The sister missionaries popped over today to say goodbye as they are both being transferred. We have loved them both but wanted Sister Rivera for one of our grandsons. She is very cute and very hilarious.
Kona graduated from her puppy class last week and Sam accompanied us. She has not been the most cooperative puppy but she has entertained everyone and I think endeared herself to others there. Why not, because she is so cute. When it was her turn to do her requirements our doorbell sounded on my phone and Kona knows that means, we have to bark and get to the door but where was the door and how do we get there. She is a funny pup!
I made an effort to get to some church activities and participate this week. I went to the Relief Society event on Wednesday evening where we shared our “life stories”. I participated in the Ward progressive dinner Friday evening and I hosted the appetizers for the Haras, the Chans and Helena Toth. We then went to the Hara’s for the main course and dessert. The Chans brought dessert. The Shirleys were suppose to host dessert but Karen had a TIA recently and was not up to having us come. We are praying for her. It was the BC food drive on Saturday and Cindy had asked me to help with the volunteers’ lunch at the church so I was there for a couple of hours. I also attended the Empty Nester FHE on Monday at the church. Paul Christensen spoke about his volunteer projects performed around the world. Kona does not like my participation in any of these things as she is left in her crate and that does not make her happy. I am trying to do my part though it is not always easy or feel right for me. I would love to just stay home with Kona.
I leave this Friday for Kona, Hawaii to be there for Liza’s Ironman race next week. I will be leaving little Kona with Ross and Sarah so we drove out on Sunday after church for her to become acquainted with their place. We went for a walk around their area too after the family zoom and Ross held her leash. I will miss her and I hope she will be okay and that Ross and Sarah will enjoy her.
I am discouraged about the melting turf in the backyard. Each sunny day I put towels and sheets on the grass to protect it from the burning glare of the windows. I remove them so the dog can use the grass too. I had a window fellow come and he left quickly not knowing what he could do to change the windows and prevent the problem. I am also discouraged with Tesla as they cannot seem to correct my car lease. We have never leased but Tom wanted to try it. Both our names are on the lease and all I want is for them to remove Tom’s name and they make me feel that it is a major legal situation. I had Tom’s name on one of our companies changed to mine and it took only about two days with the lawyer. I love the Tesla but the company is not customer friendly or even considerate.
I am blessed and if I lose a little sleep over these other matters, I should not complain.
Years ago Tom wanted our Stake to do an annual service project. He was told that Calgary was doing a food collection for the Food Bank and so we started the food drive in our Stake. When the coordinating counsel wanted suggestions for a BC service project Tom put our project forward as an option. It was selected and has continued to grow through the years, now including the community of BC beyond the church membership. Grocery stores, fire stations and the whole of BC know about it and can participate. His influence is felt. What a quiet, precious man. Oh, how I love him and miss him.
