Remember Moore

I remember when Pres. Hinckley came to visit our city. He asked the choir to sing "Shenandoah" because he had heard that that was one of their best numbers. They all looked at him because that song wasn't on the program. He said, "Well, come on, we haven't got all day!" I miss him.

Moore Cougars

Tyler has been accepted! He even got a two-semester scholarship. He'll go this August. The tradition continues.

Moore books

I read a book that some of you might like. It's not the kind of book I usually read, but I'm glad I read it. It's called Kindred by Octavia Butler. It was written in 1979, but it must have had a recent resurgience in popularity. It's about slavery, and I shouldn't tell you anymore if you're going to read it. (If not, just call me.) I will say that it made me think about some things.

I read another book that is the kind of book I usually read, and probably no one would want to read it. It's called Copernicus' Secret. It's about Copernicus' book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres which was the first major publication for centuries that claimed that the universe was heliocentric instead of geocentric. I was thinking what it would be like if the whole way we explain the world around us were suddenly changed and reexplained in a different way. I don't know if I would like that.

Moore Christmas

My friend gave me an Amaryllis bulb in early December, and I gave it life. That is an accomplishment for me; I don't do very well with living plants. Isn't it beautiful?

We went to Williamsburg for the Grand Illumination. That means they shoot off fireworks to officially start the Christmas season.

Moore Thanksgiving

We had an awesome time in New York. Jed & Heather were fabulous hosts, and Hebe was a wonderful tour guide. Yupp was great at entertaining and carrying Lanie.
