MAY 6-12 & 4 MONTHS TO GO

MONDAY -This was a good day as I was at the Masonic/Cultural Hall . A couple came in from  Montreal,Quebec and not able to speak  English but it was fun to visit with them and take them on a tour. I connected them with an Elder that could speak French  so they went to the Visitors' Center. So many people come to Nauvoo and really don't know why they are here and also nothing about the Church.
 It has been a beautiful sunny day today and when I wasn't busy I was learning some lines for a narration for an introduction for the song Grandmother's Apron. It was such a beautiful day that we even practiced outside tonight and was reminded that we have only 5 more rehearsals before the real show....
TUES. - It got up to 80 degrees today.I really felt that it has been such a long winter. Mail Room Day and then to the Family Living Center and worked on the shawl. Got home to help prepare supper for the Young Single Missionaries who were coming. We had Taco Salad - imagine that. Made a cake and they got to take that home with them. Today the  May Ensign Magazine came in so I am glad that I can study Conference.
WED. - was another hot day. After out 8 AM training I was in the Garden. Glad to have had a hat today. We were working at Brigham Young Home, I pulled weeds all the time We finished at 1PM When I got home I started to work on my flower beds in front of our house.When S/Higham got home we went to Keokuk to shop at Walmart.The Mississippi is really high still and I even saw a Heron fishing and the turtle were out on the logs sunning them selves/ After supper I went to the show Rendezvous and as there were two bus tours in town, we had two shows. So I am tired tonight.
THUR. - Can you believe that I broke my fourth toe AGAIN! As I explained this to another Sister today she said "Oh, you mean your ring finger toe?" YES! I hit a box in the bedroom this AM and I have been in pain and it is a beautiful black and blue color and is swelling magnificently. I still did the Mail today and went to the FLC but I am home now to keep it up and hopefully the swelling will go down. The other news is that my Face book Acct. has been hacked so I am about to try to get that mess straighten out.
FRI. The toe is better as I tried to stay off of it and got some ice packs on it but I still did my "job" on the wagon narration.. Some folks from Norway today. After I finished I got Elder W. to help with my computer problem so I believe I am OK for awhile.I sure appreciate his kindness. Sent out a message so that I hope everyone else is not compromised.so now I wait and see.I also went to the temple and interesting enough I did some Norwegian names. Curfew...
SAT./SUN I was very busy with the mail on Sat. as we had lots of parcels and mail for Mothers Day. When I went home for lunch the foot was swollen so I stayed home to get the swelling down as I had the Rendezvous show that night. Sunday the foot was much better and I found a decent pair of shoes to go to Church in. We received some photo's and poems on the Women's Garden from the Mission. When I got home there was a message from Spencer in New Zealand and he phoned me later on , so that was wonderful to connect for a few minutes. Talked to Dan  and Ellen and they are getting ready for the last leg of this campaign for the Conservatives and the Election is Tuesday. Also had a great moment with Dallin and Sariah and kids o Skype. As I speak I am waiting to connect with Nathan and Megan our first time MOM and Kari and family too. As far as the Facebook saga it ain't over yet and ML is working on it. I have finished the day with the Senior Sisters getting together and the food was wonderful and getting to know the
new Sisters there are 19 of us now.  So it has been a great day.
