Beneath the Wraps

          I have been pretty good about figuring out the topic for the class discussions and have usually done by initial post on Monday.   I usually look at the assignment before the lecture, but seemed to have failed on looking at my history assignment in detail.   We are required to do a power point which usually wouldn't be a big deal, but Jenna is off from school this week and I hate leaving her alone, but I am required to have references.   Searching for articles, and creating cites is always so time consuming.   It steals away time, not just from me, but from my family.           Lectures are on Monday, which has also taken away from family time - though I don't have to be at the live session.   I can always watch or rewatch the recordings.   My history instructor, thus far, has taken two hours to present the material - though the first hour is gene...

(this post is about presidents past and NOT the current election)                   Jenna and a classmate are going to give an assigned PowerPoint this week.   I haven't seen any of it as it was a project they worked on it at school.   The first PowerPoint that I remember Jenna doing for her current school was a presentation on one of our former presidents.         Before she had been assigned this task, I had told her that if ever she was to do a report on an American President, to pick either William Henry Harrison or Gerald Ford as William Henry Harrison was Pres. for only one month and Gerald Ford is the only President that hadn't been voted to be president (or vice-president) by the public.   I just like interesting facts that set apart from others.   But I suppose they all have something interesting about them. ...

       The primary had their program yesterday and only one practice.   I didn't understand as it feels so late in the year.   I don't recall there being a primary program this late in the year - not with any of the wards I've been in - including this one.   Last year we had more practice and performed on October 18.          This is the first year that Jenna wasn't on the stage as she is no longer in primary.   But as I looked out in the audience, I could see her singing along, and it really made me smile.   I'd have to honestly say that it was my favorite part about having the primary program.   I think the children did quite well for only one practice.        Growing up, my favorite thing about Thanksgiving was spending it with a different group of people than the year prior as I mentioned here .  The smallest Thanksgivings I can remember incl...
