Eeny, meeny, minee, mo....

Well I have been in St. Pete's since Tuesday and have been searching for a place to live.
1. I have found a three bedroom apartment that might fit the bill, but ....the place is in a huge complex, like a concrete jungle and no hook up for washer and dryer...use of laundromat on grounds is the expected norm....that gets expensive.
2. Then there is another granny flat (ONE BED - ONE BATH) that is really cheap but it is tomb-like cause everyone is 55 and up.
3. THEN the best place is a town house, twice the price, but oh so beautiful. Near the water, not quite a beach front view but within 5 minutes walk of the marina (about 5 streets) and on down the coast is the beach. This is the one I want, but it is the most in price, so I am weighing up all the options. It is also the closest to downtown and work, so the car and gas would be less than if I took the cheaper one, making the cheaper (3 bedroom one) not really so cheap. I have been looking at houses too, but they are about the same price as the townhouse and would include the yard. Well I have not had much time to visit family because I have had appointments all day with real estate agents, but will call S/Donna tomorrow and touch base. I figure if I get the town house they can all come and celebrate with me....xoxox ...dinah

Car shopping

Well what do you think? Think I would look good in this little red number? I am second hand car shopping so that I will not break down on the way to Florida in my goodie but oldie Chevrolet....These are missionary cars that sell really fast as they only have less than 50 miles on them, but they are good if you can get them. I will let you know...boxes awaiting to be packed...love all ...di

Sister Eacott was my Primary President and we met in her house. Your Grandfather, David Smylie was the Branch President and he is about 40 years of age and I loved to hear him lead the singing. Sister Florence (Flo) Quick would play the organ. Aunt Una Pope and Sister Eacott were the only members in Whyalla when we first moved there. I think Sister Quick played the organ for us long before she was a member. We would meet in Hockey House, a sports club and have to clean it out from the drinking parties the night before prior to holding Sunday School in the morning and then we had Sacrament at night. Christina was called as YW Pres at 16...(reminds me of Nephi!). Great examples of leadership to grow up with,
