It is a lot of fun to get together to-gether with the Walkers because there is so many of them and you can gab for hours. That is what we did at this wedding luncheon. We believe that families can be together forever and so it is nice when we can get together once in a while during this life. It seems like life has become be-come so complicated what with all the things we are expected to do and accomplish, whether it is at work, at school, at church, at home, or just trying to keep everything ev-erything moving along smooth- iy- I will state, however, that for us senior citizens, it is not as complicated as it was when we were younger, raising our families fami-lies and working to keep body and soul together. We are still very busy but we do make time to do service projects, church work, and take a vacation now and then. by Marcella Walker We attended the marriage of my husband's niece in the Elountiful LDS Temple last week and it was a great occasion. occa-sion. Not only was I happy fo r this lovely young lady and her husband but, also, I have wa nted to go to the Bountiful Temple for a long time but we have never made it before. Prior to living in Pleasant Grove, we lived in Bountiful for about seven years.

While visiting his f amily in Pleasant Grove, my husband's home town, we fou nd a lovely home which cosit a lot less money and was near to his family, besides.

Many of you know my husband's family and his siblings sib-lings are scattered all over the map. We keep in touch but we don't see each other too often. My husband has lots of nieces and nephews and when they get married we have a chance to get to visit which is a lot of fun. After the wedding wed-ding and picture taking were over, a luncheon was held in a Kaysville church building, so we had a great chance to visit and we had a grand time doing do-ing it. Contrast this with my family. I have two brothers. One lives in Ogden and one in North Ogden. My younger brother has no children and the brother just younger than me has four children and they . are all married and live in the Actually, now that I think about it, we take days off frequently fre-quently to do fun things and take little trips here and there but we still do the chores, too, so we are still in the thick of things a little bit. Anyway, we are happy we got to have this special temple wedding to go to last week and to see inside the Bountiful Temple for the first time. |
