Nauvoo Christmas
Fresno Temple
Nativity scene on Nov 22 during a youth trip to the temple.
On Sep 16 in the temple I started work for my great grandfather George, b 1860. I have his middle name, Addison.
The name Addison first appeared in our family line in 1805, when it was used as a first name by a direct descendant.
Fast forward multiple generations to my son, Josh, & grandson, Ben, who now bear the name, as their middle name.
Family history is fascinating & fun!

Bishop's storehouse
The place to be most Tuesdays, and a few Thursdays!
Seen on storehouse shelves!
The carton says they're distributed by Welfare Services, Salt Lake City. But we know they were picked, dried, rolled, & packed near Fresno Calif.
We've got the grape stains to prove it!!

I served at the local storehouse during the summer and fall including Sep 6, 13 and 27, days in Oct, Nov 8, 10, 22, Dec 6, 8 and subsequent days thereafter.
Fun decorations in Oct at the storehouse!
Sweet reminder of someone now gone who was pretty crafty herself back in the day :)
Got some pumpkins for Jess, Jenn & Katie! Grateful for Cherie Scoffield's beautiful craftwork.
