Well Pagent and the aftermath is over for this year and I guess its time to get this Blog caught up. I am weeks behind with Sister Parkerson's hundreds of pictures to identify and a Blog layout and program that I absouletely hate. It is the most user unfriendly thing I've ever had the mispleasure of using but its free so I can't complaint too much. I don't know if there is anyone even following this anymore.

Elders Parkerson & Murphy woring on rebuiding a Kawasaki engine that runs a 6 person transporter cart that the Pagent people use to bring disabled folks in from the parking lots. We got it done and running before Pagent!

We have a really nice shop with a car lift, welding equipment and a full compliment of mechanics tools.

We got to go strawberry picking on a Saturday off. The weather was warm and wonderful and the berries plentiful. The farmer would take you out into his field on a wagon pulled by his tractor and drop you off to pick. It was a lot of fun. We are looking forward to returning as they also grow cherries, rasperries, corn and peas.

Sunday, Fathers Day Sheri from the FM office managed to organize a surprise 60th Birthday party for Elder Parkerson. It was quite a surprise as I never expected it. I think Sister Parkerson also played a roll in it. We had a really nice afternoon and evening. All of the Senior couples we work with were there.
