No, We are all Alike..... but Different

What a beautiful day here!  We wished we had taken the opportunity to go see the inside of Tivoli...the temperature has been holding steady in the low 40's but with a coat on, it is very pleasant.

I have just finished in the kitchen....cutting onions.  I am making more cream of chicken soup for dinner tomorrow.  We are having the senior missionaries in our area over for Hawaiian Haystacks.  They are easy when everyone brings something, and they were such a hit with the young crowd...why not try it on senior Americans?

We went to dinner tonight at a member's home from the branch.  It was the fabulous fairy tale prince and princess.  They fixed another feast and put it on with such ease.  They fixed tacos!  They put all the ingredients on the table and we rolled or stacked our own tacos, and they were very good.  The meat was excellent and the guacamole was delicious....everything was great.

Is it just me, or does it seem like all I write about is food?  


After dinner we sat around talking.  I enjoyed all of the other 8 guests plus the two hosts.  We had a lot in common and they were so interesting to visit with.  So many topics came and went and so many opinions were offered, and so many different personalities among us.  Besides us, our prince/host was the oldest there at 30.  There was a guest from Finland and one from Chile, one from Sweden and the rest were from Denmark....then of course us.  We visited for a couple of hours and then everyone kind of said it was time to leave.

It is interesting to find ourselves in a Danish class full of young people, a mission call to work with the young people and then be in a branch with many young people.  Do you think this might help us feel younger?

  1. You will not only feel younger - you will be younger (at least younger at heart)! What a wonderful evening and great day. Glad you could do a repeat performance on the haystacks. They WILL enjoy!
    Yup - You definitely spend a lot of writing time with food - but only because you are always cooking for your groups. L&P

  2. I am sure there is something I should be learning here....besides how to cook.
