Delayed Post

Hello everyone. I just read the last post and realized that it was written the last of August. It is now the sixth of October. Since August, we have had Bobbie come to live with us, move out to her own apartment and had Robbie and Tracy move in with us. In the meantime, Tonie came home for conference week-end. We had a house full. We were only missing Cyn and Kyle for our family to have been complete. I went to Austin Texas for a conference that lasted five days. It was really fun, I learned, I was again approached to work for the Native American Mediators things involving Environmental concerns, but as usual, I declined. I was also invited to mediate with inter-tribal disputes with a person from Colorado who has contracts to do this. I told her that if I had time, I would like to join in this. Then, I was asked to join with the director of the mediation association for Texas to present at a conference two years from now for ACR. The possibilities are fun to dream about. Leslie Goddard, the Commission Director, told me that she is retiring. She is leaving December 5, 2008. I will be applying for the position of director for the commission to see if I get hired. I do not know if the commissioners will be putting out a call for applications. I just wish I would be asked to become the director. Oh well, if I have to go through the application process, I will. I just returned Friday evening from Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene. I mediated a case, which settled. :) I then had to do an on-sight in Sandpoint to see some parking lots for accessibility. I went up to Schweitzer Ski resort and while coming back down, I took a couple of pictures. I wish I could take better pictures. The large one when blown up show the steeple of an LDS church down in Sandpoint. from Schweitzer ski resort down to Sandpoint. It is nine miles up to the top of the mountain to get to the ski resort. We watched conference over the week-end. It was really nice. We recorded it and chuckled when the new temples were announced. We had a good laugh!! It is so exciting that temples are being built everywhere. I am having a craft day for Relief Society this Saturday. I am excited because of some of the crafts that I can make. I also will have a table for humanitarian efforts. Things such as yarn to make booties, materials for making bibs, painting blocks, making quilt blocks and anything else I can think of to do. Well, I better go to bed.
