One Day At A Time....

We both enjoy singing, yet do not get the opportunity to perform as much as we would like to because we do not currently have a branch choir. Right after work yesterday, I rushed down to BG so he could let me into the church to play the piano while he went to look at some houses with his realtor.

Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home” (McKay)"
