I filled in as the LOW last Thursday evening for Erika Leavitt as she received her OE. She is Brian and Brenda’s granddaughter and a cute girl just feeling ready for the Temple. As it turned out I knew her other grandparents the Johnson’s . Georginna Johnson is from the McConnell family from Schelelt and Tom was their Bishop years ago and we had attended their wedding. Fun to make those connections and be part of this special evening for their family.
I made food in advance for Liza’s family coming last weekend - bran muffins and lasagna. It was nice having them here. Liza and. Brendon got to the Temple to do sealings with Cindy and Paul and then the girls all went to Sarah’s baby shower while I served in the Temple filling in for Minna as assist coordinator. They all came over for dinner afterward and the Burgess family had the chance to see Jack and catch up with him. He has had a cold since going to the YSA conference in Edmonton. The Burgess family headed home Sunday afternoon.
Cheyenne was home for reading week this week and Jean had me for dinner on Monday evening and we enjoyed a Chinese “hot pot” which was new to me. Cheyenne spent much of the time working on an assignment that was due but finally sat down to eat. She came back home with me to visit Kona.
I went over to Rosemarie’s home on Tuesday afternoon to help her with some redesign. We had lunch then I hung pictures, moved some furniture and redid one shelf. I will need to return and she wants me to consult on some furniture decisions she is making. It was fun but crawling around and up and down wears me out more as I get older.
Our niece Annie’s husband Kyle has stayed with me this week from Wednesday to Sunday. Their daughter Reece has been involved in university basketball playoffs at UFV. They did well and came in second to University of Saskatchewan. Annie and Kyle had five girls and just recently a little tail end baby boy. Kyle brought Reece over to see me one day.
The ward had a progressive dinner on Saturday and I had signed up and volunteered to do dessert. With Kyle and Reece coming and going I told them I had better not go to the first part but wanted them to come to my home for dessert. Kyle got home to join with dessert party and I invited Jean and Cheyenne before Cheyenne flew back to school last night.
Bryson arrived in Holland this week and has been struggling but they realized that his medications need some serious adjusting and we are hopeful and praying that makes a difference. He has so been looking forward to this Dutch Mission and we want him to enjoy it.
This is a memory picture from Tom’s memorial service as I sat and talked to people after the service all the while being surrounded by loving angels.
