Bob: Can't believe it, but we slept in till 9:15 this morning. We did go to bed late--about midnight, and were awakened when the soft water system flushed. What a noise! Sounded like fire hoses were spraying.
I went for a bike ride after getting up. I ended up getting lost and had to back-track a couple of miles. Thankfully there wasn't another big hill to climb. The terrain is mostly rolling without much flat land. You continuously go up and down. Earlier there was one big hill to climb, but thankfully it wasn't a long climb like Ohio route 536 that I did in New Martinsville. I have mapped out another route tomorrow so I won't have to climb that big hill. I get to go down it tomorrow!!
Highlight of the day was General Conference. Elder Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve and Elder Davies of the Presiding Bishopbric gave excellent talks on caring for the poor and the needy. Also, Elder Cook gave a great talk tonight in Priesthood session on decisions and choices. Hope my grandchildren were listening, especially those planning on missions. He made the point that you just don't show up for your mission. Much work needs to be done to get yourself ready.
In between the morning and afternoon sessions of conference Bonnie and I went to Walmart and Costco to get some donuts and muffins for everyone. After the Priesthood session Dan and I stopped and picked up 3 lbs. of bacon. We'll be having bacon and eggs pretty soon. Dan made an avocado omelet for me this morning after the bike ride. Delicious!!
