On Friday Brad and I headed to Farmington to help at the Sorias. Sid and Natalie have been in the process of finishing the downstairs area in their home. They would be hosting a luncheon for Dusty and Kelsey and some family members on Saturday after the endowment session at the Bountiful Temple. As usual everything that you have planned so well can get a kink thrown into it. The carpet was to have been finished on Thursday and the cleaning could begin, but it was delayed until Friday. Dust, dust and more dust had drifted upstairs from the sheetrock work and with so many hours needed to spend in getting supplies and materials picked out things had piled up a bit for the Sorias. When Brad and I arrived the carpet layers were starting a big day of work. (just two of them and they did amazing--- done by four) You could smell a wonderful fresh cleaning odor--- Natalie was just about finished scrubbing the children's bathroom and was headed to Heather's room next.
Grandpa helped entertain little Sam and Heather when she slowed down. Grandpa had to leave at about two to get the park ready for a group. I would be riding home with Paul and Teresa when they came by.
Grandma folded cloths, played with children, prepared some food for the luncheon, made beds and in general just kept busy with jobs that needed to be done. Before I left to come home we had fun planting the Sorias flower pots. Heather and Natalie had had a fun time at the nursery picking out flowers a few days before. Heather loved every minute and was so excited to help decide what flowers should go in which pot. I think maybe she has just a bit of my love for working in the garden in her. It is so awesome to see all of the beautiful things of nature that God has given to us.
Teresa and Paul arrived in the afternoon with a salad and watermelon for the luncheon and also helped with some moving of items and some clean-up. It is wonderful to see families give support and love to one another. That is what it is about. I arrived home about nine that evening. Very tired but satisfied with a good day.
