Bob
is still recovering from his foot surgery, so we didn't do much over Labor Day
weekend. I worked on some quilt tops (sent one off for machine quilting and
have three more, that I've been working on off and on for a while, that are
almost ready to send off. Woo hoo!!)
The
good news is, Bob's foot is doing much better now than last week!
We’re,
of course, concerned over the devastation taking place all around the U.S.
right now. Severe flooding in Texas; Raging fires in Montana, and many other
western states, including parts of Utah; and, now, one of the largest
hurricanes ever recorded, Hurricane Irma, has swiped across several Caribbean islands,
and is heading toward the east coast of the U.S. We’re praying for everyone in
its path.
We
had a nice, but brief, visit with Tammy Davidson on Wednesday. It's great to
see North Carolina friends! Tammy brought her daughter, Kiersten, out to start the fall
semester at BYU-I in Rexburg, ID and they toured some of the area before settling
her into the dorm. It was fun to see them!
On
Friday, we also had a brief visit with Joel and Jacob Estes. (Joel is our
daughter, Susy's, brother-in-law.) Jacob is heading up to BYU-I, as well, and
they stopped to see some things along the way. It’s hard to believe Jacob is
old enough for college! You turn around, and they grow up!
We
got new assistant zone leaders this week and we are VERY happy with this change.
The new couple, Elder and Sister Boyter, will be terrific! We appreciate the
efforts of the previous assistants, but, they are going home in October, so
it's good that they can have a break from the extra responsibilities before
they go.
We
enjoyed a session in the Salt Lake temple yesterday and could feel the
wonderful spirit of the family file work we did. It was a lovely time.
This
weekend, there’s a Greek Festival a few blocks down the road from us, so we may
head over there later today and see if we can get some Souvlaki, or other
goodies. :-)
The
days are flying by. . .

So glad Bob's foot is doing so well! I am also happy that Irma turned west and won't hit us, but sad that it didn't go east and back out to sea. The hurricane has already left a path of devastation behind it. I'm praying it will diminish in strength more quickly than they are predicting. I'm excited that you've been able to work on your quilt tops. Huzzah!
