I’m just finishing up this week’s BSF lesson, about to start homiletics in preparation for Saturday’s leaders’ meeting.I’m taking a short break.
Fran and I had a conversation at dinner earlier tonight about how long she was on the phone to Travis after I left for work this morning. — Travis called this morning. We have figured out that when he calls us on his drive home, it is when we are getting the day started. It works out good for both him and us. — Anyway she mentioned that she talked to him while he was shopping in Walmart and kept talking to him until he arrived at home. I was like, “WOW! He was at Polk and I-20 when I got off the phone with him. Ya’ll talked a LONG time after I finished.” Fran was like – “Not really” . . . I looked it up online just a minute ago. We talked to Travis this morning for 1 hour and 25 minutes! Guess what? The bill is under 4 bucks!
It is really beginning to bother me that more people won’t get on board with this method of calling us- it is sooooooo cheap!

Our morning began with a phone call from Travis. He likes the new dial system we have set up for him and Paige to phone us. Hopefully we will hear from him more often. He phoned on his drive home from work in Ft Worth to Rowlett. It does a mother good to hear a son’s voice.

Today I am home cooking a turkey. It is beginning to smell good. A fellow “m” needed to cook 4 turkeys to feed 150 Chinese (6th graders and their familes) to introduce them to a traditional “Thaksgiving” meal. Anyway – I offered my oven to cook one of the birds – I will get to keep the bones for soup. Yum.

This morning I had the opportunity to look at one of the other apts in our building. The one I looked at is larger and has more storage space then our present living quarters. We will needed a bigger place when we return with our stuff as Associates. I think the apt I looked at this morning will be quieter also. The people who live above our current apt come alive at night; they run & play basketball at all hours. The cement and tile floors – echo tremendously.
