Mexican with a Danish Twist....or Vice Versa

Another day in Paradise!  The skies are that wonderful clear blue and the air is crisp and clean.  The lake is calm and the white seagulls everywhere.  Whenever someone feeds them, I know it immediately because they set up such a racket.  The air comes alive with large seagulls, and when they leave the pigeons come in to clean up any leftovers.  It is a bit chilly....which I love.  If you wear the proper clothing, you are ALWAYS comfortable.

SK however, is not comfortable.  This has been his worst day so far.  He got up and drove the Thornes to work so that he could return Victoria's dishes and trays to her workplace.  She is the sweetheart who supplied dinner last night, and today was her last day working there.....so everything had to be returned.

I would gladly have taken care of it, but I have not been behind the wheel of the car here....going on 18 months.  I know I would probably kill or maim someone.  There are so many bicyclists and pedestrians and turning a corner is a terrifying exercise in reflexes and awareness of everything around you in every direction.

He returned home and went immediately to bed, where he has been for the better part of the day.  I feel bad for him.....I remember it just seemed to get worse every day for several days and then just hung on.  Who likes being sick?

The really nice thing is that he can stay in bed for several days if necessary.  I can carry on at the center....although the YSAs really missed him Thursday.

I have been baking cupcakes, doing laundry and ironing....it has actually been a very restful day for me to.  I haven't ventured out except to get the mail.

I have also been scanning all of the grocery ads this week looking for the best prices on all of the food we will need for Wednesday.  I think I have everything planned out well enough, and am now just praying that it will be as good as it should be for those Utah missionaries who love Cafe Rio (It appears that about 95% of our young missionaries...and quite a few of the seniors are from Utah) .

While putzing in the kitchen I listened to the Mormon Channel.  Boy....that is a wonderful source of inspiration!  I listened to a program called "Conversations" where Sherri Dew was interviewed by Heidi Swinton.  I have always thought Sherri Dew is an amazing woman, but that 45-minute question-answer session was marvelous.

If you have time to listen, I think you would really enjoy this:

And for another treat, head on over to a Cafe Rio tomorrow and have a Sweet Pork Salad.....and think of 60 of the best young people in the world enjoying that treat at the Wednesday zone conference.   Doesn't that just warm your heart?
