Yes, I'm Alive!

If it seems that I've dropped off the face of the earth, it is all an allusion.
Like everyone else I know, I have just been overwhelmed with the busyness of life.
During the last two weeks of May I was caught up in working extra hours to finish up the business of ending a school year, helping Marisa and Jonathan pack up to move, a ward funeral, and celebrating Clive's birthday. In addition, Clive and I worked long, hard hours preparing and planting a garden.
When June arrived I made a recommitment to exercise daily and I spent two LONG, boring days doing my civic duty on jury duty. It is an opportunity that we all need to participate in. The court system seems a little different when you are on the side of making decisions concerning people's lives. I worked on a Relief Society enrichment social, making myself a pioneer bonnet and apron to be in the spirit of the evening and prepared and taught a Relief Society lesson.
We've attended weddings, celebrated our anniversary, spent time in the temple, and enjoyed an outing with our grandsons. On top of everything, summer school has started and I work from 8-4 every Tuesday and Thursday. This week I'll be hosting our dinner group and finishing up visiting teaching to the five sisters I'm assigned to.
On top of everything, my camera isn't working. It looks like I may be making a new purchase. I'll be making new posts soon with the few photos I have been able to get.
Now ... life continues to speed along!

OH my word, you're a busy woman! I hope all your activities and projects went well. And I hope you survived them!

It's good to hear that you are still alive. I commend you on your jury duty, I've been called 10 times but never had to serve (lucky me). I hope that your W.W. is going well, Dad seems pretty optimistic about his progress.
