I drove the deck furniture up to the cabin yesterday and unloaded it all before the rain started. I just love to sit and watch the birds and feel the breeze and have a few hours out of the HEAT of the valley.
I received so many lovely gifts from neighbors, friends and my family. Wow! The first year EVER that I have been remembered by my visiting teachers (38 years in the church now)....I was so shocked! One of them brought me a bottle of hand soap. The visiting teacher I had before the mission didn't come for 9 months. I had taken her to lunch when she moved into our ward and thought I would make a friend. She announced that she was disappointed to move into a ward with so many skinny blond women. She informed me that she didn't EVER do her visiting teaching. She held to her word. She was made RS counselor and got up and preached to us all at the VT conference that year. I laughed all the way home...to be fair to her, I gave two of her daughters piano lessons one before and one after the mission..she cheated me both times and wouldn't pay the full amount. The second daughter just stopped coming...no phone call...no check...nothing....I get a kick out of being ignored in the hall at church. LOVE it! I could write an entire novel on THAT particular topic (members who don't pay for services.)
No...THIS year has been special. I am truly SPOILED!!!!!! Next week I go to California to celebrate my youngest brother's 50th. My other brother will fly out too and we will have a BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA! Shopping and eating in Cali is always a treat.
