Ready for my Utah trip

This is Thursday evening and I am packing and getting my affairs in order before I leave early Monday for Utah with Sister Beaumont. Leaving Roger alone for a week is going to be an experience, so I'm making sure the bills are paid, trash is out and dinners are planned. Tomeka is taking custody of Roger for the week for his evening meals. It will be like having another kid in the house for Tomeka, but I do appreciate the fact that she is willing to feed her father in my absence.

My nerves are causing me some mild mental problems, but it's only because I've never been on a vacation without Roger. What if I won't know how to behave? What if, what if, what if? Will that haunting question ever stop ringing through my head?

I'm very anxious to get started but yet not. I can't stand the thought of being cooped up inside a car for 2 or 3 days with Lo've, (who is so good and righteous ) and I am just me, what a combination. What will we find to talk about for 3 days? What if I say something upsetting to her? Oh, what if?

Ok, I'll contine this as our trip starts and as we go along. It'll be easier now that Sister Cupps told me I can bring my laptop and get it home on the plane. Well, what do I know about travel? NOTHING! I know I'll need air sickness pills before getting on an airplane, and a lot of prayers, and more insurance I'm sure. Bye for now.

All Good Things Must Come To An End

We are all ready to leave the really great motel we stayed at. We had a ball there, all sitting in the lobby and talking until late. Everyone was so happy to see each other we all tried to talk over each other, it was funny. This is quite a crew I'll tell you!

What a bunch!

Mike & Pam Smith after getting their endowments and having their marriage sealed in the Temple. What a wonderful experience for them and everyone who attended.

After we left the Temple we all went to the bookstore then to a pizzeria for lunch.
What a happy bunch of people. We could not be more happy for the Smith's than we are today.
The only thing missing from lunch are the Cupp's. They needed to head for home earlier than expected.
I'm just taking it all in, laid back and happy!

Friday night in Palmyra

We broke the rock...


When the Cupps finally arrived at the motel, I presented Sister Cupps
with the card and memory quilt we sisters of the Norwich Branch relief society made for her.
She's starting to chock up reading the card.

So, from the expression on her face, we know she likes her quilt.

Then we went to a Greek diner that had no Greek food on the menu. The conversation was wonderful and the food was OK. The best part thought was being with our good dear friends the Cupps again.

Today, Thursday, I am busting at the seams anxious for tomorrow to leave for Palmyra, NY to see all the sites again, to meet with the Cupps and be there for Pam & Mike Smith's endowments on Sat. This is an exciting time for me.
Thank goodness Karen will teach me how to do this blog the right way. See you the next time!

The Beginning

The Beginning of this Blog Thing...

This is the cutest little boy in the world.

My first great-grandson will take any of yours.

Dominic loves the snow, unlike his great-grandmother,

but then it doesn't hurt his bones.

This is my first attempt at blogging...
Tom Cupps talked me into blogging and Skyping because now I can keep in touch with them everyday.

After I fed him a delicious dinner he spent time setting me up. Yes food can get a guy to do anything.

It's so cold outside today, I hate it! I'm so ready for spring.


All is well in the Kent household tonight. We miss our friends and family that are so far away but we are together in spirit.
