Monday, Monday!

Good morning on a chilly Monday morning!
 

It is currently 37 and "feels like" 30.

There is a nice breeze blowing.

(Although its hard to tell, cuz all the leaves

fell off the tree outside my office window...)

But the guys tell me its chilly out there.

I'm doing a double this week.

Beth (the other instructor) is "on a cruise". 

Sheesh.

(hahahahahaha)

It was a fun class this morning - 6 students,

but a couple of them were chatty,

so that was good.

Anyhow.

Yesterday was a nice day!

It was actually in the 50's.

A lovely day.

We got up and headed into Hays for church.

Rod spoke in Sacrament Meeting and did

an excellent job! We both got multiple compliments.

After that, we headed to our classes.

I headed to YW, where we had a member of the

Stake YW Presidency visiting.

We ended up with equal numbers of adults to girls.

We have a fairly small class.

I talked a "hall walker" into coming to class,

but she only lasted for about the first 10 minutes

and then she slipped out again.

We have 2 sisters (the Bishop's daughters) and they

are class Pres and Secretary.

They are moving in May. (Dad is military...)

We have 2 new girls coming in January, but

they are semi-active, so...

We had 5 girls this week. We sometimes have 6 or 7.

Anyhow. We ended a little early and had a good

visit with the Stake person while the girls chatted.

Then I went across the hall the the RS room for

a ministering group leader meeting (monthly).

We don't do "one-on-one" ministering for the

most part since we are all SO spread out.

Our group all lives in WaKeeney except for one

sister who lives on the polar opposite from us,

but she is Stake Primary Pres, her husband is

1st C in the Stake Presidency, she is BUSY,

and is a "call me once a quarter" kind of gal.

Anyhow.

We will get together and decide if we want to do

a monthly get together, or what.

We have the 2 Sister Sisters (who live together)

and then me and Lynn Furbruiz who has

a non-member husband and does a lot of traveling for work.

She is REALLY nice (we sat together in Sac Mtg)

but is very busy.

So..... we'll see. It might end up being me and

the 2 sisters who are older and don't get out much.

Anyhow.

After that I went back across the hall to the YW room

for Bishop / Youth Council since our Pres is also

in charge of the Christmas Program and was 

practicing with the choir.

(Oh the joys of a small ward...)

Then jumped in the truck and dashed home to be

10 minutes late for the YW Youth Presidency Zoom meeting.

WHEW!!!

Then I might have eaten something?

And sat in my chair with some Hallmark movies

and taken a well deserved nap.

After all, I'm OLD now.

Hahahahahaha.

Oh yeah, Sondra called me on Saturday while

I was at the activity, so I hopped into the hall

and sat in the comfy chairs and we had a good visit!

And Rozann and I had a fun text session!

Anyhow.

I baked a Reid Roast (sensing a Sunday theme here?)

and Kyle made us some candied carrots and salad 

and we had dinner and more movies.

All in all, it was a nice day!

This morning I got up to teach the morning class.

Now that I'm done with that, I'll go make some lunch

and see what the rest of the family has in store.

Kyle stayed out at the property Friday night to make

sure the concrete didn't freeze during the first stage

of curing (but HE nearly froze!) He was in his

house, so protected from the wind, but the little

space heater he brought and the heavy blankets

and mummy bag were NOT sufficient.

If ONLY we could get our electrician to come

out, we could have electricity and hook up a

"real" heater. (And then get the wiring in the walls.

insulate, and close up his house!)

Anyhow.

I'm not sure if they are going out to the farm,

or what the plan is today.

My door is closed and my little heater is on.

Hahaha.

And Beau has happily joined me.

Sabrina and I chatted lots yesterday as well.

They have their tree up already!!!

When I was in town yesterday I looked for one.

But they are in the lot, all bundled up and not

open for business yet.

So we will probably make a run into town tomorrow

to get a tree and anything else we need for the week.

But for now....

I'm heading to eat something and get ready

to teach again this evening.

Have a LOVELY Monday!
