I like the way she looks in the sunlight & shadows.

Today has been a good day in spite of itself.




Toni was better this morning (more chatty & 'taking care of' attitude), but still acting odd. (still ignoring Jasmyn for the most part & not talking to Mom & leaving ASAP) Today's wierdness: at 7:35 she said "I need to step out for a minute." She was gone, out of the house, for 5 minutes. I was about to ask Mom to see what was going on when she returned, saying "that's better," & continued getting me up. ?????





Sara arrived 10 minutes early, helped with last minute things, & we left on time (even with Mom forgetting where the keys were).





As I was getting ready to enter the KH, Sandi was following Elton & Sirkka out. She wanted to take a nice picture of them against the rhodies. Maybe I'll email her & ask her to send me a copy. That would be a nice gift for Coyan.





Sara & I got settled in the side room. Coleen told me about a silly dream she'd had in which my mom had asked her to help wash 3 big angler worms that were in a pocket protecter. (& people wonder why I like her so much!) Then Colleen came in to see me. Chris stopped by to see the pics I'd brought *more later*. I got to chat a little with Shannon too.





The PT was about turning to Jehovah for help with distressing things. 1. Prayer {the account of Hannah - Sara was impressed with the fact that after she prayed she wasn't worried anymore.} 2. holy spirit & 3. fellow members of the cong. Prov. 17:17 which is my Sabrina.....





Anyway, during the wt I needed help coughing up a nasty. I think Mom kinda panicked when Ken told her I needed her. She tripped going up the stairs, actually fell down!, rather than taking the extra 10 seconds to walk up the aisle & down the hallway to me. So of course Nelson & Ken were both instantly there to see if she was okay or if we needed help & by then she was coughing me & nasty stuff was popping out of my trach............


...................on the Embarrassment Scale I'd give it a 4 out of 10, so not that bad.


**ooh yes, those pictures I was sharing…
Maria Elena fwd'd a pdf of the Bolivian's Branch Letter Report on the building/remodeling of Kingdom Halls. Lo and behold, there was the Trinidad KH!! I guess this is like the third time my birthplace has been rebuildt.
If I can figure out how to get pictures out of a pdf, I will a picture here.

Julie got this from the Contes. Prepare to laugh!
