Sometimes I just like to drive by myself. I like driving in the canyons....I love the canyons. Yesterday I went to Bear Lake to join my friends and I took my time. I took my grands to kids club and headed to Logan. I made a pit stop in Brigham. I needed some decongestant and wanted to leave some chocolate for a friend. I ended up getting Larry a couple pair of shorts for Father's day too. I was enjoying the quiet time I had to myself. On my drive I listened to the Conference CD's...I love listening to them in the car....they bring peace to me as much as the mountains...together...it was divine.
I was excited to see my friends and I was able to help finish a really cute puzzle. All that was left of the puzzle was the big writing in the center. Puzzles aren't my thing but I was able to find a few pieces that were bugging them. I felt good about my contribution. I love the puzzle and all the cute sayings around it....so us! I love my cute friends!
I had a good time. We played games and laughed a lot. I laughed at the tension that the game was causing...so funny when we don't all understand instructions the exact same way. haha I felt anxious to leave Thursday morning and had to calm myself....I wasn't in a hurry and didn't need to be home until later for a SNAP meeting. I allowed myself to go back to sleep after waking that morning and I am so glad that I did. In my dream we were at the condo. I got up to use the restroom and was surprised to see another dark hair lady in the bathroom when I went in. That lady changed into my friend Buffey. I was so excited to see her. She really didn't talk but I kept telling her how much she was missed and how good it was to see her. I kept rubbing her back and then she said.."I worry about my kids sleeping at night". The noise from a door opening woke me and that was that but I was so happy! I feel like seeing Buffey was a tender mercy.
We visited a little, cleaned the condo and loaded things up. Instead of having any of the others ride home with me I got some of their extra bags and headed home alone. I didn't leave until 12:30 and stopped by the KOA first to see where I would be staying next week. It looks nice and will be fun.
I loved coming over the mountain and seeing the Temple. I tried taking a picture but it didn't turn out I thought it would be nice to stop by Denece's work and surprise her and I ended up driving by the Temple and did get a pretty good shot. I love seeing the Temples while traveling....they are such a blessing and I love them all.
I surprised Denece and visited with her for about 45 minutes. Denece is such a sweet friend. She showed me pictures of her dogs, chickens and rabbit. Denece has always loved animals and brings them to the Senior Center for Pet Therapy. Denece is so thoughtful. I'm glad I took the time to stop and see Denece.....I love her!
I was surprised to see Kathy dropping off Carla. I really thought that even with my few stops that I would still beat them home. I was glad that I could give them their things that I had brought home and that I could go home. I always love going back home.
Preparing for Buffey's celebration of life this week has really made me think about my life. I don't really think that you can ever do enough. Your best is enough but there is always room and opportunities to do more....
