Monday morning we woke up to wet roads from rain and snow flurries.  They did not stick though.  Then on Tuesday it was back to sunshine but cooler temperatures.  Then Thursday night we were awaken when the winds outside blew our bedroom window shut.  When we awoke on Friday morning, these was the scene from our den window.  Yes, snow on the ground.  There were flurries all day long but that did not stop some of us from going shopping for clothing! By Saturday the snow was gone but the cooler temps are still here.
This is a sign leading to the street where there is a shop with American brand foods.  When you see signs like this you follow them to see what kind of treasures foodwise you can find.  We found taco seasoning packets, dill pickles, pistachio pudding, and Hershey's cocoa here.  We walk to this store since it is only about a mile away from our apartment.  Good exercise!
We received three boxes from home and a letter from The McClellan family.  I got cards for my birthday and a mug from my siblings with all their pictures on it.  I love it and use it every morning.  We also got an Easter card and candy from Kaylob, Riley, and Bayleigh.  The McClellan girls drew us pictures which I hung in my office with the ones from the grandkids. It felt almost like Christmas with all these boxes!  Thanks to our family and friends for all their love and support.
Tonight we hosted FHE for all the couples.  There were only 4 of us couples since the Lassons are visiting with some of their family who have come to take them homenext week.  We had a great lesson on charity and a great time just socializing with one another.  We have these once a month and we really enjoy them.
