         In the middle of a very busy day, I was approached by a sister who started talking up a storm to me (in Spanish, of course) being excited to tell me about something.  I recognized a few words—limón, cupcake, Ojojona, nieta—and eventually understood her to say how much her granddaughter loved the lemon cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies that I took to the activity at Ojojona.  The sister is not in our ward, but perhaps her granddaughter and family are or maybe her granddaughter attended with a friend.  But she was so animated in her expressions and was very happy when she could see that I understood what she was trying to tell me.  Then, of course, we hugged and just kept smiling.  It was a bright spot in my day.

         So--it was bread day and Glade and I walked down to the bread store.  I just couldn't resist taking pictures again.  Everything looks so beautiful every day and I just want to capture it all.  It will be a little repetitive for you, but--oh, well :)   Good Night Everyone!       

Yesterday they put up the setting for the Nativity.

More poinsettias!

Just another view

This is outside the gates and the flowers continue on down the road a ways to the right!

They even planted poinsettias behind the stone sign that identifies the temple.

Notice the fall colors on my favorite little trees.  The leaves never fall and I'm not sure just what happens to them.  The trees didn't grow much during the last year and a half.

Can't wait until they put the nativity figures

My favorite flower border that you have seen dozens of times!  

I wish I could grow these in my yard!
