Rainy Day and Monday

The temperature is still in the 50's so it is unusually warm.  But what a blustery and rainy day!  I carried my Mary Poppins umbrella everywhere we went today but never used it.  The rain came pretty hard while we were in the center from 3 to 8.
A large storm came in over England doing damage there.  Storm warnings were broadcast here, with the police asking everyone to stay home if possible.  Around 4 in the center the wind began whipping around the building rattling the windows and whining through crevices.  The rain came.  Sirens began wailing. That kept up for about an hour.  Then a slowing down.  Our mission president called to say everyone should go home.
We called our YSA chairman and he got  hold of everyone he could.  We stayed until after 7:30 to make sure we would be there if any intrepid souls came.  No one came, so we went home!

I thought if you like those oven dials, you also might enjoy a closer look at the washer and dryer.  Let me just say that those icons don't seem to mean what you think they mean!



I also thought, that you would enjoy seeing the newest additions to our household:




Don't you just love a real live green plant?  They are both healthy and happy, and I hope to keep them that way.  The little tree is in the pseudo entryway....and he'll get decorated for Christmas!

  1. Ha! I made a comment BEFORE Lia did!! Except I'm used to just saying "Ditto to what Lia said" now I'm not sure what to comment!

    Those dials look kinda like English but nonsensical! Were you frightened at all by the storm?

    Do you have facebook groups where you can post a message for your young people to see or text messaging to get a group message?

    The decorations look warm and inviting!

    1. No, no fear....the old building feels very sturdy and has been through many many storms I am sure. It was dramatically beautiful with menacing clouds hurrying by.
      Yes...our chairman posted on Facebook. I was wishing we had everyone's emails, but he was way ahead of that with Facebook.

    1. People laugh at me when I say I am from the desert! They don't quite comprehend that clouds come and then leave without so much as a drop of rain.

  3. I love your new pets! And I think all those knobs are merely meant to give one the illusion of power.

    And ditto to everything Erin said. :)
