From Mary Blandford McGehee ('62) of LA - 08/18/11:
Having received my call on

Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Washington Seattle Mission beginning
Wednesday, September 14, I'm making my final preparations now. I've
finished with all the physicals, dental exams (all four wisdom teeth
extracted), immunizations, eye exams (still waiting for my new
glasses to arrive), and a plethora of other necessary details.
This Saturday I'll go to the Raleigh Temple with
my family and close friends to receive my endowment. On Wednesday,
September 7 we'll fly back to Illinois, where President Holt will set me
apart on Tuesday, September 13. Then I'll fly to Salt Lake City the next
morning. My friend April will meet me at the airport and drive me down to
Provo to the Missionary Training Center where I'll spend about two weeks
before flying to Seattle. |

Today
Words and Music by
Randy Sparks (b. 29 July 1933)Recorded by the New Christy Minstrels
, 1964
Today, while the blossoms still cling
to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover
You'll know who I am by the songs that I sing
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover
Who cares what the morrow shall bring
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
I can't be contented with yesterdays glory
I can't live on promises winter to spring
Today is my moment, now is my story
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today
