Finally, A Temple Visit...

morning walks at Jensen Pond, a trip to Lagoon, and unpacking boxes of toys in the downstairs game room.  Signs of "normal" life around here. It was so nice to feel well enough to do some regular things.  It felt so great even with a leg which doesn't like to walk much.

Lagoon

Their music show

Gary and Jena did Rattlesnake Rapids

Gary and Jena have gone to Lagoon a few times this year, but this was my first time.  I hope to be able to make it back for Frightmares in the fall.

I started walking at Jensen Pond last Thursday--and on Saturday I was able to walk about 40 minutes which felt like a major accomplishment.  

The cattails were in "bloom" along the path.  I love cattails.  In some ponds down the hill from where I grew up there were always lots of them in the fall.  In 9th grade I did a project about them for my Environmental Science class which included the different ways local people used them historical.  I love that they are included in the Syracuse Temple as part of the design.

They aren't the prettiest plant, but I still love them.  They remind me of Richland and also Syracuse!

And finally un packing some toys in the basement--

Nice to accomplish something especially when I know that I will be back in a recovery mode after Thursday.  Goal this week:  Clean the house!
