Wow, August is here already! Sometimes days drag--actually, afternoons are my worst times, after lunch--but the weeks and months are passing fairly quickly.
This morning I realized it had been more than 2 weeks since I Skyped with my Arizona grandchildren, and I was glad to get to do that today. We had a rather brief visit, but it is always good to be able to see them. Also talked briefly with my daughter.
My other daughter and I also had a phone visit this morning. After that I took a nap, because last night was very short for sleeping. Then I had a thought to go out to some stores and also get gas--some of the stations had already bumped up their prices, so I was glad to get that taken care of. I usually just get gas about once a month, which is quite a change from back in Missouri. My Sweetheart had filled the tank a couple of times, as we did a bit of driving while he was here. So now I should be set until September!
Our branch had an indoor picnic this evening--Polish dogs, with a special sauce and lots of toppings. And root beer floats, one of my favorites, for dessert! I was able to especially thank my MTC sisters who fed 2 of the young elders on short notice. One of the things I bought today while I was out was a rotisserie chicken, which I cut up into serving pieces and put into the freezer. From now on I will be better prepared to pitch in and help if someone else backs out of feeding the elders at the last minute!
I cooked wheat today. and as I was putting it away there was a little left in the pot. It tastes so good I fried up some onions, carrots and celery to put with the leftover wheat and had a mid-afternoon snack. Yum!
