As I was waiting for my slow computer to upload Blogger, it had the number 666 for blog number. Yikes! But, this blog is the 667th which just boggles my mind. But, if one divides by 52 - one blog per week which is my goal - the number is almost 13 years and I guess the number makes sense...
It was a quiet week at the Lambson house. On Monday, I went to my first Women's meeting for Afghanistan refugees. It lasts two hours and there are two volunteer women who help with the numerous children while the mothers practice English and do various other activities. Monday evening, we had the sister missionaries over for dinner and we caught the latest All Creatures Great And Small.
Tuesday we had gutter guards installed on the east side of our house. We had the west side taken care of soon after we moved in because there was a huge pine tree in our next door neighbor's yard that shed needles profusely into our gutters causing them to overflow. We didn't think we needed anything on the east side but we neglected to take into account wind and the huge oak tree in the neighbor's back yard. So, we are now protected all around.
Wednesday was our actual 49th wedding anniversary and we celebrated with home grilled pork steaks. I also used some of my very hard earned beginning string teaching money and bought myself a Husqvarna sewing machine. I didn't get a high-end computerized one because frankly, I don't need that much machine and using Elise's can be frustrating as I try to figure things out on it. I got the same kind that I used while we were on our mission and I was able to borrow one from the ward.
Thursday evening was Kindness Begins With Me and I continue to learn more and more on how I can do my job.
Friday I taught lessons in the morning, we attended the temple in the afternoon, and we went out to dinner to Bob Evans with our friends Mary and Walter Bell. They bought dinner, which was very nice of them, and we offered to buy dessert at the nearby Culvers but Walter showed a sour face which clearly indicated he has inferior dessert tastes! So, Steve and I treated ourselves to Culvers without them.
Saturday was the baptistry, lessons at the Southerlands, and I started a new cello student. It was a pretty exhausting day, to be honest.
Sunday was fairly usual although we did have a Welcome Center meeting mid-afternoon.
And, that wraps up the week. No photos. No fun movies that we watched. We started the latest Mission Impossible but, honestly, it was stressing me out with all the chasing and running and we just turned it off.
