1. Returned a sweater to Target and bought one that I like better (and it cost less) at Ross.
2. Decorated a new "friendship basket" for Young Women.

5. Put out some poinsettias in my newly-repaired iron plant hanger on the front porch (Thank you, Carl.)
6. Realized that the blower in one of the heating units isn't working. (Drat!)

  2. Linda, I see that you want to serve a mission with your husband. Let me tell you that will be one of the most cherished experience that you will ever have. Do it while you are young, right after Bill retires. That is the best time in my estimation.

  3. I am going to make it my personal mission to find or make that doughnut for you! I do love cooking. You mentioned Dad washed his car yesterday but you did not say how many times!
