Simple Saturday

A day of perfect fall weather in Bountiful began Saturday with a wake-up call from an old Utah friend visiting Florida.  He patiently waited until 7 Eastern (5 my time) to simply report his safe arrival Friday in Orlando, a week before his wedding.  Next thing, I got to help clean the church meetinghouse, nearly next door — a simple service opportunity which is more social fun than it is work.

I returned home in time for the morning session of semiannual General Conference, broadcast worldwide by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Thus began two days of inspired talks by loving leaders, teaching simple gospel truths.  In between sessions was the amazing World Report of life-changing and groundbreaking work.

Being close to our new Veterans Park, I simply rode my kick scooter to the quiet spot for fresh air and a little photography.  Leaves are turning colors as cool weather prevails.  Living by our favorite pizza place (headquartered in Detroit where Kay & I served a mission), I was tempted to spend $6 there.  Luckily, I found a can of hearty soup which I quickly heated (my fast food) before watching the 6pm session on my little iPhone — so simple.

Life is good ... with love.
