. . . a glimmer of hope . . .

. . . my heart skipped a beat

early this morning . . .

. . . yes! home depot has

a few geraniums in stock . . .

. . . however . . .

. . . with this week's weather forecast

looking something like this . . .

. . . methinks they might be

jumping the gun

just a teensy weensy bit . . .

. . . anxiously engaged . . .

. . . drew's been gone four weeks now . . .

. . . jessalyn's made two trips to provo so far . . .

. . . this happened during visit number two . . .

. . . and silliness ensued . . .

. . . drew'll be home for the weekend

in just a couple more weeks . . .

. . . and the 21st of december

will be here before we know it . . .

. . . i made up a word . . .

. . . cankles . . .

{mine are not cute like these!}

+

. . . dangle . . .

= cangles (ˈkæŋgəls)
swollen areas between the calves and ankles resulting from dangling one's feet over organ foot pedals for a long period of time . . . which i got to do today . . . . . . prelude {with a little break for choir practice} for two hours before our special stake conference began . . . . . . opening hymn, rest hymn and closing hymn . . . . . . with a special choir number thrown in, too . . . . . . then postlude for half an hour following the meeting . . . . . . because our stake was lucky enough to have a visit from Elder Quentin L. Cook . . .

. . . a member of the Quorum of the Twelve . . .

. . . which is kind of a big deal . . .

. . . and well worth the cangles! . . .

. . . peg was right . . .

. . . you really SHOULD go . . .

. . . the composer . . .

. . . the talent . . .

. . . the choir . . .

. . . the orchestra . . .

. . . the soloists . . .

. . . the very best message . . .

. . . for me ~ the *best moment

came from

Mary (mother of the Savior) . . .

"Here Is Hope"

. . . simply glorious . . .

*and it only took me a couple of seconds to get the

"express flooring is the best ~ call 800-EXPRESS"

tune out of my mind!

. . . i bet it's not too late to get your tickets

for tonight's performance . . .

. . . click right here . . .

. . . so worth it! . . .
