Tuesday

Since my return to the lake I have kept busy.  I went grocery shopping Saturday afternoon at Costco. That was a lot of work for me.  Loading and unloading.  I enjoyed my time at our Draper home and having so time to myself to read and study my scripture.  I then drove up to the lake.  I was beat when I arrived.  Sunday was another busy day getting ready for church, attending our meetings, cooked us a nice dinner.  I only had one hour until I had to leave for my stake self reliance class at 4pm.  I didn’t get home until 6:30 pm.  It was a full day.  Monday we got up early and played pickleball.  I then went and help Jackie,  I vacuumed and her tidy up her place and went to the store for her.  That afternoon I tinkered at our place doing some chores.  I’m excited for all the family arriving at the lake this coming weekend for the 4th of July weekend.  I have lots of cleaning I want to get done before they all arrive..  I fixed some yummy meatloaf  and took dinner to Jackie and the single man Jim that lives next to Jackie. He is so good to look after her.  He was so surprised that I brought him a meal.  I told him Thank you for looking after her.  I also took dinner to another single man in our ward brother Von.  I took him a copy of the ensign conference talks which is now called the Liahona.   He was very grateful.  It felt good to show love to those single neighbors that live in Bear Hollow.  It is the low housing complex in our Garden City community.  There is a great need to serve those living there.  There are many non-members and those that do live there seem to struggle in coming to church.  They need lots of encouragement.  I’m trying to be kind and loving.  Today I was able to stay busy at our place.  I bought paint for our brown trim and started the touch up process outside and started working on sanding and staining our front door.  It was looking bad this year.  I will finish tomorrow.  I need to clean good on the inside and and wash windows again.  It is a monthly chore.  I’ve got to bucked down and study my lesson material- I’m teaching this Sunday.  I won’t have anytime after Friday when all the family arrives.  Lots to do tomorrow!
