All About Me

This is all about me.
Yesterday was one of those days I have been waiting for since I retired. I got up at 6:00 am and met my friend Dana, who is the Ward Canning specialist, and went to the Cannery with her and Sister McVey on the monthly canning assignment. We got there at 8:05 and canned rice for the cannery and picked up the Ward's order for the month and returned home by 11:00. My job at the cannery was ripping open boxes the size of a crock pot and empting the boxes in a big bin so the rice could be put in #10 cans and then readied for shipment to where ever the need may be in the world. Then at 12:00 I went to Dana's house and we started canning peaches. I stayed until 5:00. (I am not as young as I used to be. I was exhausted.) We canned about 50 quarts of peaches. What fun. I wanted to keep going but just couldn't do it. Dana did. Grandma Joyce would have. Maybe I will be up to it in the future. But for today I am just thankful to Heavenly Father for another chance to be where I wanted to be, doing what I wanted to be doing, feeling what I wanted to be feeling. It was wonderful. I am truly blessed.
And on top of all that while I was gone the big elf did all the vacuuming, dusting, bathrooms, and fixed dinner. The little elf folded the clothes, cleaned up after dinner, and rode the bike. Life is good.
Love to all.
