This morning we had a quick breakfast and then went to Church. We stayed only for Sacrament Meeting, but it was a good one. Brother Eric Johnson was one of the speakers, and he was good, Also, there was a Samoan, an old friend of the bishop, who also spoke. He was also good. Back at the Villas, we sat for a while in the coffee shop and read the Sunday paper. It hadn't been delivered to our apartment. I guess the newspaper staff finally realized we were no longer on their delivery list. That saves us the trouble of getting rid of the papers after we have read them. When we got back to the third floor, it was time for lunch, so we went into the dining room and had ours. Karen arrived shortly before 2 p.m., and she and I drove to Nancy Barnhart's house to visit teach her. She is 92 years old, and her daughter Jean and Jean's son lives there, too. He helps keep up the house, which was lavishly decorated for Christmas. I guess Nancy has accumulated all kinds of Christmas decorations over the years she has lived in that location. I gave away too much of our things each time we moved, and we had only a wreath that Jean had made, that we brought from our house in Oceanside. I know I saved the handmade tree ornaments that our family and friends have made and given to us, but I couldn't find the right box in either of the two storage sheds at the house. After our visit,Karen bought me back here, and she showed us pictures of the house she and Terry have made an offer on in Oro Grande, near Pismo Beach. If they move there, we will look for a senior place near there.
