Autmn and Noah are supposed to pop over, and I’m in my PJ’s and robe. With my hair scrunched up in a clip. Oh, well. It is what it is! I was working outside for about an hour and a half. Got about 2/3rds of the center section done. It was a cool evening and in the shade so it was a good opportunity to work outside.
Mary and I had 3 visitors in Sunday School this morning, in addition to Max and Gracie. One was Sawyer, a granddaughter of one of our members. The other two little guys have been coming to Second Hour and this was their first time in Sunday School. I think they enjoyed the class – but having kids from age 4 up through age 7 is tricky. The older ones are SO ready for deeper lessons! But it went well.

After church Kathy picked me up and we went to Delmont for a presentation by our second First Lady, Abigail Adams. She did an excellent job! I had to remind myself several times that it wasn’t really her. She divided the session into three parts. The first was her presentation; the second was questions and answers with her still in character. The third was questions and answers with her as herself, about her research and studies and professional life. She has portrayed many other people in addition to Abigail.
Some facts that I learned: Her husband, John Adams, called her Miss Adorable. They wrote over 2000 letters to each other. She said the hardest part about being a mother is losing a child. When John Adams was helping write the Declaration of Independence she wrote to him and told him to REMEMBER THE LADIES. He laughed at her! She was not a fan of Thomas Jefferson. After the revolutionary war John Adams ended up being an ambassador to England.
She is a very talented and lovely lady and a great speaker. Check her out on facebook as JoAnn F Peterson or at joannpeterson.com.

Quote:
TOMORROW September 11th is:
National Boss/Employee Exchange Day; National Make Your Bed Day; Patriot Day and National Day of Service; National Hot Cross Bun Day.
Never forget 9.11. THAT’s what will make our country great. I make my bed EVERY SINGLE DAY! I would not want to exchange places with my boss – any of them. Their job is way more challenging than mine! Have a great day – and remember what you were doing 9-11-2001. God bless — our country and its people.
