On August 7th Mom gave the fireside. It was about her grandmother, Margaret Mariah Terry Mendenhall Cloward. We learned about the many places that Grandma Cloward lived in her life-time. I counted 28 places that she had lived. I read the story that Grandma wrote about the year they had Christmas in a stable. When I think about all that they went through just to make a living, and that they still had faith and raised a large family, it makes me very grateful for the heritage we have been blessed with.
After the lesson we enjoyed the many desserts that were served.
I hope that everyone will come to the Mendenhall Family reunion on September 2 in Payson to get to know more about this branch of our family!
Our next Fireside will be September 4th @6:30.
