Two posts today.

DID YOU KNOW . . . that your fourth great grandfather, William Fotheringham, was the first in his family to join the church?  He came to America after joining the church.
He was called from the pulpit to serve a mission to India.  He and sixteen other Elders were called at the same time,  They were the very first missionaries ever to go to India.  The book "Nothing More Heroic," by R. Lanier Britsch tells about that experience and Grandfather's journal was one of the journals used to write it.


DID YOU KNOW . . . that Aunt Donetta/Mom has a terrible phobia about mice.  It came from Aunt Fay putting her to bed when she was babysitting her, when she was very little.  Aunt Faye would tell Donetta that if she got out of bed the mice would bite her feet.  That terrified her so baldly that she never got over it.

Now, fast-forward to this week.  Donetta was working in the yard when a mouse came out of the bushes.  She wanted no part of having a mouse near her house, so she picked up a stick and prodded it out to the street.  Then she guided it with her stick down the walk toward the end of the street and beginning of the mountain.  As she was guiding it down the street, some kids came out of their house to watch, and asked her if she was out walking her mouse.  How I would LOVE to have a picture of that!😂
