October already?!
Hi All,
I was excited today to find out that the gift I made my good friend Fran actually arrived on her birthday today. I made it with Mixbooks, similar to Shutterfly publishing app. Usually, I use chatbooks.com but I wanted to do some colorful pages. It turned out well. I combed her and her children's facebook pages to find photos to add to the ones that I already had. It made up a nice book. She was thrilled as was I at her reaction.
Ok so let me catch you up...
This week on Monday, Sept. 30th I prepared food, etc from 10 until 4 with help from others.
We had about 44 people for dinner, 30 ish new missionaries coming in, along with four sisters from Nauvoo (who will serve here for six months), and a new senior couple from Hawaii. Brother and Sister K, who are Japanese and very delightful.
Oct 1st, Tuesday I also worked in the library and helped with food prep from 10-2. We were feeding thirteen outgoing missionaries and mission office staff.
the menu was the same both nights as usual. I taught Sister Cordon, how to make made homemade mashed potatoes with butter, salt, and lactose-free milk. I also made homemade gravy with the pan drippings. I gave her some help and pointers with baking her delicious meatloaves.
She got a recipe from her sister.
We made a huge garden salad with vegetables, had the special cut watermelon spears.
We also had rolls, with butter, and apple pie and ice cream for dessert. Those we purchased from Costco. Sorry, no pictures I forgot. Frankly, they were the best-mashed potatoes I have ever made. I used the kitchen aid mixer to mash them.
Wed Oct 2nd I got up and my right leg was so stiff and sore, I could barely walk on it.
It had started bothering me the two days before and was aching a bit. Needless to say, it was quite painful by wed. so I went and had some massage, acupressure, tension release, etc. on it. It helped quite a bit and the chiropractor assured me it wasn't from my bulging disk in my back. I either pulled or strained a muscle. Heat and Motrin have been helping.
Today Thursday, Oct 3rd I went to my followup apt with my heart Dr. Turns out I have NO build up in my vessels at all, of any cholesterol and my heart is strong and healthy. Even the minor valve leak I had before is completely gone as well. I am still limping on my leg a little bit today because it hurts to bend it.
HE gave me a referral for an ENT and a pulmonologist. So we will see if they have any ideas.
Just for fun, I gave this cartoon to the director at the Family search Library and they have added it to their revolving queue of photos displayed on their digital marquee in the library.
