2053. Hello, again! I'm trying to start my blog again! Please be patient!

 Dear Readers:

I had my 90th birthday on October 6th, a week ago last Sunday!  I am forgetting how to do this blog!

I really want to keep this blog going!  But my problem with a 90 year old brain, is how to do it!  A lot is going on in the world, and I actually don't watch much news.  

     I have a dear friend here in Fairfield Assisted Living in Layton, Utah, named JoAnn, who lives 2 doors from me.  Over the years she has had macular degeneration which has gradually gotten worse, until she is basically blind.  She has to have help just when she eats, as she can't see her food, and has to be told where her drink is, where her foods of different kinds are, etc.  She has had internal problems where she has to have different foods pureid, and eats a lot of protein drinks.

                                      This is JoAnn

She has been a very elegant lady, putting her hair in curlers each night, having a CNA choose her clothes each day, but she has lovely clothes and they match well as she used to work.  

    She has been virtually afraid to be alone at night, or in the evening, not being able to work her TV, know where the bathroom is, etc., so I have had her here for around 7 to 9 or 9:30 p.m. with me, and we watch things on YouTube.  Of course she doesn't see, so I get things on which depend mostly on a good story, or something that doesn't depend on what the scene is.  

     We usually watch "Sunshine for the Soul" (or another name is Brother Merrill's Inspirational Stories).  He has been an LDS Temple worker for 27 years, in the Provo Temple, and is really a delightful story-teller.  You could try it sometime on YouTube.

 We also watch Glenn Rawson on Sunday Nights, and other LDS things about "Come Follow Me".

   My last great grandchild, a girl, named Erin.  I'm stopping this post now, and I need to work on remembering how to do my blog!

155. Anthony Jansen Van Sallee, son of the Pirate King, and a character himself!

                 ANTHONY JANSEN VAN SALLEE, 1607-1676                              by Hazel Van Dyke Roberts, PH.D.   I'm using the historical writing of Hazel Roberts, as she did a lot of research on it.  Anthony was the son of the Pirate King, Jan Jansen, told about in the last entry, # 154.  This is about an interesting part of early New England History.  New Amsterdam became the city New York when the English conquered the Dutch in 1664.       Anthony Jansen Van Salee was a unique, interesting, and  important figure in the early history of New Amsterdam,  He has been found to be the most unusual and interesting figure in the New Amsterdam records . Contentious and obviously a nuisance to them, he was treated by the authorities with the respect due to a person of importance.  It is speculated that Anthony’s father had provided him a considerable fortune, and by 1639 he was one of the largest landholders on the island, as well as a prosperous farmer.       O'Callaghan in

211. The Palmyra Temple -- The rest of the story -- (History)

Image
Subject: Palmyra Temple--Rest of the Story T We rarely know all the details of a completed temple.   Much goes on in the months and years prior to its completion.   The Palmyra, NY temple is no exception and the story is one of great vision, insight and the Lord's intervention . The story starts years before, perhaps years before anyone thought to build a temple here.    In 1907 Apostle George Albert Smith purchased a portion of the original Smith farm for $16,000.   In 1915 he sold it to the Church for $1.00 and President Joseph F. Smith called Bro Willard Bean and wife Rebecca on a 5 year mission to manage the farm and be the first stationary missionaries in the area since the Saints removed to Ohio in 1830.  They served here for 25 years! making numerous improvements to the farm,  softening the attitudes of the local residents, helping the Church to acquire more of the farm, and even the hill we now call the Hill Cumorah.  The Hill Cumorah pageant had its beginnin

1248. Pfizer Head of Anti-Viral Has Good News on COVID-19 By Maurine Proctor, in Meridian Magazine

This is very interesting, and encouraging! Pfizer Head of Anti-Viral Has Good News on COVID-19 By  Maurine Proctor  · July 9, 2020 Richard Hutchins is not speaking officially for Pfizer nor any other organization in this article, but merely sharing the latest information about vaccine development. The more we are stuck under masks in public gatherings and stay in when we want to go out, questions multiply about COVID-19. News reports give us mixed messages, cases spike when states open up, and people talk about the “new normal” as if we will spend a lifetime looking at each other mainly as carriers. The question that haunts us most is “When will this ever end?” Or will this virus just mutate into new and more contagious forms, so we are isolated indefinitely? We took some of our questions to someone we knew could give us authoritative answers and what he told us was the most optimistic news we’ve heard yet in this fight to defeat COVID-19. Look to Novem
