It is beautiful here today! With all of the rain we have had the trees and shubs are all brillant greens and the flowering plants are vivid colors.
Spent the morning studying and gathering clothes to wash. Unfortunately when the clothes were ready to be rinsed the water went off. The last time that happened I had wet clothes for two days and they really stunk! I finally just draped them over the chairs in our "clothes drying room" and will have to wash them when we have water again.
On Friday nights the senior couples meet at the Casa to go out to dinner together. They try to go somewhere new each time but after while find favorites that they return to. We haven't gone with them yet. We had a meeting out in the San Cristobal Stake so the Snow's called and proposed that we all go to Johnny Rocket's for supper then they would go with us out to San Cristobal. Johnny Rockets is a high end hamburger place they just opened. It is supposed to be the biggest in their chain of restaurants.
When we met them at the Casa the Mahons were visiting with them. They had been looking for an apartment and hadn't found one. Sister Mahon asked if we had a swimming pool where we lived- we laughed - and said we were lucky to have water period. She said they had told them not to look at apartments in our building. Can you believe that???
There is little parking around Johnny Rockets but when we got into the parking lot they took the car and parked in underground parking. The atmosphere was fun - a jukebox with old Frank Sinatra songs and other old and new songs; balloons tied everywhere, and an entirely different clientele than you see at McDonalds. These were obviously more privileged young adults. Yuppies Scott says...
Most of the young men we have seen have very short haircuts but many of these kids were not black and had full heads of hair. It was actually rather strange to see so many young men with hair! This was a group of people here we have never seen - more Puerto Rican. Most of the people we have met here could not afford to come here to eat.
While we were eating our delicious hamburgers it started to rain again - it was almost like a mini-hurricane. The rain was coming down so hard, the wind was blowing the rain every which way.
Before we left the McDermits and the Glaziers came in for dinner and gave us a bad time for going earlier without them.
Driving here is scary at best, but riding is even worse. The rain was leaving water on the roads making them slippery and hard to see but that did not inhibit these drivers at all. What I can feel all of the time is the protection we are blessed with!
