. . . 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 . . .

. . . 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! . . .
