SOO Tired

 The guys got up "early"

(well, early for Kyle...)

and headed off to do an all day job in 

the next town south of us.

Kyle ran the mulcher and then swapped it

out for the tractor and did some bush hogging as well.

Jim made a guest appearance and ran the zero-turn 

lawn mower, and Rod ran the weed-whacker.

ALL DAY.

When they got home, they were give out!

Rod fell asleep with his phone in his hand.

That was about 8 when I came out of the zoom room

for a 10 minute break.

When I was done teaching, I made a box of mac & cheese

and it took him about 30 minutes to wake up enough 

to actually eat it.

Poor man!

Meanwhile....

we had our first baptism!

A sweet older lady the missionaries tracted out.

I had planned to go to welcome her into RS.

But just before I left I got a text asking if 

I could play the piano since theirs backed out

at the last minute.

So... sure.

I have played 2 hymns since we became

a new ward and I don't play the organ anymore.

(And I only played on Fast Sunday...)

I played some of the hymns for prelude while

people were arriving and visiting.

Then we did an opening hymn.

Then after the baptism, while Barbara was getting

dressed, instead of just playing, I asked for 

people's favorite hymns and we sang those.

Thank you Mom and Dad for piano lessons!

(And the angels for filling in the awful spots...)

It was really fun to be able to just play any hymn!

(I figured I was safe, most favorites are favorites

across the board so likely something I had played before...

people who really love Hie to Kolob are few and far between.

I'm not one of them...)

It was a lovely baptism.

And then I came home and cooked a bunch of food

for Rod's lunches for the next few weeks.

This week I'm doing the morning classes.

And we are (fingers crossed) getting our roof this week.

I'm not in a hurry, but I imagine our insurance

company won't wait forever...

Better to get it done before REAL hurricane season hits.

Since I'm teaching mornings, I'm a little more likely

to post blogs, since I'm sitting in front of my computer

and it's not the middle of the night.

So... I'll try!

We did the world-wide Love, Share, Invite 5th Sunday

meeting today in 2nd hour. I did the final section

and wrap-up. I think it went well.

And now we are RELAXING.

Taking some well earned naps.
