Elder Jack Nelson Dr. Charles Morell. Dr of philosophy, Organ and Harpsichord builder. Student of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Teaches our Monday Professional workshop. What a great friend to Sister Nelson and I here in Texas.Sister Gaye Nelson and Carla Morell. Sister Nelson is going to help Carla learn to play to alto recorder after her retirement. They have become good friends.

This is a pump organ circa 1876 that Bro Morell is rebuilding. Brigham Young would have been President of the church and Rutherford B Hayes president of the United States.
The location of wonderful Tex-Mex food. Went to dine with the Morell's to celebrate Sister Carla's retirement after 30 years in the Plano School District.

The Nevada Ford still hanging in there strong!


First visitors of the Friday Morning at the Employment Center.

I'm not sure I can catch Sister Nelson she is half way around the Lake.

Lake Lewisville Bike trail. We made it around it Thursday morning.
Beautiful Bike path.
Duck pond half way around.
Shot of the pond and lake together. The trail goes between the two.

A few e-mail's from friends saying, "why do you just blog about your P-days?" I will try to show you a typical day!

Here is the Copy repair man doing what he does.

Well, I'm not sure you get the idea but I hope so. I could add my personal testimony about the importance of being gainfully employed and then that is about the end of the blog!

This is for the Children of Elder Jack Nelson. This is my birthday at Outback complete with a candle.

Bob was our server and lit the candle with a handy Zippo lighter,

Jill as you can see, the shirt already came in handy. I didn't wear the white one because I wasn't preaching the gospel rather enjoying a great Outback Birthday. Thanks Dalley's! Dustin worked at Outback in Las Vegas to help him get through school. I thing that was the mitigating factor that keep him engaged in the process of graduation with a BS degree~

This will be my last Birthday in Texas.

My wonderful Mission President and Employment Manager made certain it would never be forgotten. I love this lady with all my heart. She is the reason we have such a great employment center here in Dallas!
Well, I hope you get the drift why the P days could be more interesting!
