What's New?

Well, February has had some mighty different weather. I guess Spring isn't on its way, as yet. We had a fun BBQ last night over at Dorene's but it was too cold to be outside. Snow on PineValley and all around. But it gives us the water we need for the summer-when its really Hot. I've been busy doing some sewing, mostly quilts, especially the mystery quilt with the Quilt Works. It has some pretty tricky parts, but it will be fun to see what the finished project will look like. At least, I'm learning some new things rather than just square blocks.
Today, I am going to be giving blood at the donation place. Yikes! I don't know how people go and give plasma once or twice a week. I guess the money makes it worth it.
I have to go to schools now to observe student teachers. It is very interesting to go into their classrooms, but it does make them very nervous.
We are discussing The Last Lecture in our book club on Thursday. He has some great insights. We are attending the CCRSEA meeting at Old Main this month. It will be fun to see what they've done inside the building, since good Old Dixie Days of years ago. That's where I went to assemblies and classes when I attended Dixie College. Sam Brooks was the first student to enroll there for the first classes ever conducted at Dixie College and where the arch, that is still there at the entrance, was built with the help of Grandpa George Brooks. I don't know exactly if he designed it or built it or both.
The new Doctrine & Covenants class begins this week. It is so nice to learn more insights there, to help strengthen your understanding of all those messages.
Oh, and the Bishop and Branch Presidents dinner is this week over at Staheli's Catering or whatever it is called. Stake President Doty and his counselors do this every year. It is a really nice evening we enjoy with all those fine people.
Well, that's what's new this week. Needless to say, we don't get bored.
