San Diego gift shop Scripps Hospital and gifts

The hospital was about 20 min from Daniel's house.

I had to get something out of Daniel's room for him, while I was there. I was amazed by his shoe collection.



While I waited around I checked out the gift store. Th stocking hat and scarf had lights that lit up and or music that played.

I also got a laugh out of this t-shirt. My friend gave me advice like that for outfits. She said if you really love it by a second one, so when the first one wears out you still have a spare. Shoes are hard to fit my feet these days I wear an 11 ww. Hard to find!


I thought these cat slippers would be cute for Katie.
However I already gave her some  last year. I was tempted to get her the dog slippers instead but decided she probably didn't need two pairs.


I wanted to get this night shirt for my friend Annie Isham. She is a book lover and collector like me, though before my mission I donated lots of books to my grandson's charter school and other places. I kept my very favorite ones or sentimental ones. Like gifts from my grandmother and my Stepfather and others

I found the perfect nightgown for Katie but she already has several pairs of PJ's.

I wanted to give this to my friend who has 15 kids, though only 6 left in the home.

The pillowcases I mentioned to you earlier, were presented to the Sisters so nicely by Sister Cordon (mission President's spouse)

My reborn interest has caught on . I sent one to a friend for a birthday Christmas present because she said it relaxed her holding the newborn size  reborn. IT's true they have had studies done, that

My first convert baptism Estreniah Radcliff from Canada

Image
I met Estreniah in the library a few months ago. We got talking, about life. I was helping her with the family search for a bit. She is nanny here, and it was her night off.  She had majored in Sociology and me in psych. We both love kids and had a lot to talk about. She sent part of her later life in foster care. So someday she wants to be a foster parent too. Which lead to our discussion about the challenge of raising children who have experienced early trauma. I introduced her to another Sister to help her. A few days later she came again with more questions. This time the questions were about the church.      We are only allowed to answer questions about family history and bear a brief testimony about why we do family history work, I did just that.  We are not allowed to proselytize in the Library.  We want people to feel comfortable coming here.  Since she still had more questions I introduced her to the younger Sister missionaries  ...

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 men...

A thank you note

The night before heading down to the Newport Beach temple, I had had my windows open, I was up late because I was having a hard time getting comfortable in my bed. My neck was stiff so I was heating up a heating pad. I heard a truck pull up and looked out my kitchen window to see a fire. ambulance type vehicle there. COncerned (Because we have many older patrons staying here at times) I decided to go and see if they needed any help. like a ride to the hospital for instance. It was 12:45 am I was pretty sure I was the only one awake, Since our apt complex is pretty mucha U shape it was easy for me to spot from the hallway balcony where the paramedics were. It turned out to be a single gal here who had suddenly been hit with either food poisoning or the violent flu. She was dizzy and sweating and ran to the bathroom to relieve herself using both toilet and garbage can. When she tried to get up, she passed out and hit her head on the side of the tub. When she came to she was having trou...
