote on it. Anything that touches my heart is a blessing.

For a little while have I forsaken thee,
but with great mercies will I gather thee,
IN a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment.
but with everlasting kindness will I gather thee.

And with mercy will I take thee beneath my wings
For the mountains shall depart and the hills shall be removed
And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea.

But now my child, My kindness shall not depart form thee.
though thine afflictions seem at times to great to bear
I know thine every thought and every care,
And though the very jaws of hell gape after thee.
I am with thee

And with everlasting mercy will I succor thee
For the mountains shall depart and the hills shall be removed

And the valleys shall be lost beneath the sea.
So hold on they way, for I shall be with thee,
for I shall be with thee.

And my angels shall encircle thee doubt not what thou knowest
Fear not man, for he cannot hurt thee,
and with everlasting kindness will I succor thee,
And with mercy will I take thee beneath my wings

but know my child my kindness shall not depart from thee.

Jon Schmidt Concert

I had the privilege in going to see John Schmidt in concert here at the Roosevelt Junior High sponsered by the Uinta Basin Medical Center, It was last friday night, the 7th of May. This is my second time I went since I have been here.

I went alone, but really enjoyed it, I just enjoyed the children around me, they were up and dancing in their seats, He was funny. He has some background music when he was playing. Just him and his grand piano, some times they had like different colors of background when he played the piano. He was making faces and made everyone laugh. doug stayed home with his dad here. He rather go to a nascar race.

I seen alot of my friends there after and enjoyed talking to them.
I had a great evening, while I was at the concert, Doug cleaned up his mess, and had the porch all cleaned up and I was impressed.

But I Love Piano music, and I listen to my nephew Cody's music while I sit and paint. I am in another world, until Doug calls me on the phone and I am back to reality.

Play Yahtzee

One Evening while Doug and his Dad was here, we all played yahtzee, We just has had him  be partners with Doug, and he just shook the dice. He rolled quite a few yahtees, but only could have one yahtzee. But he had fun playing. five of a kind is yahtzee.

Doug stays in Salt Lake at his home and is a caretaker for his father and makes a living by doing that. His brother in California helps him out alot. Doug was adopted so he gets to take care of him.

So he got a chance to come out and do some work that needed to get done, and now he is back with his father. His Father will be 88 soon, He is hard of earing, no teeth and walks with a walker or cane. He like to read and sleep alot. He will sleep after dinner, and wake up and thinks it is breakfast time.

But His dad has a great sense of humor, he likes to play my piano has he passed it by, and I clap for him. I get up and dance and he will dance alittle too.

Our Front Porch

To all my family who can't make it out to see this in person, I bring it to you! Here is Our Front Porch! Cool HUH? It just needs to be painted now. Any Ideas what color to paint it? I had to decorated it alittle before I took a picture.

The porch was in the back when they brought the mobile home out here. So my freind Barbara's Husband who pulled the mobile home over on our property, helped moved it to the front, with one of those little tracters. So you see where to stucco had to be. He still has the rest of the Mobile home to stucco.

It's nice to have a porch and sit and watch the sunsets in the evenings. We have great sunsets here, and alot of wind!

Putting on stucco

While Doug was here he and his freind Don in the ward help him put stucco on the bottom of the Mobile Home so we could have the front porch on, We need it inspected this year. It was their first time, but I think they done a great job, even if it was their first time. Doug had a cement mixer and just put it on, had to have plastic and chicken wire on first. When doug has another man to help him, he has alot more man power and  last alot longer sticking with the job

Good job guys!.
