Today was the first time for teaching the family prep. class. They just want to sit there and not answer any questions. Just like the class in the relief society room. But they started talking after awhile. It was okay and they who were brave actually took a flower out of the pot, but then some were too embarrassed to do it, so it was their loss.
Won't teach that class for a few more weeks and then it will be about families and children.
Tomorrow is Halloween. Can't believe that day is here again. I'm so glad I no longer have to get dressed up and do all the busy ness of that day in the school.
Dan and I and our friend will go to President Christensen's class and learn something useful about the Savior instead of playing silly games and eating donuts and drinking punch.
I guess there is a time and a season for all of these things and I have certainly gone beyond the season of Halloween. But it would be nice to see how my grandchildren are dressed for it, but that won't happen.
Glad the weather is staying nice and not snowing like it is in New York. They are having their first snow storm ever at this time and they are not happy. The leaves have not fallen from their trees, so branches and power lines are all coming down.,
Hope to have a good day tomorrow.

Thursday, hair day and visit with friends. Always a great day. I have almost finished quilting the never-ending quilt. I'm tying it and it is almost finished.
I think I am almost finished with my Christmas shopping too.! Nice to have it done and it isn't even November yet.
The weather is great and the tomatoes are still producing.
Having a good day.

What a beautiful day. Sun is shining and we went to our first yard sale. It was just in our neighborhood. The Hammonds were selling a curio cabinet and I wanted it. Two glass shelves and a light and it is small, but I have some of my more delicate pieces in it. Didn't need it, but I wanted it and now it is in the hall. Takes some of the clutter off of the book case in the front room.
Working on a quilt that is taking toooo long, but I am making progress. Started another one that they showed us at Pic N Sew. So always another one to learn to do. I am also making three more 6 inch squares to be done with the year long project of 6 inch squares.
Worked some more on tomorrow's lesson. Dan was a dear and took the Family Prep class all by himself so I could sub for another gospel doctrine teacher. Just like dominoes we rearrange and go on.

Sun is shining and that is great. We have had snow and I'm not ready for winter.
Helped the neighbor boy do his homework for the entire week last night. He will work for me and not argue. He and his father just butt heads so it is better to help him than to have them fight.
Went to the Jordan River Temple last night. It has been too long and it was great to go back. The High Priests were sponsoring the occasion and there were 7 people on the 7:20 P.M. session. It was a late time to go, but still glad to have gone.
Nice day today so maybe I will try to get the visiting teaching done today.

Average day until I drove to Highland to pick up my friend Eric. This cute little boy is traded back and forth between his parents and today his dad had to have a doctor's visit and couldn't pick him up. I went and was able to see my old principal, Dr. Higgins. It was good to see him and be glad that my teaching days are over. I enjoyed working for him, but I like working in my garden better.
It was not fun to drive on that freeway. Glad Dan had taken me on a dry run the night before and so it helped a great deal to know where all the roads went with so much road construction going on in the south end of the valley. I was very glad to pull back into my driveway in one piece.
Then I worked with Eric on his homework so that he and his dad didn't argue over getting it done. He will work for me where he won't for his dad. Strange family relations.
Oh well, it was an interesting day. We will be doing it in November when his dad has surgery on his leg, so this was a good practice.
Beautiful weather. I could live in 70 degree weather all the time.

Went to Grandparents day at Abbie's school. Fun to visit with her teacher. Stanley has been replaced with another boy. This teacher is more in control of the class and She likes Abbie. We did everything they had planned for us. It was busy, but that was okay. Then we took some things to Abbie's house and then to lunch at Zupa's. Good morning and a short nap. Neighbor came over to talk about another neighbor, Sister Brown who has passed away. We will miss her stories and keeping us on the straight and narrow line. She was and is a good woman.
Then another neighbor came over to ask about the funeral. I don't know why they think I know, but I did so I told him it would be next Wednesday.
Tonight we go to dinner with the old Stake Presidency. That will be fun. No pressure this time. Just a good meal at Olive Garden and time to talk.
Nice autumn day. 70 degrees and I love this weather.

Monday, did a little sewing, but the spirit said, "Go help the sister that can't sleep in her bedroom until the dust and whatever is vacuumed." I was waiting for the Relief Society president to give me a call, but the Holy Ghost beat her to the message. Another sister and I went and it felt good to be of service.
Tonight, my husband and her home teacher went to give her a blessing and her daughter also..They both are not feeling well. I hope our little cleaning will help the home and their breathing. We took dinner to them. I'm still waiting for the R.S. president to give me a call to tell me when I should go over and clean.
Dan and I then went to a hardware store and I got a long snow scraper that I plan on using to scrape the ground cover of weeds that is covering places in the flower garden that I do not want it to cover. So tomorrow after I mow the front lawn, I will use my arm muscles and scrape back and forth and try to get rid of the pesky green stuff that thinks it wants to fill in the spaces in the garden.
We went to Barnes and Noble and I weakened again and bought some more books. They seem to be an addiction to me, but I plan on giving them away this Friday to a school class, so I guess they will go to a worthy cause.
Now, to plan on sewing some more tomorrow. I'm certainly being slow on this 9-square quilt that I'm making. But a little a day and it is starting to come along. The second row was started today. Only three more rows to make.
