Monday, October

         Aside from the head cold that enveloped me over the week-end, it was a relaxing and low stress day.   There were workers of one kind or another everywhere and we definitely didn’t feel alone.  All the workers going into the temple dress in white, the grounds-keepers dress in green jackets, and the guards show-off their smart uniforms of crisp white shirts and dark pants.  The cleaning crews in our building just wear clothes to clean in—jeans and t-shirts.

         Even though I sniffled the whole time, exercising outside in the fresh air and sunshine was rejuvenating and it will be wonderful to walk outside every day for two whole weeks.

         Gina gave me the music for the first movement of the sonata we played for the last recital.  It is incredibly challenging and will take hours and hours of work.  Even then, it may not be up to speed!  I’ll just work on it every day and hope for the best.  It is good to have such a challenge.  I have the key to the chapel and can go to practice whenever the mood hits!  

         We hope you all have a wonderful week and--we would love to hear from you J  Sending hugs and lots of love.  Good Night!!
