Happy Birthday to Barbara! Had a great day with calls, texts, and emails form family and friends, not to mention Facebook and cards. The greetings continued throughout the week as others remembered it was my birthday. I loved it all. Missionaries brought me homemade candy and one called to wish me well as it was her mother's birthday also.
We were off to church and had a great time in Primary. I have played for three weeks with a different chorister each time. They have all been great and the children have sung well.
The weather was usual - freezing, windy, and cloudy every day. We did see the sun Friday afternoon and that was wonderful. We did the usual shopping, laundry, and cleaning.
Driving to Burlington.
The sights of Nauvoo out the kitchen window.
Even though the weather is freezing, the places to see and tour are up and running. Just can't bring myself to go out in the cold to see them!
Friday evening a group of 13 couples of missionaries met at Angelini's Italian Restaurant in Keokuk, for dinner in celebration of Brother Despain's birthday that was on Thursday. Wow, we raised a ruckus when we sang Happy Birthday! We had a great time visiting with everyone and we enjoyed good food.
Temple Fact: The Assembly Hall on the first floor has a rounded arch ceiling. When the temple was being built, the builders had trouble rounding it out. They finally called Salt Lake explaining their difficulty. Salt Lake sent out nine Mexican craftsmen and they immediately knew what to do and had the ceiling done in no time.
