If you checked the blog you would have noticed I haven't been doing much sharing. More will come during the week! This week we went to the Costco in Nashua to pick up our Christmas cards and then when it wasn't my turn to digitize photos I worked on getting our cards ready to mail out. (All of our documents have been fluffed--more are coming in next week). The picture was taken in front of the Boston Temple but we forgot to put our badges on. At work we wear white badge that say "Family Search" and on Sunday we wear our regular name badges that are black and we forgot to bring them to the temple when we went.
My friend Beth asked about the Boston Temple and I have to say it is quite beautiful and even though it runs alongside a freeway, it is very quiet and peaceful. The people attending are from many different areas and cultures and it is fun to see such a variety of Saints gathered together. We have attended two sessions and did sealings, which is always so interesting.
I was to report to the hospital at 9 a.m. on Friday for removal of my gallbladder. It was a little sad because this little organ has served me well for over 60 years and I wasn't sure that I really wanted to have it removed. Fortunately, all went well and I have slowly began to mend. Going grocery shopping on Saturday morning probably wasn't the smartest thing to do, but I have been taking it easy ever since. We will get back to work tomorrow and Scott told me that I couldn't do any heavy lifting--so I am covered.
The work is going really well. All the 1850-1870 probate files from Rockingham County are now digitized and the next set should bring us more typed documents (which we began to see in the late 1870s). The handwriting is so interesting. Some of it is quite ornate, some very ink stained and others particularly beautiful. It took a while to see the difference between an H and an N or a G, an S, or an L, but I pretty much see the little differences now at a glance.
The snow is beginning to melt and I know what dirty snow looks like--not pretty! I'm sure we will have another big storm before Christmas, which is fine, but I just don't want any more power outages. I hope everyone is getting ready for Christmas and the kids are having a great time with all the celebrations at church and school. We love you and appreciate all the prayers said in my behalf this week. It worked!
