It has been a good week. I have
had work to do but it has not been overwhelming. President and Sister Brown were there the
first three days and then left for Ireland for the next four. I have finished opening two flats and closed
two flats this week and have others that I am just expecting the security
deposit or utilities deposit back on and then they will be closed. I am still looking for one or two flats at
the moment.
In Young Women’s we worked on filling out a family group
sheet on Tuesday night and it made me realize how much I need to work on my
own. I have tried to figure if I can
take a couple of hours off in Tuesday or Wednesday to go over to the church and
work on it during the day.
Thursday evening we had Barbara and Stewart over for dinner
from the Falkirk Branch and had a wonderful evening with them.
Friday we had the sisters over for dinner and games and
shopping. It was fun as usual.
We went to Stirling and Campbell Castle
on Saturday.
Flat Stanley arrived on Thursday
and so we had to take Stanley to the Castle that we think might be the family
castle from relatives so long ago. We
had never been there before and Saturday was a great day to go. We got there just as members of the wedding
party we starting to arrive to set up for a wedding and so we got to see the castle
being prepared for the wedding. They had
hired a man to play the bagpipes and so we got to hear him play and even got in
our request for the Scottish song with the tune of Praise to the Man. Stanley loved all of it.
Stirling Castle is always one we love to go to and the
sisters have not been yet and so that was our next stop. Stanley loved seeing it again also.
Today is Remembrance Day as it is known over here, in the
US we call it Veteran’s Day. We all wear
red poppies to church. Then all the
speakers spoke on some part of that. We
also had two minutes of silence at 11:00.
Afterward they take a red poppy wreath and place on the statue
commemorating those who have given their lives for their country. Stanley took part in that also. I am so glad we live in the land of the free
and for family member and other who have been in the armed services for our
country.
We haven’t heard from many this last week. We haven’t found many on line when we have
been on Skype. We hope to hear from more
of you this week. We are well and
happy. We think of you, pray for you,
and miss you. Have a great week.
Love,
Grandma and Grandpa
