One more thing ... I forgot to mention. I took Dad to the eye dr. to see if he could pass his vision test for his DL. He failed it, so he can no longer drive after the 1st of December, his birthday. It's a blessing. But it was really hard on Mom when I had to tell her. She cried and cried and the harder she cried the louder I laughed. She didn't like that. I guess it was kind of mean of me.
Dad sold his car to Gil. That will be great for Gil and good for Dad not to be tempted to drive.
Dad said that he would rather be dead than have no car. Sad, huh?
Well ... I'm just an ordinary granny with 28 beautiful grandkids, 7 fabulous children, and 1 fantastic husband!
My fantastic husband and I met while both serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, in the Gulf States Mission. This mission included Mississippi, Louisiana, part of Tennessee, and most of Arkansas. While in the mission field we were committed to the service of the Lord and of course no dating was involved. But two dates after our missions we were engaged and married two months later. Life has been wonderful with my Lynn!
While raising our 7 children I helped supplement our income by teaching vocal lessons, babysitting, and doing hair, all in the comfort of my home.
I'm currently employed at World Joy, a nonprofit organization improving health and education in the Atiwa District of Ghana, Africa.
Now, we have been called to serve as full time Public Affair Specialists for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in the Africa South East Area, living in Johannesburg, South Africa for 23 months. We are beyond excited since we will have each other as full-time companions 24/7.
It REALLY is a wonderful life!

That's funny/sad. Tell grandpa to buy something nice with his car money. Maybe some nice whiskey, that will make him feel better.
