Sad that I got no posts in whatsoever in April. We had another long day in District yesterday. Maybe I only post when I'm worn out from the day before. And most of our pictures are going onto Jim's computer and then Picasa and I have no easy way to add them here.
We picked up Kodie about ten and headed toward town. Our goal was to visit Theodore Roosevelt Island, Tudor Place, Dumbarton Oaks and Meridian Hill Park. We got it all in and added a visit to Ben's Chili Bowl and a drop-by of the D.C. version of the "legalize marijuana" rally going on worldwide, as well. Back at Kodie's we ate yummy food she had fixed and played bananagrams. Everyone won at least once so that worked out well.
Our time here in Virginia is winding down quickly. We've been able to see and experience so much being here along with our work in the mission office and our associations with the missionaries, senior and otherwise. We've enjoyed the friends we've made in our Spanish ward as well.
The "greening" of Virginia is almost complete. Although it's been coming on for weeks, it seems so sudden. The trees are leafed out and the bare woods are filled with green. The Farmer's Market opened yesterday for the season so we took our traditional stroll through the woods to the train station and paid way too much for fruit and veggies. We said hi to our friends there and thought of one more thing we'll miss as we head home.
That said...can't wait to be home and hug the grandkids. We think we'll stay home for a while. We've been gone for three of the last four years and we could stand being home for a time.
