Today is Ross and Sarah’s wedding day. Because of covid restrictions, only ten people were permitted to be in attendance and that eliminated not only grandparents but siblings. Sarah wanted it in a park behind her home. Because it snowed yesterday, it was a little chilly and there was snow and water dripping on them from the trees but they seemed happy. They were having trouble broadcasting the ceremony for others to see. Cindy FaceTimed us and we will watch the filmed version later, as will the rest of the family. They are having a drive by reception this evening over by the Temple. We look forward to the time when Tom can perform their sealing in the Temple.
We went to Karl on Wednesday to get my hair cut, then picked up some Chinese food at Capilano Heights restaurant, went to see our old house and over to the cemetery to place little Christmas trees on Mom and Dad’s graves. The yard at our old house is overgrown and out of control. We have been trying to post more Christmas Cards and email and phone our friends to check on them and for Christmas. Our Willoughby Ward Devotional “Silent Night, Holy Night” was broadcast Saturday evening. We had previewed it first and were thrilled with what the Vernons had done with it. It was lovely and people seemed to enjoy it. We had wonderful performers and we feel that the Lord blessed us as it all came together. We had a busy but nice Sabbath day. We watched the London Temple Christmas Devotional and heard from all the presidency members. It was lovely to see them and hear from them. We watched our sacrament meeting and Cindy spoke and did well. We then zoomed Betty Small’s funeral and Tom gave the closing prayer. It was nice to see everyone from our old ward. We took Carol Jones the sacrament after all these meetings. Sundays can be busy even when we don’t go to the church.
We went to the hospital on Friday morning for Tom to have a biopsy of his prostate. The security fellow told us that only the person having the procedure was allowed to enter but he could see that we wanted to be together and he would make an exception for us and so I went in too. They took 12 biopsy samples. He took it easy that day and did fairly well recovering from the procedure but his tummy has still been upset and his back has still been causing him a lot of pain. He is now feeling better overall. He has had some good sleeps except for one night.
Tom has completed another puzzle. We are not sure how many he has finished during our isolation time. We have lost count.
