[May 9, 10, 11, 12, 2015] Saturday to Tuesday
Having recovered from the flood that accompanied our first,
delayed attempt to go visit Molly’s mother, we took off early Saturday morning
to drive to Fallbrook, where she lives with Molly’s sister, Nancy, and her
family. Fortunately, this time, we had no complicating events to delay us. We
arrived in the evening, and visited a bit, then checked into a motel in
Fallbrook.
With the 10th being Mother’s Day, all of Molly’s
sisters except Mel, who is serving a mission in New Zealand, got together to
spend the day with their mother. It was good to see Jo (and Pat, who, like me,
tagged along) and Lyndie, along with Nancy, all together.
We attended Nancy’s ward in Vista, where the women all had a
nice social with desserts, and a nice expression of gratitude by the Bishop in
their ward. Afterwards, we had lunch (prepared by Ezra, Nancy and Jack’s son
who also lives with them right now), and just had a relaxing afternoon
visiting.
On Monday, Molly, Mary, Nancy, Lyndie and Jo spent the day
visiting. We all went out to lunch down in Oceanside at a quaint little Mexican
restaurant called Pollo’s Maria. We’re so glad that Mary is so well taken care
of there at Nancy’s with Jack, their sons Ezra and Tim, and their daughter
Rachel so close by to help, visit, and support her, along with Lyndie who
visits often as well.
On Tuesday, we drove back home to West Valley. On the way,
we got a call from the First Counselor in the Bishopric here in the Jordan
Meadows Ward, asking us if we would speak on Sunday. We had been planning to
drive to Missouri and Wisconsin starting on Friday, so this gave us the good
excuse to delay until Monday, which forced us to fly. Good choice. I’m not sure
what got into me thinking that we would enjoy driving for six days and visiting
for two. This way, we got to visit for so much more time, and only had to
tolerate the delayed flights and travel for parts of three days.
