A Young Fish Swims into a Bar ...

... and the bartender asks "Shouldn't you be in school?"

One of my favorite experiences was when Mom discovered that her cousin had a missionary in Taiwan. That was a neat experience for me. We second cousins made sure we got together before we came home. (He married a church member from Taiwan and is a physician in Cananda now.)

Today at work, signs in the lunch room encouraged us to download the FamilySearch Tree app to our phone. (It is best if you turn GPS on). There is an option to see relatives that also have the application nearby.

President Nelson, Pope Francis and Rabbi Yahuda Krinsky Walk into a Bar ...

I am going to just share news you may or may not know, using the fabulous "bullet point" format to see how it works on the blog.

Halloween Pics, Miriam's Birthday, Plus Some Non-Spooky Stuff

There She Is, Miss Aphonia

I am surprised I didn't anticipate this. The other day, Esther prayed for Miriam's misophonia, and the added something like "bless her that she won't miss her phone." Of course.

I may have shared these at Thanksgiving. They are better the first time around.

This is a great joke Andrew told me--and didn't understand:
