A Time Line

5:20 Take nose drops, lay still for 10 minutes to let them do their job
5:30 Get up
6:45 Drive to church for bishopric meeting
7:00 Bishopric meeting
7:30 PEC meeting
8:30 Go back home, see if I can help carry items to car for Willyne (I did)
8:50 Pick up mother, head back to church
9:00 Sacrament meeting
10:15 Help set up yearly combined Relief Society meeting along with a dozen other people
11:00 Attend the Relief Society meeting.  I'm one of two photographers.  Kyle Gubler took the official picture of everyone, I got 23 shots around the room.  I'm certainly not Ellen Patton, but hopefully some of them will be useful to the Relief Society for their history and enjoyment.
12:00 Help clean up from the meeting.
12:15 Find out the finance clerk needs to be excused, go help with counting donations and tithing settlement
1:45 Go home, eat a quick lunch.
2:15 Go with Willyne to Diamond Ranch Academy, a youth boarding school near Apple Valley, where she has been asked to do Christmas music with the youth for their Sacrament Meeting.
3:00 Their Sacrament Meeting begins.  It comes out that as a graduate of Sister Jessica Udall Smith's school of conducting music I am the most qualified person to lead the music, since Willyne is playing the keyboard.  Sister Smith was my mission president's wife, one day while we were waiting for our President to arrive to speak to us, she decided to have all of us lead music at our seats.  The class lasted 30 minutes, the sum total of my lifetime training in the subject.  You never know when you will need it.  I wound up leading 7 songs, I felt OK about 6 of them.  One was in 6/4 time, I struggled with that one.
4:00 Go directly to choir practice. 
5:15 Go home.  Relax, watch 2 movies with Willyne, work on ward statistical report while I'm doing it.
10:15 Start writing this.  See a really nice picture at the top of my list of blogs I follow.  LOVE IT! (OK, I'm biased, but it's still makes me smile to see Chloe and Abigail in Santa's lap)

Day's done.  Still smiling.  As President Hinckley liked to say, the secret is thanking God for letting you have the ride.
