Edward McGregor Patterson in Church History Museum

I forgot to mention that when we went to the Church History Museum, I found something that belonged to our ancestor, Edward McGregor Patterson. He is the grandfather of Irene Patterson Painter, my grandmother. It is a tall desk made and donated by Edward to the United Order of Paris, Idaho. The information plaque showed a picture of Edward and said that the united order in Paris lasted quite a bit longer than in other places. Remember when we went and looked at the Paris tabernacle during our family reunion? This same Edward helped work on that tabernacle. I wish I had thought to take a picture of the desk. I'll have to go back sometime.

Congratulations to Mike and Jennifer! We just had a fun weekend with Dad and played some serious solo. He is doing a great job of taking care of himself, the house, etc. We also spent a day in SLC with Kathryn going to the church history and art museum and the natural history museum to see the dinosaur bones on the campus of U of U. Happy to report that Kathryn received a full scholarship to BYU law school. She's been accepted to the first 7 she applied to--Duke, Penn, William and Mary, Washington and Lee, BYU, and I forgot where else-- but is still waiting to hear from 8 more.

love to all, Sharon

Thanks to those few of you who have recently contributed to the blog. I'm going to try and think of some incentive so that more of us will contribute more frequently.

Meanwhile, I hope that you are all feeling loved by those of your families who are nearby and that you know that those of us who are far away love you lots, too! = )

Oh, that's from Mike & Jen.

IT'S A BOY!
