Family Home Evening: Stardate: 92349.06 Location: Planet Earth Principle: Record Keeping Topic: Why keep a journal?

Look who escorted Truman to Preschool & attended Grandparents Day! My dad told a story about the pet goat he had when he was little and growing up in California. I’m so grateful my parents have been close for these 6+ years.
The corn is harvested and the stalks now decorate the porch (though the storms have blown it to bits). Apples are in season and we’re enjoying homemade caramel & fresh honeycrisp apples for snacks.
