no snow but rain...and new calling

First off, it's my brother's birthday today. Happy Birthday Scott!

So, we haven't had any new snow, but it has rained several times (kind of "Camelot" style...at night while we were sleeping).

And Glen was called to be the 2nd counselor in the Elders Quorum Presidency! He will be great...and it's great having a calling that will have me working with Glen sometimes.

Glen did some art projects while subbing in a special needs classroom at the middle school recently. Like a good wife, I've hung up (or allowed him to hang up) his art work for all to see. Pretty, pretty!

He's also been sewing Star Wars masks to get ready for the 9 movie run of Star Wars at the old movie theatre in March (every Thursday and Saturday they show a new episode--this Thursday the 11th is episode III).

Our bed is now covered by a quilt made by Aunt Margaret. It's gorgeous and I feel so blessed to have it. She was such an excellent quilter! Now I just need pillows that match the quilt...

Our second COVID vaccine shot was delayed by the bad weather for a week, but Glen and I were able to get our second shot and Eric got his first (as a worker in agriculture he was on the list). 

And Glen and I are in rainy Brookings visiting my mom. It's wonderful to be here. We've been playing games and Glen's tackled several projects for my mom-- including ripping paneling off her bedroom wall (that she's been wanting to happen for many years).

Can't believe it's March and almost spring. Looking forward to March Madness! 

snow and new calling

Week before last was a snowy week for here. It sure was pretty while it lasted. Since I have no other photos to post this week, I thought I'd post pictures of our front yard with varying amounts of snow

1-26-2021

1-27-2021  almost got rid of the snow

1-30-2021  and the snow was gone by the next day

Last Sunday, I was called to be the Relief Society President for my church ward. My sister-in-law, Jackie, texted me and congratulated me on my new calling. I teased her by saying that I was looking for counselors. She told me to keep looking. I said that being my counselor she would have a more flexible schedule than if she were called to be the Primary President...today she was called to be our new Primary President. I almost actually laughed out loud in church because of our previous messages (btw, she had not been called yet and didn't know she was going to be asked to be the Primary President at the time of our messages). We know from past experience and the fact that her grandchildren call her "Grandma Party" that she will do a great job as our Primary President!

Because of COVID, we have not been able to meet all together at church, but were split into 2 groups for attendance. But the guidelines have changed and, starting with today, we got to and will get to all meet every Sunday instead of being split up. And, since Glen is no longer in the Bishopric, Eric, Glen, and I were able to sit together! Love it.
