HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY !!!
Approximately 2,000 occupants live here in the twin towers of Humberwood Blvd. that is a little over half the number of people that reside in the town of Cardston. Wow. Is it any wonder that Grant and I have gotten lost in the underground parking lot - more than once, more than twice, more than three times. In order to help us find our way to our car and from our car to the elevator, I took a black felt pen and drew small arrows on three of the pillars leading to number 58 - which is between two cement pillars just wide enough for us to squeeze into and carefully open our passanger doors.
Now that we are out of the underground parking we use our fob to get into the main hallway where there are four elevators to take us to our apartment on the 21st floor.
This has been another week of instruction in the employment centre. We waved a red distress flag at Bro. Doug Mallory, our Area Manager from Detroit. He answered our call for help and got into his car that very day and drove up to Toronto. He spent 2 days here with us. What a help he was.
Saturday I located the Value Village and there shopped for more lamps, a few dishes and a table cloth. Looks pretty good. Sundaywe went to the Etobicoke Ward. The elders called Saturday night to ask us to pick up a mother and her two teen age children for church. A lovely Mexican sister with a 14 year old girl and a 17 year old boy. Nice family. We have invited them to come to our home for family home evening tomorrow night.
If you watched the opening ceremonies of the Olympics I am sure you were as thrilled as we were at the wonderful, spectacular, fantastic, all inspiring, display - that welcomed the world to Canada and the Winter Olympics. WONDERFUL!!! And a huge thank you to those who worked for years to make this event such a highlight in our lives. We are so very proud to be CANADIAN.
Bye for now - Elaine

Hi, guys, it's me, Marion. Must tell you how great it is to hear about your doings in this new venture in your lives. Avilda is so thrilled when I tell her there's a new post up, she came in and I brought up last week's, she is so amazed with this instant communication, and so grateful for modern technology. It's too late tonight to show her this one, but I will right after breakfast in the morning. I laughed at your cleverness at marking the way to your car, Elaine! Almost as good as Hansel and Gretel marking the path with bread crumbs....is that the right fairy tale? And you'll soon catch on to the work you're called to, I'm sure, and probably develop your own ways of carrying it out. Avilda is making me eat ground-up flax seed! She crunches up a daily serving for me....she is such a dear sweet person, I just love her. Take care, my dears, and thank the Good Lord for GPS. TTYL. Marion.
