As I left the temple at noon, I was talking with some other sisters about taking a nap when I got home...but knowing that it is always unlikely that I actually will do that! I should since I'm trying to keep my immunity up so I don't catch Dad's cold. He has been miserable for the last three days and has missed a day and a half of work. Not that I would miss work but I'd like to not have to battle sickness as I do all my other stuff.

We had a great weekend with Mike and Brooke. Their house is wonderful, so light and airy and with such a great view. They still have windy roads to contend with. It reminds me of the Berkeley Hills. I've told many of you about my run on Saturday. I went out with Mike and Brooke for my 10 mile run. Since they were faster and were going further they guided me through the first two miles and then went ahead. Dad went for a 4 mile run closer in and then was going to pick up the car and the kids and come and pick me up. Mike had showed me on the map where to go but when I was at about the 8-8.5 mile point, I took the wrong turn to the wrong gate of the 17 mile drive. After another 1.5 to 2 mile uphill climb...at that point I had given up the running to walking, I came to a fork that did not sound like what Mike had described. I then took out my cell phone out of my sports bra to discover that both Dad and Mike had been trying to call me to see where I was. We finally located each other and I discovered that the right way would have been a great generally flat path. Ugh!!! I just figure that walking up that mountain at least equaled running on a flat path if not as pleasant.

We got to hear Jane give her first talk in Sacrament Meeting. Excellent talk and excellent delivery! We were very proud of her! It was fun to be there for the prep to see what great parents that Mike and Brooke were...helping her get her thoughts together into a cohesive talk.

I just made the airline reservations for Adina and me to go to Norway in November so I guess we are committed. When Marnie gets her exam schedule we need to get in further to decide what exactly we will do while we are there. I'm sure we'll have a great time!

Dad went to work this afternoon so it will be interesting to see how he comes home. He was rear-ended in the new Prius the other day so the USAA estimator is coming over to look at it in the next half hour or so. I can hardly see anything but Dad saw a crease that it caused. Hopefully the estimator can see it also.

I'm still working on digitizing our DVD's. I think I only have two or three left then I have to work on the covers, info etc for them...plus Marnie said that some of them didn't turn out so I have to troubleshoot those.....then there is my quilt that I have to finish up!!! Never a dull moment!

Love to all,

Mom
