Home teaching

I love to do Home Teaching. We have 5 great families. Keith's companion for Home teaching is our grandson Tanner. We decided to do something different for our home teaching for the month of Feb. Robert Burns' birthday, the poet lauriete of Scotland, is Jan. 25th. Since both Keith and I served in Scotland for our missions and met there over 40 yrs. ago, we have a fond place in our hearts for lots of Scottish things. There are many people in the U.S. that celebrate Robbie Burns birthday. Along with the help of our friends, Cliff and Diana McCollam, we put on our own Burns Supper. We had Haggis, of course, and scotch broth, black current scones, English cheese, black current drink and shortbread. We had lots of bagpipe music, laughter, one dance, and poetry and song. The couple standing by me are the McCollams, Tanner is in front of them and the Edwards' are on the right. As it turned out, only one of our families was able to make the supper, but we had such a good time anyway. I love Scotland and my Scottish ancestry. There is so much to be proud of that comes from Scotland. Many great inventions, deep loyality to family and church; the hymn Praise to the Man is taken from Scotland the Brave. There are great men from Scotland: Robert Lewis Stephensen, Alexander Graham Bell, Pres. McKay, Sean Connery, and my great great great grandfather, Robert Barclay, just to name a few. I am very happy to be half Scottish!! Cheerio the nu. (Bye for now)
