January 16th through January
22nd: Thursday, we went to the temple and then since
we both had the day off we went to lunch with my older brother, Tad, and his
wife Tove. They live in Alpine and met
us for lunch in American Fork. We had a
nice lunch and it was really fun to catch up on each other’s lives. After lunch we went to the Art Museum at BYU
to see the exhibition called “Sacred Gifts”, religious paintings of Carl Bloch
and others. My favorite was one by FRANS
SCHWARTZ of Christ in the Garden being comforted by the angel.

Then we had to
make a walkthrough of the BYU Bookstore. It was a fun day together, wish we had
more of these. Friday, I did the last thing on the punch list. I repainted the
ceiling in the front room, now I can say that Charlotte’s house is done. I will start John’s basement bathroom next
week. Mom had a substituting job and I
worked in the afternoon till 6:00pm. Mom
took front runner to James’ after work and then when I got off I drove to James’. We tended for them. Rigby threw up a number of times and was not
feeling very good. James and Kirstin
came home early and took care of Rigs. We
got home about 10:00pm. Saturday, I had to work all day till
7:00 pm. Mom went and spent the afternoon with Kate and made cookies. Sunday was good. A couple
reported on their mission to the Salt Lake Inner City Mission. It sounded like they really enjoyed it, but
for me it would have been a tough mission.
I am beginning to think they can’t find a place to send us. It is like, “What are we going to do with this couple?”, and then nothing comes to mind so they put it
on the bottom of the stack and wait till next week to see if any inspiration
comes. Remember, “patience is a virtue,
virtue is a grace, put them both together and have a happy face.” I now have on my happy faceJ

Monday, I worked till 6:00pm
but mom had the day off because it is a holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. day, and
so no school. Mom spent most of the day with all the grandkids and some of
their parents at Hollywood Connection. She
played and I worked. Just kidding, I know
what she did was important. I would have
liked to be with them.

Tuesday,
I started the demolition of John’s bathroom and mom taught school. My body was really tired and sore after a day
of swinging a hammer and then a sledge hammer on the floor of the shower. When the kids got home from school, Badger,
Moose, and Evan helped me clean up by carrying all the big pieces of floor up
to the garbage. Thanks to them I got the
demo done and cleaned up and they earned a little spending money.

| All demoed and cleaned up. |
Wednesday,
I got the framing done and the sheetrock delivered.

| Reframed. |
Mom made curtains for Evan’s
new bedroom. In the evening we went to
the new Jack Ryan movie. We both liked
it. No news as to where we will be for
the next 18 months, so you will have to keeping reading this blog for at least
one more week if you want to know where we are going.
