Change Your Oil, Your Heart, Your Mind ...

I started this a long time ago and never finished. The impetus of this post was bumping into a fellow named Malcolm, who had been in a YSA ward with Miriam.

Malcolm

I went to Walmart to get an oil change a few months back, and started talking to a technician, Malcolm. There was some kind of delay and so I was asking him some questions. He then paused and asked if I knew someone named Miriam with the same last name as mine. Well, of course!

Empty Nesters, Full Sound

Lori Altice invited the remainder of the Benge Family Singers (or whatever we call ourselves) to perform at the family night for the "Empty Nesters" in the ward: all the couples who no longer have children at home. Everyone here agreed to prepare, even with Rachel being gone a lot. (Thank you, children!) 

So, we started to work on some of the things we done in the the past and some things the children were working on. Susie put together a fun little program, roughly sketching out the music trajectory of our family.
