Sheila writes in black, Rick in blue.
We drove to the Benesch farm so that I could give Primary sharing time materials to Norelle who is doing Sharing time this week. It will be great to have someone take turns with me. They are still feeding the new lambs. They were given a new one, Oreo colored. They call him Panda.

Panda - I would call him Oreo but Norelle thinks that sounds like a female sheep

Me, Norelle and the lambs
The subject \in Seminary was Mercy and there was a lovely spirit and good experience. After working on the Sunday hymns with Sister Betts, I practiced my Canon in D number for an hour. During my morning walk, an older man with a cane and a hat with a feather that looked like something an elf would wear, moved aside as I walked toward him, and tipped his hat to me saying what a lovely morning. It was a fun experience.

We left early to go to the Benesch farm to help with the barbecue we are having to say farewell to the Tongan members of our branch leaving for home for the next six months. The Tongans roasted the pigs on a man-made spit. It was cold but by the end of the meal the sun was shining.
Lucy had a little lamb
It's fleece was black and white
and everywhere that Lucy went,
it followed with delight.

Elder Kelly says "When are we gonna eat?"
Porky and Petunia??
Lucy thought the pigs looked uncomfortable.

Michael MacDonald is always on the move.
The shearing shed with a little furniture, turned into a fine place to dine
Everyone is just standing around waiting for the roasted pigs to appear. As we found out later, when they did appear many of us turned into pigs ourselves.
Roasting pigs are almost done.
Our tables await.
Here they come.
If this is not a look of anticipation, I don't know what is!
Toby is learning some of the finer points from the master.
Carving the pork.
And eating the pork.
President Sully askes Brother Benesch "what the heck is that in my bowl?"
I guess I'll eat it anyway.
