Yesterday, Elder Graff and I celebrated 44 years of marriage. What a lot of great memories we have shared together. We ate dinner at another Cuban Restaurant. They spoke to us in Cuban (spanish) and the menu was in spanish. The dinner was okay, but not as good as the one in Miami Beach.

Last week was very busy. We met with Brother and Sister Clanton, who are over all the Family History Centers in the Mission. It is their responsiblity to see that the equipment all works and that they have internet for the computers. He liked my "Football Analogy" and wanted a copy of it. They gave us some more names for consultants in some of the wards that I needed. We went over the report on new members that I am submitting to the bishops after we work with them. He liked it and she didn't.

Visited the Miami Beach FHC and met Ilana Burdick. Introduced Roots Magic to her and two of her consultants. I really am pleased when they understand how great it works with New Family Search.

Our meeting with the Collins, who are the other senior couple that do apartment inspection went well. Since we offered to drive south and do the Key West and Marathon apartments, they are taking six more apartments than we have. I guess they feel that time and mileage averages it out. We had to give up some of the apartments we had already visited. It felt like giving some of our up. I'll especially miss the "cookie monster".

On our way back to Boca Raton we stopped at the Collins home and I was able to have her download Roots Magic and get her started with the data input. She signed into NFS and was off and running when we left. Our meeting at the Boca Raton FHC was well attended and we were able to show them all how Roots Magis works with NFS. These evening meetings get us home late at night. But I let Elder Graff sleep in on most of the next mornings.

Brother Pete Arnett is our FM Group advisor. (Facility Management) I thank the Lord every day for him. He has become our cheerleader and confidant. I can run ideas by him and get great feedback. He is working ahead of us with the FHC and making sure that they have Roots Magic installed at each location.

Spud came down with the flu or something Friday. So I let him sleep in. I worked on the computer and logged my FHC visits into that website. I also outlined our visit to Key West and made a list of the Elders and Sisters and phone numbers that we need to contact and tell them when we will be there and see if they need any supplies or something for their apartments.

Saturday we attended an informal dinner at the Hogges apartment. We got to visit with all the senior couples. It was a lot of fun. They are great people and keep telling us to hang in there. The driving will get easier. It is, but we could not get along without "Precious" our GPS lady.

The "Hooter Tooters" are arriving from up north. It has become a joke for us. A split second after the lights turn green, they are laying on their horms for the line to get moving. They will not wait at all in line at the grocery store and yesterday, I had a lady demand to be waited on at JoAnn's. I wonder if they realize how much they are being laughed at.

We are making cookies to take to the young missionaries down south this morning. Thank you Jiffy for the cake mix recipe. It might cost a little more, but SO EASY and the kids love them.
Hopefully will have some more pictures for this by next week. Especially of the Marathon Key where we will be staying.
