         Other than Glade being sick, it was a good preparation day.  It was so refreshing to walk outside for exercise today!  I loved it so much more than working on the treadmill even though it was a little humid outside.  I spent lots of time with Spanish study, took care of lots of “house-keeping” things, played the piano, and prepared the FHE refreshments.  The whole refreshment part of the FHE has escalated into a full meal and some are not too happy about the cost and the stress.  So, we decided to set a new precedent and keep it simple.  It included chips and salsa, a bowl of check mix snacks, a plate of small-sized whole bananas and carrots, a plate of chocolate cupcakes—unfrosted—but served with a can of “Real Whipped Topping,” and some Crystal Light.  It was so much easier than the preparations in the past.  Glade had prepared the lesson, but Pres. Cazier offered to trade with him and give tonight's lesson.  That was great.  

         There was no hot water yesterday or this morning.  It eventually came back a little at a time and there was enough for a shower late this afternoon.  I had to heat water for dishes and every time I do, I think of being at the cabin.  Those are really strong memories.

         Glade is feeling a little better, but is still coughing and doesn’t have much of a voice.  He may still be home tomorrow recuperating.

         I hope you all had a great Memorial Day and are safely back at home.  Love you all; Good Night!
