Emily had a busy day today.

Emily is still working on getting the deed for the property in Kentucky squared away.  She had a meeting with her attorney and had to redo some of the paperwork that Kentucky needs to take care of transferring the deed to Mom's name. The property in Kentucky was near the Wright homestead, and not too awfully far from the Stepping Rock where most of the children were born.

After taking care of the attorney business, she had some banking business to do.  This particular bank still didn't have a copy of Gene's death certificate.  It's an ongoing process with reminders all along the way.  Emily still says from time to time that it doesn't feel quite real, and that Gene was taken from us way too soon.

This evening Emily had a session meeting at church. When they found a church home at First Cumberland it was a great thing.  The church is so close to the house, and it's no trouble at all to make a quick trip there for any reason.  The two ministers who have served the church in the time that they've been here have been so welcoming and wonderful.  Emily and Gene quickly became very involved in the life of the church and have made wonderful friends there.  Emily receives so much support from her involvement there.  Her work in the womens' ministry, as an elder, and on the Christian Education committee give her an opportunity to use her strengths in work that's really important to her.
