Today was such a great day. My morning started off with a young gal from another country stopping by to sell me some educational books. I didn't want the books because even though we mean well I just know we wouldn't use them. Google is great and doesn't cost anything and doesn't take up space on a shelf or counter. I always feel kind of bad saying no but it has gotten easier. I sent the cute gal off with a giant Symphony Chocolate Bar. At least doing that made me feel a little better.
Then I went visiting teaching which I just love. I love visiting with the sisters in our ward and really love the sisters I go to (always do) When I was through visiting Rae and Cathy I decided to stop and visit a few friends that have had surgery and take them a little treat. (I also took Rae and Cathy a little treat) I visited with Shirley (Stokes) first and really enjoyed sitting in her back yard enjoying the breeze and just visiting. I know it's not fun for Shirley to be laid up but it's kind of nice for me to know that she is and that I can stop by anytime and I won't be interfering with things. I love Shirley and our visits.
Next I went to Judy"s (Nauta) and visited with her. The nice thing about real friends is you can say whatever you want and feel and know that it is okay. I can express my feelings and I know that these friends don't mind and can also do the same with me. I felt so good about my day and had some thoughts that came to my mind that I know where from Heavenly Father. I love how that happens as you open up and discuss things. Man I was feeling great....so happy!
The weather wasn't great today but we had planned on going boating and taking the Anderson Family and so we went anyway in spite of the weather and had a great time. It was so wonderful having them all together. The wind blew and the boat rocked and Larry didn't even have to try to make the water weenie roll over because the wind and waves took care of that very easily. The wind and waves also kind of made me dizzy and a little light headed. We stayed for almost 2 hours and then decided to get off the water since it was starting to rain and the sky continued to get dark. I love the Anderson's and I'm really glad we got a little time together with them all. This little family has become an extension of our family...we love and care about them so much!
Then to top off a wonderful day we received a nice card from Tonya and Lexi! Dang! Life is Good!
