Transcript of Adele Talking about her Grandparents

Adele: I want to talk about, Grandma Nanny’s mother. One day we were up at Pinecrest and up over the mountain up come Grandpa Campbell. That’s Nanny’s father. He came in a great big horse. He used to ride a horse up to see us in Pinecrest and that was really fun. 

Dick: He rode up City Creek and go over to top and then come back down into Pinecrest. Great horseman.

Adele: He loved it. And we loved to go to their house. Their home and we have a picture of it here was where is the Deseret Gmnasium is today. And we’d go down there on Sundays we have to go visit all the family on Sundays. And grandpa loved food. He loved black bitter licorice. and he’d cut us off a little piece and it would really shake us up.

Adele: Nanny Campbell loved to cook and she was a great cook and she made Boston Bread that she boiled in tin cans.Oh she was a lovely woman. and she’s the the reason her french heritage that we have the Ansi Bom, from her. Well I think that’s about all for now.

Notes:

MY GRANDMOTHER WAS A VERY ACTIVE TEMPLE WORKER WHO WENT TO THE TEMPLE PRETTY MUCH EVERY DAY. I DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE DID IN THE TEMPLE SHE COULD’VE BEEN PASSING OUT CLOTHING OR SHE COULD’VE BEEN DOING CLEANING. I DON’T SEE HER TAKING A ROLE IN THE CEREMONY BECAUSE SHE WAS SO SOFT SPOKEN THAT I DON’T THINK SHE WOULD LIKE THAT ROLE.

EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS WAS EXTREMELY ACTIVE IN THE CHURCH WHEN SOMEONE WOULD MENTION SOME THEORY OR THINK THEY UNDERSTOOD SOME HIGHFALUTIN DOCTRINE SHE WOULD SAY “OH THAT’S JUST TEMPLE TALK.” THOSE WERE HER WORDS ABOUT BEING PHILOSOPHICAL AND THINK YOU UNDERSTAND THE ETERNITIES. SHE WAS THE MOST WONDERFUL LADY BUT SHE DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO DISCUSS THE ETERNITIES. SHE WOULD MUCH RATHER BE DOING SOMETHING TO HELP SOMEBODY WHETHER IT WAS KNITTING OR CROCHETING OR WHATEVER SHE WAS INTO HELPING PEOPLE RATHER THAN DISCUSSING DOCTRINE.
