We hope this post finds all of you happy and healthy. We were glad to hear that everyone's Thanksgiving went well and you are all back into the routines of life. Scott and I have been passing our goal of 1500 pictures a day and after tomorrow we will have opened over 3,000 probate files. We will be getting new boxes coming some time this week and we will be into the 1800's moving towards the 21st century!
Yesterday we attended the Boston Temple. It was our wards temple day but apparently they were concerned about the weather report and so the trip was cancelled. I think we are less worried about the weather (because we are naive) and since we hadn't heard about the change in plans we headed down. It was a great session and when we finished they asked if we would be willing to do some Sealings. Most of the work being done was for French-Canadian names and Scott said the sealer did an excellent job of pronouncing their names. Most of our time involved sealing daughters to their parents. The weather was never a problem and since the temple is only an hour and a half away we were able to stop on our way back in Manchester, NH so I could browse in the Hobby Lobby. Need I say more!
There is still lots of snow from our storm before Thanksgiving. I was waiting for Scott in the car after church today and realized what it means when they say the snow "blanketed" the area. Even a week later plants had big white blankets lying on top of them. In some cases the snow on a roof will slide down over the eave but will remain attached. Large areas of land have pristine patches where there is not a footprint in sight. Truly breathtaking. We have plans to go to the Joseph Smith Memorial before Christmas to see the lights on display but other than that we will probably be staying close to home. There isn't much to see when everything is white so we will probably start visiting museums and seeing movies! Don't worry, once it warms up we will get busy again and share some of the beautiful sights around the northeast.
