My day started off very nicely with a phone call from my Sweetheart. We sure enjoyed having the opportunity to talk day and night!
There was a little snow today, but not enough to interfere with a needed trip to the laundromat across the courtyard. Although several people were there, I was able to find an open machine.
It took more than an hour to set up things for the Young Elder Dinners next Sunday. That is mostly because it has been a long time since I worked with a spreadsheet. I think I have it figured out now, but I discovered this evening that I had missed sending one of the necessary emails, so I am glad I realized that was the case and could get it sent. I already received responses from 3 of the 7 hosts, so we have confirmation of feeding 10 of the Young Elders already--and I am pretty sure the others will follow through also, and 22 of the Young Elders will be taken care of. Our goal is to feed all 36 at least once a month. I think we will meet or exceed that goal easily.
I did a little cleaning up after the dinner last night, and then I set to work on family history. I have a rather bad habit of making cryptic notes on the quarter sheets of paper provided at the Library of records that need some kind of attention. Today I was able to clear up nearly all of the records for which I had notes. I did some merging, some attaching of sources and Memories, and even found some records I need to take to escalation. I am glad I had this time to work on the records.
I had a fun time Skyping with my middle daughter and three of her four children. My eight-year-old granddaughter had made some pancakes "all by myself!" which she showed me--and then I got to enjoy watching them eat some!
My littlest granddaughter wanted to show me a building toy she was playing with, so my daughter put the computer down on the floor so I could see the kids building while she and I had a very nice conversation.
This evening I enjoyed another Skype conversation, this time with my Sweetheart. It sure is a treat to get to see him--and we are down to 99 days until we can be together! He had taken his car in to get the oil changed, and told me about something he had seen on the TV while he was there--a program on tiny houses! The amazing thing is that I had for many years wanted to build a tiny house, which he had no idea I was interested in. A couple of years ago I gave up on that dream, but he has great carpentry skills, so maybe we will build that dream together! We really are pretty much like two peas in a pod in our interests and our experiences. How blessed I am that the Lord brought us together.
