Still not ready~!!!

The repairman figured out what was wrong with the AC and has ordered the part!  that is the good news...the sort of bad news is it won't be here for a week.  We are okay as we have fans but it will be bustling here with people in and out.  I will resurface here on the 16th of July.  Maybe sooner but not later!

I did get all the blankets etc. laundered and hung on line so at least that is ready!!!  smells good!

Never have I been so completely unprepared.  Usually at this hour I'm checking details and plans and ready on all levels.  No menu planned.  No special foods in waiting.  Nothing prepared!!!  I do have tickets to a play and that is it for fun and games. Have I totally skipped a cog or the likes???  So unlike me.  Terry said I've been taking care of him and that is where my time has gone.  He's nice but that isn't really true.  Everything just sort of went helter-skelter and now I'm wondering how this will all turn out!!

This I know...somehow or other things always turn out okay.  So here I am being daring and going on an adventure that has no map!!

Jeanee will be sporting her injured finger (she cut it.  4 stitches through her nail to hold it in place!!  shivers for sure!  It's her shutter finger and she is a photographer.  that will be interesting! )  She will look forward to coolness and that isn't going to happen for a few days!

Sarah-- please, thank your husband for referring to this Conference talk.  I enjoyed every word that Elder Maxwell spoke....

"Church members will live in this wheat-and-tares situation until the Millennium. Some real tares even masquerade as wheat, including the few eager individuals who lecture the rest of us about Church doctrines in which they no longer believe. They criticize the use of Church resources to which they no longer contribute. They condescendingly seek to counsel the Brethren whom they no longer sustain. Confrontive, except of themselves, of course, they leave the Church, but they cannot leave the Church alone (Ensign, Nov. 1980, 14). Like the throng on the ramparts of the “great and spacious building,” they are intensely and busily preoccupied, pointing fingers of scorn at the steadfast iron-rodders (1 Ne. 8:26–28, 33). Considering their ceaseless preoccupation, one wonders, Is there no diversionary activity available to them, especially in such a large building—like a bowling alley? Perhaps in their mockings and beneath the stir are repressed doubts of their doubts. In any case, given the perils of popularity, Brigham Young advised that this “people must be kept where the finger of scorn can be pointed at them” (Discourses of Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe [1941], 434).  "
