Weather Again

Terrible to talk about the weather all the time, but it is the only thing that changes here and it changes often.  Last Friday morning it was cloudy but above zero and at noon we heard that all the schools were closing.  Shortly thereafter the storm hit - a blizzard. The wind howled and it snowed for a couple of hours.  Then it poured rain.  It rained until about 8 p.m. and since then it has steadily gotten colder.  Last night it was 20 degrees below Celsius and today with the wind chill it is about -40.

Our week followed its usual path.  On Monday we cleaned, did laundry and shopped.  Tuesday we were at Tara's for a couple of hours.  The young elders came for supper that night and then we did home teaching.
Wednesday we were at the Temple and in the evening at Nathans.  Thursday and Friday evening we were at the Temple.  On Friday evening the only male workers that made it there were the temple presidency and the missionaries.  A few more of the ladies came, including one lady who must be about 10 years older than I am.
Saturday we were at the temple again.  The last session was canceled because of lack of patrons.

Saturday was Robbie Burns day. There were many celebrations that night.  The pipe band that Orson and Liam belong to sponsored a Robbie Burns dinner and Orson, Liam, Tara and Nathan attended.  Bob and I stayed with the little boys.

Sunday evening we stayed with Liam, Keaton and Lochlan while Tara and Nathan went with Orson to a fireside.  We may get fired from babysitting because Lochlan climbed up on the table and fell off landing on his back and bonking his head.
