Dad getting set apart

Dad was getting set apart as stake patriarch today, so the whole Martin family in the area came to Alabama to be in attendance. Dad will be able to pronounce all Patriarchal Blessings for his grandchilren, regardless of whether they live in the Birminghame Stake or not.

Memorial Day at Mom and Dad's

First time we went swimming this year. Enjoyed the pool, the barbecue, homemade icecream and visiting with family.
