Rolling Around Again

What is it with Sundays?  It is a day I always mark as a sort of passage....The week is ending and there are a few little things I do to get the new week off to a good start.  I think Sundays roll around every four days or so, and I am wondering what to do to lengthen that time a bit.

January is sliding down towards February and we have much on the calendar....I can see it will be Spring before we know it.  But not this week.  Snow is predicted....in fact the weather forecast is hinting at possibilities of major storms throughout the week, and a LOT of snow on the ground.  Wouldn't that be fun?  I have boots....and I even have little treads that I can put on the soles of the boots.  I have a warm coat...scarves, gloves....I'm good.  And just maybe we'll talk SK into wearing hat, scarf and gloves.

Church was really nice this morning.  We had three wonderful speakers in Sacrament meeting...2 from the Branch and a high councilor.  A young woman who has always seemed a little shy and retiring taught Sunday School and she did an excellent job.  I wonder more and more about what kind of people Mary, Joseph, Anna, Simeon and the shepherds were.  I am certain that a "man of the world" would not look twice at any one of them.  Yet they must have been mighty in ways that the world would not see.

Relief Society was also great.  I love the sisters there.  There is never more than 15 of us in attendance and every single one is a treasure.

In the evening, we went to the Valgren's home where dinner was served to the YSAs of Amager Branch and then we watched the Worldwide Broadcast for YSAs.  The message was about living with real intent...making decisions with real intent.  Those special firesides are always outstanding.

The dinner was outstanding as well.  Kasper's brother Joakim prepared it this evening, and he is a natural chef as well.  We ate chicken parmesan and it was easily the best chicken parmesan I have ever had.  One thing I love about Kasper and Joakim is that they are willing to answer all my questions and show me how they do things....so I am learning to be a better cook.

It is obvious that they learned how to cook from their mother who is an excellent cook.  Every now and then, when stumped they say, "I'll call my mum and check to see how she does it."  They are a lot of fun.  The group tonight seemed to click....I think they are getting closer with these monthly dinners.

Tomorrow begins a new week that promises to be busy...we have something going on every day/night, and it is all good. The only bad thing about it is that it seems to go even faster when we are busy.

Perhaps we'll be snowed in and have to stay put in the apartment for a few days.  Do you think the time might drag?

I don't think so either.
