Light snow was forecast for today--so I was a little unprepared for the 6-8 inches that accummulated on my car during the day! It was nice snowman weather, but I did not have anybody to build a snowman with. I will just have to wait until next year!
I had forgotten that this was the one Saturday this month that I needed to present the in-service lesson--which was not a problem, since I got to the Library before anyone started to prepare for prayer meeting. One of the assistant zone leaders was there to conduct the meeting, so I did not have to do triple duty, as I was playing the keyboard as well. We were fairly late getting started, so I exercised the keyboard player's perogative, and changed the hymn from one with 5 long verses to one with 4 short verses. Doing the in-service was fun, as there was lots of class input.
My time as a Greeter was cut a bit short, as I was asked to help a guest. It turned out that I got to help several people during the morning, including a woman from Germany who found a record of her great-grandfather. That was sweet, and necessitated the supervisor finding someone to take my spot as Floor Manager. Most of the rest of the helping was in translating German.
This afternoon was my research time. I did verify some Ortssippenbuch records by checking the microfilm. It seems that several of my Eppingen families originated in Switzerland. I found it interesting that one of the Kupper records was on a page that was mostly illegible--but that particular record was quite clear.
I struggled with staying awake while I was researching, even though I slept pretty well last night. I was able to avoid sugar, but I succombed to quite a few mini-pretzels. Hopefully cleaning the snow off the car, and kicking the snow away from the front of it burned off some of those calories!
Once I got back to the apartment I did some straightening up of the apartment, as I will have company again tomorrow. I still need to do the dishes, and I look forward to talking with my Sweetheart.
