This morning, Heidi and I did the endowments for a couple of family members. I took Beryl Baker and Heidi took one of his sisters. Beryl was married to my grandmother Velvia Mae James. It felt special to be doing work for people who are so closely related.
This afternoon Rebecca and I got to have some Daddy-Daughter time. She wasn't able to get a gift for her friends ahead of the party. While we were moving Heather found a $15 gift card to Seagull Book. She decided that it was for us. Heidi and I decided that it would be perfect for Rebecca's friends. She found 3 matching necklaces and a compass that she can take to girl's camp with her. She is getting so grown up.
This evening we had a fun family activity after dinner. We watched the movie, Searching for Bobby Fischer. It is the most exciting movie about a 7-year-old chess player that I am aware of. Seriously though it is a great movie. We loved that the main boy stayed kind even when adults around him tried to teach him that he needed to be mean in order to win.
Mom's first marriage to Beryl was tempestuous and ended in divorce leaving Mom to raise two beautiful children. It will be interesting to find out how the two of them are getting along now
