I took a nap

Dear Jessie and Mark,
I appreciate that the Sabbath is a day of rest, and I appreciate getting to take a nap.  But I always feel a little guilty when that nap takes more than 90 minutes.  But maybe I really need it.  Hmm.
Anyway, here is tonight's journal. I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Dad

It was a nice Sunday.  I woke up early, but so did Nathaniel.  The nice thing about online meetings is that I could feed Nathaniel breakfast while participating in Ward Council with the 4th Ward.  They have good people who are trying to be like Jesus.  I love working with them.  After their meeting I put the roast in the Crock Pot and then attended their 9 am Sacrament meeting.

Our Self-Reliance meeting is coming up in just under 2 weeks, and it feels like things are starting to come together for that.  I am hopeful this will go well and make a difference for people.

Pres. Tangren's family is quarantining because two members of the family have tested positive for COVID.  We decorated a "Get Well Soon" banner and took it to them with a loaf of fresh bread and tomatoes from the garden.  I just left it on the porch, rang the bell, and left.  Bummer.

After the sacrament at home this afternoon I fell asleep sitting up on the couch.  I took Nathaniel upstairs to be his nap buddy, but only one of us fell asleep.  I slept a little over two hours.  I dislike sleeping that long on a Sunday, but I was so exhausted.

Tonight we went to dad and mom's for a Grandpa Fry memory evening.  He passed away one year ago tomorrow.  I am glad we made so many trips to Bremerton to visit him and that we made so many good memories.  I also can't believe it's been a year since we went for his funeral.  We enjoyed pie and ice cream and sitting in the back yard to visit.  The temps tonight were delightful.

Thankful: I'm grateful for naps and the enjoyable time we had in the back yard at dad and mom's.

Ministering: It was nice to take something to the Tangren's today.

More later…
