Yesterday was another wonderful day. I've written before about how much I enjoy my time with our youth, and yesterday I got to spend time with another age group I enjoy. I went to the nursing home and spent time with some of our seniors. An elder and I took communion to the five saints who live at one of the nursing homes in Town. We had an opportunity to just sit around and visit. All of these folks are over 85 years old. One had questions about things he had heard a minister say on TV, so he quizzed me and challenged me, and I loved it. He kept apologizing, and I kept telling him how much I enjoyed these discussions, and how it stretched me and helped me grow. I'm not sure he really believed me. He and I regularly disagree, as he thinks he's a "waste of space," and I see him as a "source of wisdom."
Daughter made it through the day without calling me, which was nice. Her blood sugars still don't make sense to me, but at least she didn't have any lows yesterday. It's 10:00, and she just stumbled out of bed, wanting to know today's schedule. She's gone down to eat breakfast, and then I'm going to wash her hair. After we do some work around the house, I told her we could go to a festival in town. She liked that idea.
I still have some work to do for tomorrow, but it's a sunny, cool fall day, and I think we need to get outside and enjoy the weather. I'm looking forward to wearing a sweatshirt today. Maybe I'll pull out the one for the university most of my neighbors hate. It's always fun to go against the flow.
