Thoughts and stories, by Pal

My early interest in Family History !  I first posted this on March 13, 2014.    These days I am busy packing and discarding, to get ready to move to Bountiful, Utah and live with my son Wayne and his wife Julie.  I will move on April 15, 2017, and leave my hometown!   I have come across many  memories in going through our "stuff".  The main things I am taking are histories of my parents and ancestors!  Those are timeless!  At some time each of you will be the "oldest person alive" for your posterity.  It is up to you to keep the legacy of your ancestors alive!   114. Saviors on Mt. Zion, Missionary Work, Redeeming the Dead, and Perfecting the Saints! (Indexing helps!)

The science is in. Singing is really, really good for you and the most recent research suggests that group singing is the most exhilarating and transformative of all. The good feeli...

Here are some uplifting thoughts for the day!  I have been busy getting ready to move up to northern Utah, going through years of "stuff".  I may not write as often for the next 2 months or so.  I am visiting old friends, etc., that I have known all my life.  I will be leaving the town I was born in, and lived in the majority of my life.  It is hard to describe feelings of leaving here, and yet being very anxious to move up closer to 6 of my children, and many grand and great grandchildren!  I'm excited to be up there!  I will be closer to about 3/4th of the dear people in our family picture that was taken when we celebrated my 80th birthday, in September, 2014.
