Happy Apple

Talk about lame pictures. This is one. Tonight my legs were killing me so I decided to take an early bath and so I soaked for 2 hours from about 6 to 8PM. How nice that was. I reccomend it for your sanity. I say a sign today that said "When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on". I bathed with my happy apple tonight that the kids like. This is one of two toys that we saved from the flood. The other was a doll that was in the tub. We had just moved Shanell and her crib downstairs the week before the flood and all of the toys also so the rest were history. My cure for stress, take a bath and read a good exciting book.

Windy, windy day

My windchime was going crazy today. It made a beautiful sound though. Becky thinks it is to noisy but I love the sound of it. Thanks Kendra and Jared. This morning when we went to the Temple to do sealings, it was very windy and cold. No new snow though. Notice the snow is melted in the yard today. Looks a little different from the picture with Janet Barrus.

Dad just keeps trying to keep up to the leaves. Look at the one apple tree on the right and you can see a lot of the leaves are down but not so on the other apple tree. Now I need to go out and help him bag them up. He is a hard worker.

Sisterhood through visiting teaching

I feltI felt bad when Becky and I were split up and couldn't go together out visiting teaching. I did luck out with a great companion in Sister Barrus. It is good to get to know her better and also the women we visit. Notice the new snow we got just an hour before we went visiting. I just heard on the news that the Teton Pass is closed. Guess winter is here for sure.

Here is Jodie Crowfoot who we visit. Here she is with her 4 year old twins. She hasn't been lucky enough to have anymore yet. They remind me of Koria and Kimball.

Here is Sister barrus with Biya Wood who we also visit. She has great decorations for each holiday and her home inside is filled with fun things always. We went to another woman for the summer but she has moved South for the winter.

Wash day for the cabin

This is part of the washing I did today. I washed the shower curtains and the sheets from the cabin so they will be ready for next spring.

Sunday Relief Society Lesson on Baptism

Today was my Relief Society Lesson on Baptism. It went very well inspite if a very stressful day. It was our fast meeting today as we had Stake Conference last sunday. I sat out in the foyer for sacrament meeting as I have trouble sitting in the chapel on those benches and I knew I had to work in the library and teach a lesson. Then Dad and I had trouble with the copy machine in the library and when I looked at the time, I should have been across the building to have prayer before my lesson so I had to rush, rush, rush to get there. Then after the lesson I was supposed to leave early and go to library and was late for that as I had to get my teaching supplies from the front of the room after prayer. Then I rushed to library and the other lady said she could handle it and I left as I needed to get a temple reccommend interview. Becky and I had an interview as Dad renewed his in July after I washed his for the second time. The man in the Bishopbric told me we needed to go to see the Stake President to get it signed tonight at 4-5. Then Matt and Jen Black (Jared's brother and his wife) had us over to eat at 1:45PM. We left at quarter to 4 and came home and went to church house and read sign that they met at 5-6 and did not meet on fast Sunday. Then Becky reminded me that I needed mine for Wednesday when Dad and I do sealings. The man in the Bishopbric that interviewed me took my old reccomend although he didn't take Beckys. We went to his house and he said he had shredded it. What to do now. He told us to call one of Stake Presidency and try to get them to sign it for me. I called them all and no one home. The Stake President's wife said they were in a meeting together somewhere. We went back to the Stake house and I waited out in waitingroom hoping that they were in a meeting there. Thank goodness they were and one of them interviewed me and thank goodness I now have one for Wednesday. Today has been very stressful.

This is my old one which has now been shredded. Thanks again for the cover Wendy. I also talked to Rilla, Bonnie and Mary Lou today. What a day. Now I am caught up and can relax and it is only 8:30PM.

November 13 - Desperation day!

Today Dad, Becky, Derek, Rod, Elise, Cade and Landon went up to the cabin to shut it down for the winter. They turned out the water and brought home all of the things from the fridge, cubbards and sheets to wash. I stayed here and did the mundane things like washing and cleaning and misc. things. Wendy and Tyler came to see me and it was good to see them. I was tired that night and realized I was a day behind on my blog and no picture for the day, hence this desperation picture. Two signs that winter is here. The very last roses on my bush in front and the winter place mat. Boring I know.

Friday Nov. 12 - Temple day

Today all three of us worked in the Temple. Here is my Temple bag and my reccommend in its nice case that Wendy gave to us. We are so blessed to be able to serve in the Temple. It is a wonderful peaceful place.
