          It’s a nice change of pace to just be here and do laundry and housekeeping.  I wrapped my ankle tight and we walked down to the bread store this afternoon on the least steep path and it went okay.  We took a couple of pictures.  Glade took the two that show a small construction area.  Someone is building a house on a tiny lot between two existing houses and is going to include a garage.  He said they are extremely small--the lot may be  only 30 feet by 20 feet.  He met a young man who stays there over night in a little "lean-to" to protect the materials from theives.  

          Home Evening was interesting and there was at least a little English tonight.   Peach cobbler made with whole wheat flour and extra virgin olive oil was the refreshment along with a vegetable drink, dates, carrots, and chips.  Grandma cook used to make cookies with a date/nut filling and so the dates created some real nostalgia for me. 

These routine posts are going to get a little boring—sorry.           

          Hope you are all home safe and sound and happy and had a great Memorial Day Week-end.

the sheet metal sections at the back left corner of the lot.  

The bread store--on the right--is where we buy our wonderful multi-grain bread.
It is mostly whole wheat with flax seed and other grains, and it is delicious!
The store on the left sells LDS items like an LDS bookstore would, but in very limited quantities and with very limited selection.  This is a new "strip mall" and four of the ten businesses are owned and run by LDS people.  There is a pharmacy, a copy place, a barber shop, beauty salon, a variety store, a "farm fresh" store that has mostly cheese and eggs, and a couple of places that sell food as well as the bread store and LDS store.  

This is the view as we head back up the hill to the temple and our apartment.
The breadstore and strip-mall are just across the street.

I love the flowers!!!  There are dozens of these plants around the temple.
