With the weather still sunny and warm and me not yet having a solution to my bedroom windows focusing the sun downward and melting my artificial turf, I find it necessary to place sheets and towels on the grass each day to protect it. Yesterday while picking up stones to hold the sheets down, I picked up this heart shaped stone that I had never noticed before and I decided it was a little love message from Tom encouraging me on as I deal with this frustrating yard challenge. I miss him being here to discuss such things with and in this case I realize he would probably be handling the whole situation. I am learning and becoming stronger than I thought I could be but I still appreciate messages of love and support.
I was able to complete a number of things that I had wanted to get done this week. Kona and I got the inside of the car cleaned and vacuumed and then took it to the car wash to get the outside done. I got all my Temple clothes washed and ironed. The lawyer completed the probate paperwork for the one BC numbered company that was in Tom’s name and Cindy and Paul helped print out my copies of the changes. I had lost my gmail account while trying to print the copies out myself on the big downstairs computer. Cindy thankfully helped me retrieve that lost account after a mandatory 48 hour waiting period. I taught the resurrection portion of Myrna Olson’s primary lesson on Sunday. I made cheese and ham scones this week and shared them with the Hardy family and Jean. I also gave Jean soup left from Tom’s service as she is busy with her schooling and new job doing childcare at the Richard Bulpitt school. I took Cindy’s family A+W for dinner on Monday after Paul and Sam trimmed my dogwood tree in the back. I have enjoyed my sunflowers given me by Rosemarie and so I bought and delivered sunflowers to Jillian Collingridge Peralto as a gift from Cindy and myself as Jillian just had a new baby girl Nella. I also finally was able to have Ryan my landscaper view and discuss my burned backyard turf. He said it would get taken care of but I am still left trying find a solution to it happening in the first place. The installation of the film has not helped the problem.
My sweet ministering sisters came to visit me yesterday and dear Laurel Christensen invited me to lunch on Friday with her mother and Virginia Towers. It was very kind of her and fun to be with all those ladies.
Kona is doing better at her classes and just overall. Paul came with me last week to help out. She seemed to have injured her paw on Saturday evening as we were preparing to go for Ross’ birthday dinner. We ended up in animal emergency but she miraculously seemed to be fine by the end of the night and $200 later. Good thing she is so cute. Everyone loves her and thinks she is so sweet and she is.
Warm weather continues and I am starting to prepare for my trip to Kona to support Liza’s race. I miss Tom always but I am trying my best and have been greatly blessed even by rocks in our yard.
