One senior missionary couple is leaving next week and we were able to purchase their printer.  Hooray!  Our next-door neighbor is a computer expert and came to our rescue when we needed help connecting!  So, we are set.  

Glade went to choir practice this morning and enjoyed it.  His mother would be proud of him.  I had to stay at home and prepare a Relief Society lesson for next Sunday.  Our block of meetings starts at 2:30 p.m. which makes for a very late schedule.  After the meetings today, the entire ward went to the temple grounds where someone had arranged for a ward photo session in front of the temple.

It is cloudy and a little rainy and the humidity is so heavy it is hard to breathe.  We hope it doesn’t last too long.  We are so not used to that.

And I learned today that I can’t burn a scented candle in our apartment—or anything else with a flame.  It is a church-owned building and the same rules apply apparently as to meeting houses in that one cannot have an open flame at any time.  So, we’ll make a trip to Bath and Body Works and get some fragrance plug-ins—oh, they’re Wal-flowers!  They will work just as well and probably last longer.  We only have an inch in the bottom of our big candle since we have to burn it every day.

The temple is open tomorrow, Columbus Day, and we have an early schedule.  Time to “hit the hay” and try to sleep.

Love and hugs to everyone in our fantastic family!!!

Our beautiful temple one this overcast Sunday evening.  It took a while for me to notice that the spires are gold.  On sunny days it's harder to identify.
