Patsy Barrus Hayes

     We received word that our dear sister Patsy passed away Saturday morning, July 29, 2017 at the age of 85.  We've never known a kinder, sweeter person who will be missed by all.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to her children and their families. Her siblings, Brent, Bev, Carolyn, Marilyn, Alfred and LeAnn were always told that the reason the folks had seven children was because they kept trying to get another Patsy!

And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street

     It's not every day you see a hostein steer saddled, bridled and a means of transportation!  This cowboy must be a very good trainer.

Happy Birthday, my little Mulan!

     Today is Addy's 5th Birthday!  Our only little granddaughter and she will be starting kindergarten in the fall.  Her Mommy and Daddy are Kylie and Michael.  Have a fun and happy day, Addy.  Her Aunt Kelsey is taking her out for a special birthday treat!

Bem Vindo, Elder Langford!

     Elder Langford is joining Elder Campos in serving with us in Tatui.  Elder Langford is from Colorado.  We are excited to be working with these great missionaries.  Elder Langford entered the Mission the same time we did.  We were in the same district for awhile and have chatted with him at Zone Meetings, so it is such a blessing to now serve with him.

Happy Birthday to You, Nathan!

     Our handsome grandson, Nathan Taylor, is 11 years old today.  Grandpa and I wish you a very happy birthday and a day full of fun and surprises!  We are so proud of you.

Ate Mais, Elder Sagae!

     Today is the last time we have the blessing of being with Elder Sagae.  He leaves this afternoon for Sao Paulo to fly home Monday night.  Although we are sad to see him go, I know his parents are excited to have him home.  I told Elder Sagae since I was a Grandma, I could give him a hug good-bye!
