Kind of an odd week

Well, weather, health, and one-time events all combined last week to alter our RRR or regular, retirement routine.  First, the weather at the first of the week was bitterly cold.  But, by Thursday, we had temperatures in the high 60's and low 70's for three days straight!  When the temperatures are so low, we have decided bike riding is out of the plan.  But, by the time we had the nice weather, I had come down with a cold so the last part of the week we were on a bare-bones schedule so I could get as much rest as I could.  I substituted in seminary Tuesday and Wednesday mornings which always throws us out of sync.  And, I taught a food storage class in Relief Society Thursday evening so I cancelled my lessons that evening.  We decided to go to St. Louis Friday afternoon and that cancelled all of my Friday lessons.  Oh, and my one Wednesday lesson cancelled.  I didn't teach cello lessons for three days! 

Steve and I watched Noah, Lucy, and Quinn Friday night so Emily and Joe could have a date.  We went to the 8:00 am temple session on Saturday morning and after that, I was set apart as an ordinance worker.  Steve, because of his calling in the stake presidency, cannot be an ordinance worker but he will still do other types of work in the temple (desk, baptistry, etc) when I am there.  We really cannot start until after April due to previous commitments on most of the Saturdays up to the first of May (and Saturdays are when they need the most workers, apparently) but then we will be at the temple twice a month. 

I went to pottery class Saturday afternoon where I cleaned up a large bowl and a vase, threw two plates and another large bowl and I picked up these six pieces I glazed the week before. 



Saturday evening was a Civic Orchestra concert - the theme was Slavic dance music and it was really fun to perform.  Steve, Steven, and Elise came.  I am now going to start attending Easter cantata choir rehearsals Tuesday nights so this was my last CCO concert for this season. 

Elise took this photo during intermission.  She had not been in the Missouri Theater since its complete renovation.  It is so beautiful.
