We just had the most wonderful time with the Evans from Arizona. They were sure inspired by how nice the tipi was with the campfire. Today is their play day, so they had to hurry home, but not till they'd overstayed their hour limit ( Read more... )

I stopped by Independent and then Giant Tiger for things for dinner. I worked away in the kitchen making lentil stew. By the time the elders came, it was ready, except the lentils seemed to need just a bit more time ( Read more... )

They are about four feet across and eight feet high. Okay, maybe not, but it seems like that. Perhaps 4X7. Those windows leak tons of air, so we were going to cover them and ( Read more... )

I went into town for the new windows but they didn't have the right sizes. I did get one for the window beside the electrical panel, but I wasn't entirely sure it would fit properly. It might be slightly too wide ( Read more... )

The sister missionaries have been visiting at Ben and Tas'. Amanda came on a split with them. She is a weaver, too. She saw the loom when she arrived and was immediately interested! There is a weavers guild that meets the first week of every month. I will have to find out more about it ( Read more... )

Sister Strasburg gave a wonderful lesson in relief society about senior missionaries. She did a fabulous job. She looked up all the opportunities on the website and read them to us. Now I want to go serve in the Bogota Columbia temple! Wonderful opportunity! LOL ( Read more... )
