Happy Labor Day weekend! Hooray for 3-day weekends.
It is hot here....still. But, psychologically, having August over feels cooler. You have heard of S.A.D.? Seasonal Affective Disorder? People without enough sunshine in the winter get depressed? Well, I think it also works with summer heat. People with too much heat get depressed. I had a little bit of that in July. I really don't want to experience another Phoenix summer - ever.
Thankfully, the air conditioning situation has been resolved. They actually installed a small air conditioner in the seminary classroom. And, they replaced the old, poorly functioning thermostat with a nice, easy-to-understand programmable one. And, now we are all comfortable.
The backyard bougainvillea is in bloom again. So pretty!
The mission office looks like a used truck lot. These are all being de-commissioned. You can imagine the paper chase Steve is going through to make it so.
With new cars comes the need for new mission key chains and so I ordered 500 of them with a brand-new Arizona Phoenix Mission logo to arrive on Friday. But, guess what? They printed the OLD logo instead. Thankfully, they will rectify the problem and we will get our new logo. And, now we have 1000 new key chains. Enough to last into the millennium!
We had my cousin Dave Fraedrich and his wife Shelley over for dinner last night. It was great to catch up. Soon, I will need to arrange another Fraedrich cousin gathering - once the snowbird cousins arrive.
I went to a dermatologist on Thursday to have her look at a spot on my cheek. She took a small biopsy and we'll know in about a week if it is something to worry about. I am certainly NOT worrying about it now as I've had Sadie on my mind this past week. Her life is drawing to a close and I am flying to St. Louis on Tuesday to be with her as we let her go. Beckie (and Kyle and Micah) has been so good to deal with her physical ailments these past few months and I am so grateful for her sacrifices to take care of her.
