Actually, I think the rain is going away... for now. This next week should be real nice. I'm glad, because that means I won't have to haul equipment for our Spring Concert in the rain. We're doing some very nice things: 1) Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man", 2) a real barn-burner called "Repercussions" which features the drum section split into antiphonal groups, and 3) the beautiful "Shenandoah" from the Civil Ward era.
There's not much to report here lately. Last weekend Mom and I have Friday off (a "furlough" day for the local days as a money saving device), but it didn't do me any good. I woke up feeling terrible and spent the day in bed. The next day was very rainy and miserable (I had a bad cold), but I had to go to the temple for the sealing of a young couple. (The girl is the daughter of one of my Dad's good friends in our Spanish branch.) I was to do a ring ceremony afterward for the many family and friends who couldn't come in the temple. It turned out well.
The next day we had a ward conference in the new Wheatland building. It was really a great conference, but took it's toll. The rest of the week I did my usual work at school and Church. Today I've been lazy and not done a whole lot, except I did the shopping so that Mel could stay home and work on taxes. (It was my small contribution to that effort)
Anyway, since there's not anything exciting to post a picture of, so here's a few that I may have posted earlier from our Pioneer Trek last summer. I was a general handyman and roustabout.
