Sunday 26 August - 25 days left


There was no fog this morning so I went for a short walk.  There are some noticeable changes in the trees and I am hoping that I will be here long enough to see a spectacular fall foliage.  According to the powers that be, this area is in for a heavy winter.  I am glad that we will not be here for it – I do not particularly like driving in snow and ice – did that for 20 years in Pennsylvania.
One of the speakers in church this morning talked about listening to and following the promptings of the Holy  Ghost and how by doing so we have a happier life.  Sometimes we are stubborn and do not wish to take advice from any quarter and life gets quite difficult when we follow that path.
After church, we were invited to a home for lunch.  They had cooked hamburgers on the grill and there was tomato, onion, lettuce, pickles and condiments along with water melon.  For dessert I brought the cake that Anna had saved for me and it was a hit.
They had a priesthood leadership meeting in Topsham and Bill went to that.  I got to stay home and read and work on the computer.
We are hoping that the couple that has been called to the New Hampshire Manchester mission are coming here to Augusta and not going to Vermont.  The couple from Vermont has finished their mission and has gone home.  We are working feverishly on the Washington and York county records and they need to be finished up but it will take a good year to eighteen months to do the rest of it.
