Bille and Me

Last week I spent the day in San Francisco with Bille. We went to an estate sale, had lunch and went to the Palace of Fine Arts and the DeYoung museums. We saw lovely things in all places.
In preparing for the trip I got my camera and the battery charger so I could charge the camera at Bille's and get some great photos. Big surprise when I got to Bille's----she was up----not that, she was, I had the camera and charger but had managed to leave the battery at home. DUH!
So Bille took the pictures. You can see the photos on her blog. I am sure they are more interesting than mine would be. She has a very interesting perspective. There is a photo of a chandelier. It was so huge it was too hard to get a photo of the whole thing. The tear drop crystals were bigger than my hand-----it was beautiful.
Of all the interesting cuisine available in San Francisco, by the time our blood sugar demanded attention we were by a place called "Thai Me Up". We lunched there with a variety of burgers, Thai food and other stuff to choose from. The other "specialty" of the place was their video rentals. Actually my BLT and our side of Thai eggrolls was pretty good.
The best part of the day was the time with Bille. It was fun to hang out and visit.

Getting Organized

Saturday morning was designated to get the new closest system installed. My job was to empty out the closest so Reed could go to work----see the lower two photos. I got my job done pretty quickly. How hard is it to drag stuff out and throw on the bed? Nine hours later, with one unexpected trip to the hardware store, the unit was installed and looking good.
The next part of the job was mine-----get all that stuff back in the closet. And I did------minus a bag for the DI (a church equivalent for the Good Will), a few things in the spare room closet and the big plastic bin that had old quilts in it. I love going to my closet to get something. Reed thought this new organization would get me ready for church faster----it only makes the clothes easier to find. Doesn't do a thing for my hair and make up. We will have to find something to help with that, maybe a brown bad. Anyway, a big thanks to my dear husband for all his hard work. Maybe next week we can do the closet next to it!

Friends

Last November Derrell Foote was released from his calling as the President of the Morgan Hill Stake, a position he held for almost 10 years. We have had the opportunity of knowing and working with Lauralee and Derrell for over 20 years. What great friends and examples they have been. As they begin a new phase of life and church service we want to wish them well and thank them for tireless service in the stake and community.
