Short Letter, Uneventful Week

I ate lunch with a couple of sisters from the ward on Wednesday.  After eating and socializing, we said our goodbyes and I went out to my car.  Before I got to the car, I realized I was missing my sun-glasses.  I went through both coat pockets, my pants pockets, etc.  I knew I had them with me in the restaurant, because I used them to read the menu (I didn't bring clear glasses).  I went back to the table, looked all around and underneath.  I went back to the lobby and I would have asked someone, but no one was at the desk, so I went and checked in my car--just in case I hadn't brought them in, even though I knew I had.  They weren't in the car, so  I went and checked the table and underneath it, again.  This time I found someone at the desk so she walked to the table with me to look, and then grabbed our waiter to see if he'd picked any sunglasses up.  No luck.  We went back together to the front desk.  Just as I was giving her my phone number, she looked at me and said, "Are your glasses on your shirt?"  I looked down and sure enough, I'd hooked them to the front of my shirt to get them out of the way.  At least they weren't on top of my head.  And at least I only wasted about 10 minutes or so looking for them.  

I have to tell stories about my ridiculousness because this was a slow week.  We didn't see or tend grandchildren, we didn't go on vacation, and we didn't even go out to a movie.  I don't even have a spiritual thought because I've been studying Leviticus and Numbers this week. But don't get me wrong, slow weeks are great sometimes.  

Well, I did host DUP on Monday because the person who was supposed to host got COVID.  I'm the president so things like that fall in my court.  I'm not sure how I became president, it just sort of happened.  Usually being in the background and fulfilling assignments is more my forte, but lately I'm not getting that opportunity since I'm also the Stake YW President (and that calling is super busy right now).  

This is the quilt I finished after working on it for the entire year.  I have one more that's done, but it's only bound half-way around.  I'll post a picture of that next week.




At least this letter is short.  Next week will be more interesting.  We'll be driving down to St. George with all four of Adrienne's kids without Adrienne.  She has a conference in Florida with AJ and she will hop on a flight Thursday night to join us for Ollie's soccer tournament.  We are fortunate that Philip and Charlotte are allowing us use of their home.  

I only received one picture this week.  I didn't take any (except
of the quilt).  This is Harvey.  I suggested to Elise that he
should probably leave that helmet on most of the time.

Baptism of Maverick Roy Rasband (February 24, 2024)

Utah happenings Before we left for Georgia we had a big snowstorm.  The Vances were hit hard in Logan.  Todd was extremely happy with the car that Matt built in the snow for him.  Now that we're back from Georgia we're getting hit again with snowstorms.  They're beautiful and we need the water, but I think we're about ready for spring. It was Tom's birthday on the 21st.  Adrienne made the effort to take her family to the grave on his birthday to send balloons off to Tom.  Roy and I went on Friday night (March 1),  right before a big wind and snowstorm so it was pretty cold.  We didn't stay long.  Gunnar wants to go back when it's warmer and do a clean-up job on the grave stone. He's sweet to think of serving that way.

Scriptural Thought

As soon as possible after getting home from Georgia, I again went to Logan to help Crista with the baby.  Little Zack is so precious; I love the time I have been able to hold him and feed him.   The next day I had my hair cut by Jennie, and then Thursday, Jennie and I drove to Logan again.  I walked in the door and got my stuff situated.  Bridget was sitting at the counter doing her computer pre-school.  She looked at me and asked, "Grandma, is that a wig?"   Foster was very interested in the baby.   While studying Come Follow Me this past couple of weeks, I came across one of my favorite scriptures.  I've quoted it before in this blog.  It's 2 Peter 1:15-21 15  Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to  have these things always in remembrance. 16  For we have not followed cunningly devised  a fables , when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were  b eyewitnesses  of his majesty. 17  For he received from Go

Ruby's baptism, Foster's baby blessing, and the Jackson's are in town

 I noticed a text Saturday morning on my phone.  Marcia Marshall (my cousin Richard Winterton's daughter) said, "I'm the only one on the call...I thought this was supposed to be the important meeting with voting and everything."  I realized I blew it.  I've been the secretary of the Cook Family Organization for many years and I think this is the first meeting I totally forgot about.  The reason Marcia was the only one on the call was because I even forgot to send out reminder emails.  Still, everyone knows there's a meeting the 2nd Saturday of every month, so they shouldn't be so dependent on me, right?  I felt badly, but I felt I had some good excuses.  Elise, Andy and their four children have been visiting since Tuesday.  Yesterday (the day of the above blunder), Ruby was baptized in Logan, and today Jennie and Jordan are blessing Foster.   Ruby, Crista and Matt.  Ruby was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on June 10, 2
