Phillip's Baptism

On Saturday, September 12, 2009, Phillip Matthew Hokirk, was baptized by his step-father, (dad) William Robert Strange. On Sunday, the 13th, he was confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and given a blessing by his uncle Adam Stubits (Cynthia's husband). What a wonderful day and what a thrill for this mom to see - not only Phillip, but William! My heart is very full of thanks to my Heavenly Father.

Down time before getting ready for Church on Sunday. I always love being with William, Elisa and the children; I just missed Sara this time.

Can you believe they have begun to hang the Christmas lights?

I guess it takes a while to put up as many as they do.

the TOILET

I have often wondered about this!

This seemed to be a lot of visitors' favorite display.

This is the last of the pictures of the Air and Space Museum. I totally enjoyed my walk through history and did not even scratch the surface. I will have to return one day and do all the "side rooms" with the extra exhibits and history.

Meridian Park

I met a friend late this afternoon at Meridian Park, the top photo shows it is at the corner of 15th and W Streets. Then I went with her to her place for dinner. That was nice.

This is a beautiful place with a wonderful waterfall. I will go there again sometime when I am not so tired.

This morning I found a Community Center within a mile of my home with a pool that is free to DC residents. I came home and got ready and went back and spent an hour in the pool! I will go there often, but that is part of the reason I was too tired to enjoy the park.
