We got to listen to some wonderful music Tuesday night, Monica played us some songs on her trumpet, the Gloria played for us on her cello, WOW they are both so talented. Weather it was Disney or Harry Potter it was great. Earlier in the evening we watched a movie called Change of Plans it was very good. Then we got to watch some family movies from when the girls were younger, it was so nice to think back to those times. Boy was in one of them when the kids were coloring Easter Eggs at Mom's house, it seemed like he should still be here. When will it seem real? I was up till about 1:30 am trying not to think but knowing one day soon I am going to have to quit running. Then this morning I was up at 7:30 sending Misti an e mail about remembering where I had put some papers. I then went back to sleep, sleeping solid, turns out it was not a real memory, since she said that is not where the papers are.
I got up at 10:30am to get ready to go to Feed My Starving Children, this is a place where christian volunteers arrive to package food for children in parts of the world where there is need. Haiti, Uganda, Philippines is where the packages we packed today were going. Ann, Monica, Nicole and I went today. We worked for about 90 minutes today after being instructed on the correct method of doing this, you have about 6 people on a team and each one has their own job to do, one pours chicken base, then dried veggies into a bag that another is holding open under a funnel, then the next one pours soy bean and then rice in the bag. The person holding the bag then weighs the bag and if it is within the limits it is handed to another person who is sealing the bags and they in turn hand it to the person who is counting the bags to box 36 bags go into a box and our team packed 19 boxes, in all the 97 people who volunteered in our time slot boxed 102 boxes. It was awesome to do this, I would love to find a place closer to home to do something like this.
We then went to pick up Gloria from driver ed the went to Wal-Mart to look around then on to Steak n Shake for a drink.
We went to take Monica to her trumpet lesson, then came to the house to meet John to go out to the movies and dinner. We went to Hollywood Palms, this amazing theater that had all these old movie posters hanging all over their walls of the outer rooms. Then you went into your theater, where there are tables and very comfortable chairs, your waiter comes and takes your drink and dinner order before the movie starts then delivers it to you during the movie. It was a lot of fun. We watched Cars 2, it was pretty good.
We are now back at the house relaxing. This has been a very enjoyable day.
