Clean Garage and Jilli Visits - Week 54

I was asked to help with Singing Time for Primary. The Primary Program is in 3 weeks. There was a change and instead of leading the music in the Primary room we practiced in the chapel. The children did remarkable for a 2 hour practice. On Wednesday night, I go to go and be the Webelos substitute. This was just the weeks where I got to substitute a lot.

Sweetheart held a community meeting at our home to talk with neighbors about the how to present and pass the word to our community. He and I have talked extensively about this issue. It has kept Lance up at night because he is concerned. His concern is that the developer changes their information each time he looks for information.

Back to School Night was good. We got to meet the teachers for our boys. One of their specials teachers is speaks Spanish. Sweetheart spoke with her. She learned her Spanish and lived in Spain. He came away saying he felt rusty with his language.

 Instead of Scouts this week, the youth had a Temple Trip. Sweetheart went to the temple to help. He enjoyed being in the temple.

The next morning Sweetheart had his silver fillings replaced. Our dentist recommending removing the silver fillings because the fillings expand and contract. This will damage the teeth further unless changed to a newer filling. He called after his appointment and talked funny complaining that his mouth was numb. It was funny for both of us.

Underfoot needed to complete a requirement for Webelos as a service to the community. He went to  trash pick up. Two Webelos showed up and picked up in what Underfoot called the Glass Graveyard. He had so much fun doing it.

The Eckert family helped us so much one year ago we decided to have a celebratory dinner. The house looks so different than a year ago. We were very grateful for their help. We've a few things left to do in the house like put a floor in the Master bedroom and closet, paint the doors upstairs, get a new dishwasher, and then there are big projects to do in a few years.


Jilli returned to visit Missouri again. She did a few home improvement projects there. She had a long layover in Denver. She came and helped us on a project as well - organizing the garage. This was a huge blessing! She coached, directed, and helped work through the the different areas. The work table shrank by 3 1/2 inches. This made such a difference and allowed for us use the table.


Sweetheart wrote the weekly email about his experience with our neighbor. We are happy to report that Mr. Wayne has moved from the ICU to a rehabilitation center. He will be there for a few weeks and then return home. The miracle is that only about 5-10% survive.

Be Well.
