November Thanksgiving

We have celebrated Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years since my last posting.  These are all special times of the year, so today I will enjoy looking back at the fun times shared with family and friends in November.

November 14

We have enjoyed going with Hal and Christy Smith
to plays at the Hale Theater.

"Thoroughly Modern Millie" 
"Millie Dillmount has a one-way ticket from Kansas to 1922 New York City 
where she wants to marry for money and live the modern life, 
but her grand plan quickly goes awry."

November 15
Tauna came with her family to Utah for her
brother Neal's funeral.
He died October 15, 2019 (age 44).  

Tauna remained in Utah for a couple of weeks

following the funeral and spent time with her dad and siblings.

Sam and I went to visit Tauna at her dad's home in Provo
and invited Tara Poulsen to go with us.

Tara and Tauna became friends in Texas.

Tara Poulsen and Tauna

had not seen one another since both lived in Texas.

Adult Religion Class - Teacher, Carl Bowcut
(through BYU)
Beth Whitaker told me about these classes and said 
she and her husband really enjoyed them.
This was the last class for this term; but we will be
attending the classes for the term starting January 2.
 

This is one of several slides shown during the discussion.
