Some of you noticed that I took a brief leave from writing
last week. That was because the only thing I could think of to say was "no
news is good news" (I think). not that I have anything monumental to share
now but here goes-
Another hot week but we made it till August! My highlight of
the week was watching a trek group of 300 get loaded up and off and then seeing
them come back. They were divided up into companies of 50. As they rounded the
bend coming back , one young man was heard to say as he realized where he was
"you mean we were this close last night and we didn't know it!" I
don't know if he had known, he might have gotten to the freeway and hitchhiked
home.
There's been a lot of talking and thinking about our
ancestors this past month and so I have
certainly had the opportunity to reflect on both our pilgrim and our pioneer
heritage. In our scripture study we have just finished reading the D&C and
have been reminded of the early history of the church. It has made me
appreciate all the sacrifices they made on l our behalf.
Our young Elders have had a viral gomboo that unfortunately
I have now. Don't worry about me, it's just a bad cold involving the entire
breathing system. Mom had to break the Sabbath and go buy me both DayQuil and
NightQuil. No, she did not take the opportunity to buy a Diet Coke since she
was already breaking the Sabbath (at least that's what she says).
I continue to make signs - both permanent and temporary.
This week I did some that needed to have small reflective beads painted into
the grooves of the letters - an interesting paint job I'd never done before.
We are planning a tourist type of experience for next
Thursday's. We are going with my friend, Steve Schauerhamer and his wife to San
Juan Island.
The dynamics of the personalities here is undergoing a
change. The long-termers that were here before us are officially getting
"trunkey" and when they are gone next month Mom and I will have been
here the longest. Does that mean we're "the Senior - Senior Couple"?
Who knows - love Dad
