Mulch and Turtles

Hola--
We finally got a Saturday with acceptable weather--that is to say, "Not Raining." Funny how this can be a tall order! Not like it rains every day or anything. But Saturdays are just 1/7 of the time, and you need a block of "dry" time, on that 1/7 of the week, to spread mulch.

It finally happened! Yesterday the Mulch Guy came at 7:00 a.m. on a Saturday, and we had exactly one hour before the activities of the day started: YW Camp certification, soccer game, and David had neighbors' lawns to mow.

It's not very often that we are all working on the same something, in the same place, at the same time. I couldn't resist taking photos.

Today we were looking out the front window and Frank saw something crawling towards us in the grass. A baby turtle who lost his way! Teresa put him in a box and brought it in before she showed it to the neighbors and put him back by the stream across the street. Had to photograph that, too.

Our special treat for church today was hearing from Elder L. Tom Perry (one of the church leaders we usually only see when there's a broadcast from Salt Lake City). He was in the bishopric when our church building was built, in......wait for it......1965! Holy cow!

Our current Bishop, Danny Ainge, found a program from the dedication of our building, dated 1965. Who knows how he found it, but there were photos in it. There was Elder Perry, (he turns 89 this year) looking like a young whipper-snapper 45+ years ago. He gave it to him as a momento.

It's been a full week. Nice to have a Sunday to regroup! Love, Kari
