I had to make a few trips downtown yesterday. The first was to mail a package to Roland’s mother. Saturdays provide a two hour window between 11:00 and 1:00. I’ve been told Myrtle Creek’s is the only post office in the county that is open on Saturdays.
Jenna and her friend had wanted to go
trick-0r-treating, but the event didn’t start until 2:00. It was crowded. Each year the city has offered
trick-or-treating to the businesses downtown – though they had changed things
up last year and “spaced” apart those handing out candy in the park and kept
things in the park and not the entire 8 streets that make up the downtown
area. It continued to just the park this
year. Jaime wore her homemade costume “Sam”
from Trick or Treat and her friend
had gone as “Red Riding Wolf”. They
spent their last day of school (Thursday the 28th) as part of the
Scooby Doo Gang.
I had dropped them off at the hanger
last night and they both participated in a spook alley. Jenna said she enjoyed the first two hours
but became weary before the night was up.
She plans on returning tonight though she said two of her friends have
chosen not to return. It’s been a new
experience for her and I don’t think she has any regrets.
It appears that the ward received a
great turn-out at the Halloween party last night. Now masks.
No social distancing. I had a
headache – still do – and will not be attending church this morning but have
told Jenna that I will take her to go to Sunday School but will watch sacrament
meeting virtually. I have been sneezing and would rather not be wearing a mask –
unless they have done away with that. I
don’t know.
Roland will be released as financial
clerk. He was told who would be sustained
in his place. Each of us was
surprised. It is what it is.
Happy Halloween, everybody!
