Hi everyone! I'm still in Ohio, and at Suzanne and Jerry's computer, so I can't do a full spread report just yet. I thought I would try to send a few photos to whet your appetite!
The main reason for the trip was to celebrate my Mom's 85th birthday. That was successfully accomplished yesterday. She loved the shutterfly book that was put together and I was glad to be there to witness her reaction. She was thrilled.
But I must say I was unprepared for Kirtland Ohio and all the church history that is here. The Kirtland temple, the Newel K. Whitney Store, the John Johnson farm (where Suzanne and Jerry actually serve and give tours there), and the Morley Farm. All of these places have the spirit of Joseph & Emma and Sidney and Lorenzo & Eliza and many more. You get to see the places where specific revelations in the D&C were received. They even know exactly where Father and Christ have appeared. How can you put that feeling into words?
In addition we are in the middle of Amish country. It's also Memorial week-end and we attended a Civil War re-enactment. It's fun to watch Suzanne and Jerry in full swing as tour guides. It's especially nice to be able to hug my mom everyday.
Love to all!

Great pictures. I love the Packer women. And I hope Ohio can handle all three of you.
I'm sure you are having a blast! The church history sites are great. I only went when I was little so I hope we can go again soon!
