Most would think my life would be quieter, with not a great deal to fill my days but that is not the case and every week seems to be full to the brim. I actually think that is probably best and I have said that I believe Tom is whispering in everyone’s ears “Keep her busy!” Life would be harder if it were not so busy. I am also overwhelmed with everyone’s kindness and concern and feel I should be doing more for others. These are my thoughts of the week and pretty well every week.
I made lasagna ahead and fruit pizza before Liza’s family came on the weekend. Cindy and Paul took me to see the live performance at the Stanley of “The Carole King Story”. She has been a writer and performer of her own music over decades and most of her songs are well known to generations. It was fun to go. Max and Jacqui arrived later on Saturday for their summer visit and Cindy took them immediately to the outdoor symphony. I was able to see them on Sunday at church before they were off to spend time with the Hardy family. Liza’s family arrived later Sunday evening and we then had a late supper. On Monday we all went blueberry picking with the Hardy Family and then to A+W for lunch with them. Cindy picked up flowers I had asked her to order and we all then met at the cemetery where we had a family gathering to commemorate the placing of Grampa’s headstone. Liza played the Tabernacle Choir singing “Be Still My Soul” on her phone and Max offered a family prayer. They were all pleased with the headstone. We then ordered Chinese food and spent the evening at my home. The Burgess family left the next morning for a hike on Vancouver Island while Sayde does the Easter Seal camp on the island. Bryson received his mission call the day they left but doesn’t want to open it until this weekend so we are all waiting in anticipation.
Kona went to the groomer last Friday and to the vet for a follow up visit on Monday. She ended up getting some vaccinations too.
I went out for lunch with Tanya and Judy Leemhuis on Tuesday. They drove out to take me for lunch and brought me a plant and some apricot cake. It was so kind of them and it was fun visiting and catching up. Cheyenne also needed a ride to her swimming class on Tuesday morning and I ran to the bank after as my credit card had been used fraudulently to purchase over $5,000.00 worth of merchandise at Crate and Barrel. I had cancelled my credit card on Monday, then got cash at the bank Tuesday and received my new card by courier Wednesday. So disconcerting! Tuesday was a busy day.
I cleaned after Liza’s family left and have now made another lasagna for the Hardy family who will come for dinner this Sunday after Liza’s family leave for home. I need to prepare for Jack and Jeannette as well. They will come next week during our Moroni’s Quest TriStake Youth Event but I will take time away from the event for them. They are off on their Alaska cruise and will spend a couple of nights with me as they come and go.
Summer is busy, life is busy and it is all good.
