It was a nice service. The bishop and the stake president were the only speakers, as part of the service was taken up sustaining the officers that are already in place, from the President of the Church on down to the ward level. (We do this once a year on each level of authority.)
The bishop has quite a stash of masks and today’s had a Cheshire Cat grin on a black background. Pretty funny.
I was told twice how nice I looked. By the same person. The second time, he said, “I can’t get over how really nice you look today!” Considering he’s seen me a total of exactly two times, I have to give him extra points for trying!
He mentioned his daughter who was sitting in the back, and he said he had told her he wouldn’t mention her, so “this is me, not mentioning my daughter.” :o]) Ya gotta love a guy with a sense of humor!
Our old bishop was there, and it’s the first time I’ve seen him since he was released over a year ago. His wife has MS and is doing very poorly, and he is the sole caregiver for her and his disabled son. He looked old, like the strain was wearing him out, but he hasn’t been able to attend church for a long time, so he’s allowed to look like the strain was heavy on him.
The church was pretty full, for a change. It’s cool out, but the sun is out and the wind is blowing. It’s a nice Sunday!
I never object to anyone’s telling me I look nice.
I was able to order the Diagon Alley Lego set today. It may come by mid-May, or it may linger on backorder for months, but at least the order is in.
Tomorrow, we will get ready for the campout on which we are leaving Tuesday.
