Looking forward to June!!!
No boating
Even with the Subaru here we can not use the canoe because almost all the lakes are closed to any boating - and the four that are open have mega restrictions and inspections. During the past week we've hiked around the areas of Lexington and Coyote and both have NO vessel signs. Sad
News
A little news.
Dad and I will most likely, or maybe quite probably, spend the summer serving in the Temple in Nauvoo.
Dad and I will most likely, or maybe quite probably, spend the summer serving in the Temple in Nauvoo.
It's a long story.
They ask for names of ordnance workers from the Oakland Temple who were available to work in Nauvoo for the summer.
So we turned in our names.
They do this every year but the temples that are ask to participate change. The temple matron told me that dozens of people "applied", of those, two couple were ask to turn in their mission papers, we were one of the couples.
If we "pass" then we would be in Nauvoo from the end of April until sometime in October. We hope Dad's heart is not a problem - or anything else - even my blood pressure - although it's usually just fine. All we can do is turn in the papers - the same papers that all missionaries turn in -- a lot for just 6 months. I wish it were simpler.
When we arrived home from this last trip there were messages on our machine from Temple Workers congratulating us -- although that was premature -- they had announced it in the Temple as if we were going for sure. The messages were the first we had heard anything.
Our stake president did get a letter with instructions for us to turn in mission papers by mid December - the Bishop gave us that letter Wednesday. We only have the information from the letter to the Temple President and to our Stake President. No personal contact.
I'm not sure we are comfortable enough to be excited to go. But if we do end up going, which, as I said before, is quite probable - then it should be a fun experience. It does feel like the right thing to do right now.
What do you think?
Guess that's all

This house is across the street and down a couple from Dad's childhood home. A widow and her daughter (10 or so years older than dad) live there. Dad's mom would have him shovel the snow from their walks like a good boy but with no pay. Does leave you wondering?
Wonderful and Exciting
If you're actually visiting here --- yeah and hello
