PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Max and Mary Mission Update: Monday Morning in DC


Update from Grumpa:

This was taken at 7:00 AM yesterday. We were there until 1:45 PM.  It was one of the four Monday opening for the year. Afterwards we all went to bbq for the retiring Temple Presidency. Got home at 8:00.  Good day!

Last week's update:

First full shift at temple! 

Hi All: 

We went into temple at 12:30 PM today for first shift and to be set apart. We were able to help in a couple of places and left the temple at 7:30 PM. We now know our normal schedules. Remember to add a half hour at the top and bottom of times given. 

Tuesday - 1 to 7 PM, 
Wednesday - 1 to 7 PM, 
Thursday - 1 to 7 PM, 
Friday 8 AM - 1:30 PM, 
Saturday - 12:30 to 5:30 PM.

Rest Sunday and Monday then do it all over again. Except this coming Monday we get to work from 8 AM to 2:30 PM for the holiday. 

We also have different coordinators each day that might, can, or will do it “their way”. WE are to smile and keep our traps shut. 

We have decided that the seven floors adds a lot of steps to what we are going to be taking. We will be asked to help in all areas with movement from place to place every hour or as needed due to flow of people coming to temple. 

All in all a good day and it felt good to be needed again. 

But now it is time to go to bed. 

The lighting, thunder, and heavy rain might keep us awake for awhile. 

love Dad and Mom
