Short entry tonight….because Sunday was REALLY full. Starting in May, I will be a temple worker in the St. Louis temple and I needed to attend some training Sunday afternoon at the temple. Steve had to attend the Macon branch conference – this is located an hour north of Columbia. He drove up early with the stake leadership. I drove up an hour and a half later. Turned out, their only organist was out of town so I got to play for sacrament meeting. At 1:00, Steve and I both left for the 2 hour 45 minute drive to St. Louis for the 4:00 meeting. Emily met us in the parking lot to pick up a salmon (gift from Derek Ellingson) and a sugar-free dessert. We joined the Southerlands at 6:30 for a delicious dinner and to deliver this bench
(made out of an old headboard and
footboard) and Lucy’s birthday gifts.
Here is Lucy showing the bag I made for her to tote her
matching pencil/skinny marker bag and drawing pad.
And, here she is with the tiny tea set I
found.
We headed for home around 8:00 and drove back in lots of rain.
Saturday was also a REALLY full day. It started by going with Lizzy Crippen to the
enormous Habitat for Humanity yard sale.
( look at the "ghost" kid in the center! I think he is reflecting a sunbeam)
For a $3.00,
I found a belt, a bust of Bach and a little primitive wooden school house. Then, it was the stake single adult brunch at
Bob Evans. Then, it was taking
interested single adults to shop at the Amish.
Then, it was an MMCO rehearsal followed by shopping. And collapse in exhaustion after dinner.
Other week highlights:
Lizzy came over for dinner and FHE on Monday. I enjoyed sewing and watching Divergent and Insurgent again to prepare for Elise and I to go see Allegiant on Friday. I did lots of yard work since spring is here.
The apple trees are in beautiful bloom and the pie cherry is just starting to
pop its blossoms. Steve’s raspberries
and blackberries are thriving. I bought
two blooming strawberry plants at the Amish to add to my supplement my
strawberry bed.
