May 13, 1972

Well today has brought its pleasurable happenings like many - but not all - other days.

Dad is working swing shifts, but the forenoon has been full. Claire and Larry called and asked us to come up. Larry wanted Dad to help pull the old comet station wagon to the graveyard. (Our cemetery that is!) We were expecting Norman and Marie to come out. Norm fixed our television Ariel. He didn’t get there until shortly after eleven a.m. I had left a note for him and they came in. While Norm worked on the T>V> Marie finished cooking the dinner I had well under way. After Les had left for work, Norman and Marie took me with them and we called on Clell and Ann. We had a nice visit, and Janet & her family came while we were there. It was so nice.

Claire and Larry gave us one of their picnic table sets and we hauled it home too.

Just after the kids dropped me off home - my phone rang. It was Claire’s friend Kelly. She told me how wonderful my Claire is. She says she is an angel here on earth. This I have known all along. I told Kelly about Claire’s dream of Grandma Peterson, the one she dreamed while still in the 7th grade. Where Grandma came to her and said they had known each other in the spirit world and loved each other there. She cautioned her to live a good life here, so they could be together again after this life. She described Grandma Peterson (Confederate America) exactly. Kelly thanked me for Claire, and told me she also loved me, and wanted me to have a great Mother’s day tomorrow!

Some times the old world gets so hum drum & too many problems to solve too many troubles to face. When some person stops long enough to give of word of praise & appreciation, it makes life seem more worth while.

I think I am going to love this ward. All I have met have been so kind to me. Four or five close neighbors have called to welcome us here. Sister Ida Burrows the president of the relief society, found a moment to come to me Wed. at relief society meeting to say she thought I was a lovely loveable person. She was looking forward to our association together for “to know me would be to love me!”
