What a day this has been! The blessings in my family this past couple of weeks has been miraculous. I realize we could spend the rest of our lives on a mission for the Lord and never come anywhere near being worthy of the blessings we have been given. We are so grateful! Being in the temple tonight was a choice experience. The handicapped sister from here that comes on Tuesdays was there tonight; along with the young woman we are teaching music lessons. I was privileged to sit by and help the handicapped sister. She is Dominican and a beautiful older woman- probably in her eighties. You can see that it is difficult for her to be there but she is there most Tuesdays. I just hope that I am as courageous as she is when I am old (er) and decrepit.
We got to Skype with DeDe this morning. It was so good to see her! I'm really grateful she looks after our kids for us. How wonderful it is to be able to talk to friends and family.
Our sink has been leaking around the edges into the cupboard below because the sealant has deteriorated so we grabbed Scott's pants that need to be cleaned, locked the door from the inside and headed out only to realize that the keys to the apartment and that car were still in the apartment. Thank heavens we had a phone and had made an extra set of keys and left them with our neighbor. He was at work but came back and let us in with his keys! You would think we would learn, but no. Thought I might have a heat stroke waiting in the hallway for him to come though. William, bless his heart, was so concerned about us locking ourselves out he was trying to figure out how to get us in. You have to wonder what these people think of us. I'm guessing they think we are just a bit loony! Every time we drive in and out they are sitting at the gate and they smile at us like "Where are you going now?"
My kids would love this new Richard Simmons Disco CD I have. They loved to sit and laugh at me while I exercised to his old CD's. It has actually been fun!
We tried a new fruit today but neither of us can remember what it is called. When we asked what it was, about the size of an orange, the man squoze it open at the top, pulled it apart and handed each of us a piece. The inside was pale orange, sweet, and kind of mushy but he talked Scott into buying three. Now we are trying to find people to give some of them to!
