Those fuzzy siblings

My dad's family had a horse named Tony the Pony. Tony was a legend amongst the siblings; each claimed that Tony belonged to him. But there's nowhere to put pets on the fan chart!

That's why I'm glad they've added the Memories to Family Search. Not only can you add photos, but you can add histories, memories and stories about your ancestors — and their pets!

It will surprise you

I remember when I was a deacon we thought it was hilarious to change the words to the hymns. Not in a Weird Al parody kind of way... just changing a word or two.

It doesn't take much to get a deacon to giggle.

How to get those stubborn stains

I refuse to say whether I've heard true accounts of missionaries dragging fire hoses into their apartments. 

There's a statute of limitation on that kind of thing, isn't there?

Pulled to serve

I couldn't decide whether it should be pulling the sword from the stone that would determine a mission call, or a visit from the Lady of the Lake. But then I remembered the wisdom of Monty Python — that watery tarts handing out swords isn't a good basis for doing things.

Sword in the stone it is!

There are some days where it seems that hourly isn't nearly enough!
