What can be said about this week? We are trying to get back to our schedules. The days all fuse together.
Claude came back and got a cold. I am trying to get it now. Ugh. Such is the nature of leaving a very hot, very humid climate and returning to high temperatures in the low 30's and snow on the ground. Albeit a little bit of snow, but still cold enough to snow and stick and stay. We decided to test ourselves for Covid on Wednesday. Figured we had been home long enough to show the signs if we were going to get it again. We both tested negative. So, we are sure this is our bodies dealing with the change in climate.
I spent lots of hours combining pictures from my cellphone, camera and Claude's cellphone into one great set of pictures. These were all divided by the days and the directory was set up for the trip with a sub-directory for each day of the trip. I am happy to report all pictures are in their correct location and labeled. I have also posted a lot of my pictures to Facebook so that family and friends who are interested may enjoy them. I also spent time creating a Blog entry for each day of our trip. Now, I await Claude's notes and then I can make our PowerPoint for the trip in lieu of our scrapbook of the trip.
We were able to perform some service on Thursday. We drove to Louisville to pick up an order of food for the month for an elderly lady in our congregation. We then drove that food to her apartment in Lexington and delivered it into her home. It seems she had been roughed up by a neighbor and was looking for another place to live. My heart aches for her. My prayer is that Claude and I do not get in that position as we age. Grateful for our tiny home and the peace and comfort it brings. Grateful we can still afford groceries for our nourishment. We are richly blessed and it felt good to help someone not in that circumstance.
Friday night we were to see the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band perform at the Lexington Opera House. Received an eMail in the late afternoon saying the concert was canceled. One of the band members was sick. They will reschedule and our tickets will be valid for that rescheduled date. Hope it is a day we can attend.
Claude was called Saturday evening to be the Stake Communications Director. He was serving as a Specialist on the committee already. Now he will direct that committee.
We attended Stake Conference this weekend. The meetings were all very good and we enjoyed attending and filling our cups a bit more.
Our son, Jake, has secured an apartment for himself in Chelsea. We are so happy this seems to be working for him. He loved living in Chelsea and we hope his return is just what he needs. We'll be making a few trips to take some of his belongings to him.
I have also purchased three books to read before we go to New Zealand. Now that I have finished the pictures from Manaus, Brazil. I feel like I can start to immerse myself in New Zealand to be ready to visit that country.
This evening we will attend Tithing Settlement. I will have a temple recommend interview. And, we will facilitate a Self-Reliance course.
It has been a good week, a full week, and we feel good about what we have accomplished. Now...on to fill another week with good things.
