Journal Excerpt Too

Monday, 6 August 2018, Sister Cannon wrote in her weekly calendar journal (in small spaces for brief notes):
"... doing laundry & dishes, mind racing with all we need to do & all we'll probably never get to do. I have frank talk with Ned – don't want long drawn-out treatments – I cry a little – blessed to see all children marry & see all Grandchildren. (Adeline sang ‘I Am a Child of God’ perfectly on phone last night! ...)"

Tuesday, 7 August, she wrote after being "emotionally exhausted" the night before:
"Talked to ... [three 8-year-old grandchildren] & Angie & Katie – got details of baptisms!  ... [Attending in Arizona last Saturday: five little non-member friends she had invited!] Ned & I doing our best to keep subject on them."

(Wednesday through Friday — another story!)

Saturday evening, 11 August, we finished packing up and cleaning our condominium.  Now homeless, we left Roseville for Utah.  On the road, though stressed-out and exhausted, Sister Cannon started feeling better.

Sunday, 12 August, she noted: "Slept in; went to Church at 1pm, Holt Ward in Holt MI – met Knightons – stayed for sacrament & 2 talks on gratitude & faith.  Back to journey."
[The end of her writing in the 2018 calendar book.]

I think Kay just prompted me to recall tonight's time change I had forgotten, and she now sees clearly – how we gain an hour when falling back.
Our Kay has not forgotten us.
Forever missionaries, we are ... with love.
