It was quite a jolly holiday with my daughter and her friend. We all went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch, because the Asian restaurant we had planned to go to did not open until 4.
My daughter and I headed back to my apartment, and as we drove through the shopping center I saw a Savers and asked if we could stop. She was agreeable, and I told her they still had cherries on sale. Great was my surprise that it was not a grocery store, but a thrift store! Also a wonderful surprise was that there were 2 chairs, for $2.99 each, about $3 less than the cheapest chairs I had found when I looked online this morning! They are quite nice, and an even greater tithing blessing was that the store had everything on sale 30% off! Now I have plenty of seating for feeding the young elders!
When we returned to my apartment my daughter began updating the anti-virus protection on both my computers, and fixing some other issues with electronic devices. The computer I use the most took many hours to get finished. In fact eventually we left it still running and went to a favorite Utah place for hamburgers. This was probably not what most people would consider to be a nice holiday, but I enjoyed being with my daughter, I appreciated her expertise in taking care of the electronics [most of which she furnished me with in the first place], and we enjoyed good conversation and good food together.
I also had a nice phone visit with my oldest daughter. She has recently returned from a lovely visit with my great-grandchildren.
I also got to talk with my Sweetheart in the morning for quite a while, and again in the evening, just before he began work. He sent me a video of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing "God Bless America"--such a powerful, beautiful song, and so appropriate for this holiday.
I hope you all have had a lovely day.
