You don't have to do just work to get you tired. I didn't do any normal office work today and I am really worn out after my day.  Its all been grand-parenting. And I slept in until 8 this morning and have had a leisurely day for the most part.  But driving to Ogden and back and then driving to Highland in Utah County and back were pretty tiring.  We haven't been to any of Spencer's basketball games.  So with 2 of them scheduled for today we decided it was time.  So off we drove near 10 am.  We did enjoy the games watching Spencer perform well and his team won both handily.  We drove home and I watched the rest of the BYU game and Sheila went grocery shopping.  Then I did something most unusual for a Saturday.  I showered and shaved!  Nicholas had an open house to attend in Highland for Southern Virginia University and I needed to look nice.  Both Sherri and Russ had a commitment at the high school ball game so Nicholas had asked me to go with him.  I felt good to be asked and it was an interesting evening.  I'm not sure what it all will mean to Nicholas but it has to be a fun place to be in to have those kinds of choices.  It would be nice to be at that time of life again and he has so  much in his future.  If I could go back and do it again....well, I can't so just quit it.


I read in the church news this morning that my brother Doug has been called to be a mission president.  He will preside over the Washington Tacoma Mission.  That stirred lots of emotion.  I am happy to say that it is mostly positive.  It is a good thing for him.  Makes me wonder a little about me though.  I'm certainly not complaining, just wondering.
