I had not heard from Sara or Jacob and family so I called and Oliver answered the phone. I am always very happy to talk to Oliver - most of the time he does not talk but runs away when we are on facetime or skype. This time he started out by saying "I can't find mom or dad or Ethan - they have disappeared. I ate my dinner and came to watch tv and now I cannot find anyone. They have all disappeared" I talked to him for a while and then told him that I was stuck on one level of Angry Birds and needed his help. I asked if he could come over and fix this problem for me and he said "I am not old enough to drive and my feet cannot reach the pedals."
This morning my phone rang and it was Oliver. He told me he was trying to call the Baggerley's but he did the speed dial thing and got me instead. I told him that he was the best and that I love him and his reply was "Well, you told me that every day you were here and you tell me that each time you are on the phone." I cannot tell my children or grand children too many times that I love them. When I die, I hope that they remember that I loved them in mortality and forever. I asked him if he was going to school today and he said yes, he was waiting for his ride to come. He told me that Ethan had to go to school early because he was playing his 'tromboney'. Ethan is playing a Trombone in the School music program. Jacob also played Trombone in his school band.
For the past three months I have not been able to walk very well. I have had cortisone shots for inflamed muscles/tendons and am starting to feel better. So well in fact that yesterday I went to Zumba class and stayed the whole course....I am proud of my efforts.
Last night we went to see a one man show entitled "Jerusalem Jones, and the mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls." Mr. Ken Hanson, PhD presented the whole story of the Dead Sea Scrolls and it was a wonderful presentation. He is a scholar of Hebrew language and literature, the history of biblical lands and Jewish and early Christian culture. The whole audience was spellbound as he channeled Indiana Jones as Jerusalem Jones and it was the best performance I have seen in a long time.
