I never posted last's weeks blog, so you get two.
Monday I flew home from Sarasota. I arrived in North West Arkansas airport
about 2 pm. I went from balmy 75ish to
36 degrees! I’d only packed a
sweater. But it was enough to get me to
the car. At least it wasn’t raining.
I spent the rest of the week playing catch up. I have a website to write pages for and I
visited with a new sales rep at VisionAmp to network. I finished the draft of the basic book for
Rebecca Rice. I need to write some
charts and get it sent out for review.
My relationship coach decided I was a bit too pricy right now. He promises to come back… we’ll see.
I’m supposed to be coming up with a 60 day plan to increase
my income and jobs. I need to do that
so it can get critiqued next week.
Thursday night was a relief society meeting. It was nice and
relaxing. What was not relaxing was that
I found out I have a ward conference to attend 2 hours north on the day I was
planning on being at Kera’s. So we
rearranged and will be driving back Saturday after the race.
It also meant calling the RS president and seeing what she’d
like us to train on. I want to connect
with my counselors via Skype or conference call, but most of the others are not
on Skype. I guess I could just call them
on Skype. Or I could figure out Google
+. But I haven’t done either. So we email and talk on phone. And I volunteered to teach the lesson that
Sunday as well.
Our garden is growing.
We’ve enjoyed some asparagus and our green onions are prolific. We’ve had a pretty cool spring. It’s delightful. The redbuds are blooming. The dogwoods look like white lace in the
woods. My phlox is a carpet of scarlet and the tulips have bloomed their little
hearts out.
Friday we went to Silver Dollar City (SDC). Miranda and Dan drove up from Tulsa. I love the tender mercy that had us both
arrive at the turn off to SDC at exactly the same time! The kids enjoyed the rides. We all liked the Polynesian fire dance show. And we topped it off with ice cream at Andy’s
Frozen Custard.
They came back to Mountain Home. We celebrated the Mountain Home Ward’s 50th
anniversary with a pig roast and other tasty food. They had an open house and really had all the
rooms looking nice and informational.
Today we celebrated Easter.
We had lovely talks on the resurrection of the Savior. How blessed we are that we might live because
of his sacrifice. Probably we should have had lamb—to celebrate the Passover. But clearly we are Christians—since we had a
ham. We hard boiled some eggs to
decorate… but didn’t. I think we’ll
simply change them into egg salad. And
because we have a lot of eggs, I tried making an angel food cake to go with
strawberries and whip cream. It took 11
eggs to make 1 ½ cups of egg whites!
Is it cheese soufflé that uses a bunch of egg yolks?
Miranda and her kids will spend most of the week with us. We
look forward to visiting with Rebecca’s and Kera’s family this week, too.
