World Cup Soccer
A couple more weeks have passed by. Last week I attended a Relief Society lunch that was supposed to be held in the park, but it poured rain so it was in the church. There was a visiting teaching interview at the church. I went out to lunch with Claire Larson on Friday. It poured rain for several days and our basement leaked so Bob spent time with the wet dry vac.
This week we had several sunny days before it again rained on Thursday. Monday night we were in Raymond for a Family Home Evening Barbeque. We attended the temple Wednesday morning. I went visiting teaching on Thursday.
For the past two weeks as well as having been inundated with water in the basement we have been inundated with World Cup Soccer. Even the Church News had a picture of a soccer game on the cover. Bob was quite excited to find a Leighton Baines was playing for the English team. He hasn't yet been able to attach him to his family tree. One of my favorite soccer players is Lochlan Baines from Calgary.

Calgary to Lethbridge
The weather became cloudy and we had some rain. Friday evening I was hoping to see the full moon, but it had clouded over. It was that last full moon that would fall on a Friday the 13th for forty-seven years, so I probably won't be around for the next one.
Saturday morning Bob drove Orson and Liam to the Kensington area of Calgary because they had band practice. Unfortunately that was the wrong place, and by the time they got back home and found out where it was being held, it was too late to drive across the city again.
While in Kensington Bob wanted to see the house they had lived in when he was a child - 1645 Westmount Road - so they drove past. Many of the houses had been torn down including the bungalow the Baines lived in. The lots were made narrower and more houses were fit in the same space (three lots were made into four). Bob took a photo of the house that now has his old address.
Edward visited us Thursday evening and Edward and Jacqueline and all their family except Austen came for lunch on Saturday. Later on Saturday Jeremy and Julie visited and while they were there Nathan and Tara returned.
We enjoyed hearing Mickey speak in church on Sunday and Tara prepared a delicious Father's Day dinner on Sunday afternoon before we drove home to Lethbridge.

June 9th - Birthdays of Ross A Murray and Elsie D Murray
We have been home a week now. Bob got the garden planted in that time and got his home teaching done.
We watched Langley play two basketball games at the U of L. - one on Friday afternoon and one on Saturday morning.
Saturday after lunch we drove to Taber and rode with Sue-anne, Carter, Courtney and Devin to Hanna for my brother's birthday. It was a surprise party and Paulette managed to keep it a surprise. There was a tea in the afternoon and about 80 people turned up. Later there was a supper for family and friends. Four of my children and 14 of my grandchildren were there. My sister and her husband and four of her children were there along with some of her grandchilden. My aunt was there and two of my cousins were there.

Cool and Raining in Lethbridge
While we were in Utah we enjoyed warm (hot) weather.
Saturday Caden had his birthday party at the Discovery Space Center in Pleasant Grove. Darwin and Bob went with the boys. Owen attended a friend's birthday party and Chloe visited her friend. Amber and I enjoyed a movie while everyone was gone.
Caden was ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood on Sunday after church.
After a dinner of shredded pork tacos Bob and I started on our way home. We drove to Idaho Falls and stayed with the Okesons overnight. There was still blue sky and warm temperatures when we left Idaho Falls on Monday morning. However the closer we got to Canada the more clouds appeared and by the time we got home it was pouring rain.
Monday evening we attended Family Home Evening at Hironakas and heard about Cal and Anne Stewart's mission to Mongolia.
