This has been a long day and a preview of days to come with too much time on my hands and not enough that I can do.  However, our kind, wonderful friends and neighbors have flooded us with food and visits leaving soups, casseroles, fruit, brownies, cupcakes, cookies, bread, and flowers.  I don’t know what we are going to do with all of it—freeze some, of course.  I usually don’t eat much and exercise has dropped off from my routine since it turned so cold; so needless to say, I’m in big trouble.  Glade is going to have to step up to the plate and start eating more!!!

Several people stayed to visit when they brought food and it was nice to have some company.  That’s how we learn about each other and we found out that one of the sisters from Arizona is a brother to a man in our ward in Garfield.  Another sister grew up in Rexburg and was a roommate with my first cousin Marilyn when they were at BYU.  I learned about their children, their other missions, and heard their own broken-bones stories.  It was all quite entertaining.

I’m getting around in the wheelchair a little better, but my leg still aches, probably from the swelling; so most of my time is spent in the recliner where the big black boot can be elevated.  It’s going to be a long six weeks!  Actually, it should get better sooner than that and I am planning to return to the temple as soon as I can get around better.  Glade is there now doing the night shift.  

Love you all and hope you have a great week-end.  😊
