With all the great things that happen to us a few yucky things happen. We are reminded that these things are good for us and they make us stronger. So here is to stronger emotional muscles!
Let's focus on the great things in life;
*Band World - I went to my first band boosters meeting. It was pretty fun. I also participated in my first band recycle drive. I took a couple of routes. One house was up on the hill. The house has a really long driveway. I got out of the car and started looking for a stack of newspapers. Didn't find one and then an older gentleman came out of the house. What a delightful treat. He greeted me like a gentleman. He told me he served in the war for 40 years. He told me he was 83. I admired his view from his backyard. He got a big smile and said he loved it too. Then he asked if I could call him and remind him I was coming because he can't remember things. He showed me his phone and said the number should be on "that" thing. We talked about a bunch of other stuff. Then his wife came out. She told me he had damensia (sp). She followed with, "he's a good man." It was such a sweet moment. I didn't know picking up papers could bring such joy to me.
Choir World - I went to the choir booster meeting. It wasn't as fun, but I got to see Holly in a picture on the wall. That was fun. I also saw pictures of "he who cannot be named" :-) I am excited that Carlie gets to go to Chicago in the spring. It is fun to hear Carlie be excited about this new part of her world. She is making new friends and learning new songs to sing.
Work World - I have been chosen to host the Halloween bus tour next month. What should I be for Halloween. I suggested to the other gal who is hosting with me that we be can-can girls. That didn't work. Do you all have any suggestions. She and I should be themed. Just remember, going as a scrapbooker is out, that is what all the other people will be wearing. By the way, if I am going to work this job is perfect. Great hours, great people, great discounts, great desk....there are lots of greats about it.
Weather update - It was absolutley stunning today. The high was in the low 70's. The clouds were big and puffy. You could see the pine trees on the mountains. One could not have dialed up a more perfect day. Today was so much different then a couple of weeks ago...triple digit weather is not all that stunning.
New Calling - My bishop gave the okay for me to get a new calling. I am the music specialist for the creche' this year. What does that mean. I'll fill you in...9 hours of special music. I t will be fun to work with some of the stake people again. So I have a week...ready, set, go!
Daddy has been bishop now for 4 weeks. He is doing a great job, please keep him in your prayers.
Blessings - This one is easy. Paul, Holly, Shelley, Julie, Carlie, Kellie, Rick and Caleb. These blessings are the real riches.
So a warm hello to all and a Happy "hello to all the beautifully colored leaves time!!"

That was a fun post.
When you headed one of your paragraphs as "band world" I read it as "bad word" And I was curious as to what you were going to say. Then you started talking about band and I was confused.
This is actually Shelley, but yay for posting on your blog! The conversation with that older couple sounds very cute.
