Made It!

And it was an excellent class!

I realized the time at 6:29.

Ran outside, dropped feed for the horses

and the cows.

Brought the dogs inside and put

them in their crates in the garage.

Put Beau in his crate in the house.

Jumped in the shower.

Dressed.

Jumped in the car.

Didn't even speed!

Arrived at the church at 7:03!

It was really good.

Taught by the CES Director for our Stake.

He's a really talented teacher.

Lots of student participation.

The topic was studying the scriptures.

I enjoyed it, felt like I learned something

and had a great example of good teaching

style that I might be able to incorporate

in my classes as well.

As soon as it was over (8:15) they served

doughnuts and apple cidar

(a nod to fall - even though it's still mid-summer here)

(I first typed mid-simmer, which is also accurate)

so I left. I don't need a doughnut or apple cider,

and my animals needed my attention.

Back to the farm to let the horses out

put the chickens in

let the dogs out and feed them

and make me a sandwich and soup for dinner

and again for lunch today.

I got an email from the Town earlier in the day

yesterday letting me know their secretary

was admitted to the hospital and could

I help out for a couple of days.

So I'm up earlier than usual,

feeding the animals and me,

and then I'll head over to the town.

Good thing I mowed the yards yesterday!

Watching Michael coverage on TV.

The guys are already planning work trips

up to the Panhandle. Rod has High Council

meeting tonight and they will get more

information on the Stake's plans.

But for sure they will be heading up there

for several weekends.

Kyle's house got successfully tied down,

and his property only got some light wind

and minor rain showers,

but he is only about 30 minutes to an hour

away from MAJOR damage.

I imagine he'll be doing lots of helping

over the next weeks and months.
