I opted out of attending a birthday brunch for one of our friends. LaVona was the birthday girl and Diane was hosting the get together.
Right as Glen and I were figuring out what he wanted for lunch (he chose pepperoni, potato chips and pickles--YUCK!!!!), the doorbell rang.
There stood Diane with this beautiful plate of food. How timely! How kind!! How thoughtful!!! How delicious!!!!
Glen and I have such differing likes of what we prefer to eat. A bonus for me with this plate of food is I saved half of it to eat the next day. YUM!!!
The Black Lives Matter protests keep happening, along with rioting and looting. If only we could all be more like Mr. Rogers.
The leaders of the Church have given the okay for church buildings to open up once again for shortened sacrament meetings with smaller groups of people in attendance. In the meantime, we continue to have our home sacrament meeting as usual.
We really enjoy listening to Music and the Spoken Word right before we begin our meeting. It has been nice to use the Hymns app so we can sing hymns during our meeting. Glen has figured out how he can kneel and pass the sacrament with the big cast on his leg.
We study Come Follow Me during our meeting and enjoy watching any videos suggested in the lesson. It is very spiritual and very fulfilling for us. I continue to be thankful for the way we had been faithfully doing Come Follow Me every week to prepare us for this time when public church meetings have been suspended.
Sunday evening we had a Missionary Reunion Zoom Meeting. Our missionary from Bolivia requested we do it and others agreed. We weren't able to have a reunion in April due to COVID-19, so this request seemed reasonable.
There were 70 participants, which included some missionaries doubled up together at the same location--namely the missionaries who have married each other and the missionaries who are roommates. So we felt like there were probably 85 people in attendance.
We felt like it went pretty well, although it was sad we couldn't really visit with them. I couldn't even see everyone who was on the call. We gave our messages and kept the meeting to 45 minutes and felt good about that.
I was so mad when it was over that I hadn't thought to take a photo. Then later I noticed one of the sisters posted this message on Instagram and so now I have a picture reminder of that event.
It got downright windy, stormy and cold for a few days. I switched from air conditioning to having the furnace running. So strange in the month of June. The grass and plants sure look nice after the rain.
Here's the man of the house, taking a little break from sitting at his desk, with his casted leg thrown up on the back of the couch trying to get some relief from the pain.
He keeps telling me how painful the long incisions are on the top of his foot and around his ankle. I think he got traumatized by seeing them when the doctor removed the bandages.
I am loving his work look--especially when he wears the bright blue sweat pants. The tie he picked out this particular day matched the pants exactly. He even got a compliment on his tie when he had a Zoom meeting with his boss. I had him reassure me his pants were not visible during the call.
The weather had warmed up once again and I was able to talk Glen into taking a break out on the front bench so he could enjoy being outdoors for a few minutes. He's been quite the house hermit these past 3 weeks.
Dad and Mom were in Bountiful one day and stopped by for a masked visit. It will be nice when we can do away with the face coverings and enjoy each other's smiles once again.
I asked if they were going to stop at Nielsen's Frozen Custard on the way home. They answered in the affirmative. With all the flavors available, I do not understand why they both like maraschino cherry concrete so much.
It all has to do with their childhoods. Their mothers fed them maraschino cherry flavored stuff. I thanked Mom for not passing that tradition on to us.
With Lagoon opened up now, Rebecca's family decided to give it a try. They don't want their season passes to go unused.
Just crossing our fingers they don't get any of the deadly coronavirus germs from their amusement park visits.
Rebecca probably has more concerns about whatever germs she picked up from the gate that got closed on her heel causing lots of bleeding, needing first aid assistance, filling out accident forms and getting a tetanus shot (at my persistent insistence!!).
Despite Rebecca's misfortune at Lagoon, Madison had a much better time there.
Ben, Haley and Kade came over tonight for dinner.
Let's check in with Abe and see what he and his family are up to lately. He and Klarissa posed in front of the doors where they had their engagement photos taken. My how the times have changed.
It probably didn't take Magnus long to shed his mask once their family was aboard an airplane flying them away from San Francisco. Looks like now is the perfect time to take a flight when you get the whole plane to yourself.
Flight destination: Florida!
What fun the three little ones will have this summer spending time with their grandparents and playing in the ocean.
