One idea is “infinite Banking”—a fascinating concept, but
not an easy one to understand. If we
decide to go with this, you’ll hear more about it from us. In the meantime, we have phone meetings, webinars,
and emails to bring us up to speed on it.
We have current rentals to keep up on. We checked out the fire damaged house and the
repairs look great! When he repainted,
he painted the porch posts the same color as the railings and it added unity to
the architecture. A tenant is moving out
of the duplex that we said, “The next time the tenant moves we need to do
something with the bathroom and flooring.”
So we went shopping for flooring and tile ideas. I think we will do a laminate floor. The one we chose was darker than what I’d
imagined. But it was also cheaper and
with a better wear warranty.
In a disappointing note.
After spending months working under the tutelage of a Financial
marketer, he presented my headline and lead to the bosses… and they turned it
down. They are not hiring now, and I
still needed to learn more. He said he’d
connect again in June or July and maybe we could pick up and move on.
This was the week of the recipes. I’d wanted to get my share of the recipes to
the head honcho because she had spring break this week and could work on
them. I worked on them on Sunday and
Monday and Wednesday. Finally, on
Thursday, I said, “I’ve GOT to get these done.
I stayed up until 1:30 getting all the recipes organized by alphabet and
category. Then I went back and copy
edited that the type size was a 12pt bold, capitalized and underlined for the
title, and 11pt for the recipe itself, with c. for cups, not C. or Cups… T. for
tablespoons, not TB or Tbs. or anything else… and so on.
When I went to send them at 1:30am, I checked the “breads
and quick breads” file, and found only two recipes!!! What happened to the
other 20?? Sigh. So I sent the others, and went to bed praying
for a miracle. Friday I had so much else
that had to be done!
After walking Friday morning and reading scriptures, I
opened the file. Still no other
recipes. So I went back to all the other
files and pulled out the bread recipes again.
It actually went faster as I’d gotten the system down. It took less than two hours.
The blessing and miracles came later. I had a 10:30 call with an editor and that
went really well and gave me direction.
So I was able to write up an article and revise another much faster than
I’d believed I could. And I revised another article, and went visiting
teaching, and polished my seminary and institute training lesson for Saturday.
Like the loaves and fishes, the time expanded for me to get everything I needed
to done.
Tom has been doing wonderful things with the chicken coop.
It looks so cute. Thursday I helped by painting it. He also found time to help our neighbor put
up some lap siding over the front of her porch in the roof peak.
Saturday Tom left at o’dark thirty to go to the temple with
the youth for baptisms. I left at 8am to
go to Branson for my Seminary and Institute training. It was a good training, even though
attendance was light. I got home about
2pm and was able to do a little more writing so I could get paid for this week. Tom got home about 10:30pm… a tired puppy.
But they had a good trip.
When I turned into the left turn lane for Old Tracy Road to
come home on Saturday, there were THREE cars in front of me. Three! I rarely even have a single car in front of
me. Rush hour in Mountain Home.
Today I taught the class on how to ask questions. It was a great class. Good questions just seem to automatically
invite great comments and discussions.
Tom has Bishop’s Youth Discussion now here at home, then he goes home
teaching. No rest for the Bishop!
Next week, I get to rest. I go see Mom. YEAH!
