This has been a good week. We did all those things I mentioned last week
except eating pancakes on Tuesday. We save those kind of breakfasts for the
weekend when we have more time.
We bought Krispie Kreme doughnuts for the office on Valentine’s
Day. They were wonderful as always.
We went and saw an Agatha Christie play entitled “Back for Murder” for Valentine’s day and loved it.
Friday night we finally went back to Spylaw Tavern and
took the sisters. They had never been
there yet. We had planned it many times
but something always came up to keep us from going. We think they were not as impressed with it
as we are but at least they have been now.
Saturday morning I had a meeting with our legal advisor
who is serving in Sulihull, England.
They are from Los Angeles, California and go home in 4 months. So he is going around the various missions
making sure we are trained because their replacements will not be here until
September or October and so the President will probably take on more of the
responsibility and they want us to do more so the President does less.
It was a good meeting and I found out that I have come a
long way in reading and changing leases.
I could answer all the questions he and his wife asked and was able to
provide them with the charts and answers they asked for.
I have 12 leases to finish up or start and finish between
now and April 10th. I was in
contact with the Crabbs this week and let them have a part in choosing the flat
that they thought they would enjoy.
These are friends and work associates of Lee’s from his school
days. They will be going to Ireland on
the 19th of March and so I will not see them. We will have to meet up someday though.
Saturday, we had the meeting and then I worked on Primary
for a while.
Then we met the Hambelton’s
at Edinburgh Castle to attend some events they were doing in celebration of
renaissance days. We attended one on musical instruments and
music by a man dressed in costume. He
was wonderful. He played six or seven
different instruments that I had never seen before. He was very entertaining.
The next one was a man who is a journalist and author of
books. He told us about how we got the
saying Thin Red line from the Crimean War when the Scottish infantry line
stretched out across a valley only two men deep to deceive the enemy into
thinking they had a lot of others behind them below the crest of the hill and
the enemy turned and left. They were
wearing red jackets with white stripes and their kilts or "man skirts" as the
author called them.
We then went out to dinner to a Mexican place to finish
our day with the Hambelton’s. They go
home in May and we will miss them. They
live in Meridian though and so we will get to see them again when we get home.
It was a wonderful week.
