I missed our gospel meeting last night. I think I am coming down with either a bad cold or the flu. Lorena and the kids went to the meeting as usual. When the returned, I was already a sleep so I did not talk to them after the meeting. When I got up to go to work a little after 4:00 this morning, I found a wonderful set of meeting notes waiting for me on the upstairs bannister. Kelly had taken them for me and they were truly amazing. I read through them. It is amazing how much she gets so much of what is said down on paper. It is even more amazing how well she writes as a sixth grader.

I am flying to Dallas tomorrow night. Lorena and the kids will drive up to Newberg to pick up a bunch of stuff Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah have set out for us from their move. I think they have my drum from when I was in the band in junior high school, my old Tonka truck, a diploma or two, and some other things. They will go up to Lake Oswego after that to go to spend Friday and Saturday night in Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah’s new apartment. The kids will take their swimming suits because I guess there is a great swimming pool there at the apartment complex.

I am scheduled to get back late on Saturday night. We are not sure whether Lorena and the kids will come back down on Sunday morning before meeting or right after meeting. There is a potluck at Mark and Nancy Ramsdell’s house after meeting and the kids really do not want to miss that. Hopefully, I will have a better idea about the possibility of moving to Dallas by then.
