On Saturday morning, we drove over to Apollo Park for a nice morning walk. Gayle wasn't able to join us because of the extreme amount of sciatic pain she was experiencing.
Later in the afternoon, we went swimming and had a bbq. The weather cooperated very well for us. The outdoor temps were in the high 80's, the pool temp was around 90 degrees, and there was no wind. Perfect conditions! We were able to eat outside, which is something we are seldom able to do because of the wind. I LOVED it!
Afterwards, we went inside and played the "Beach Ball Game." It's a game I made up that we played about 7 years ago when we held the Burton Reunion at my house. It's a get-to-know-you game. I wrote a lot of questions on the ball. When the ball is tossed to you, you must answer the question that is underneath your right thumb. It was fun and we got to know a little bit more about each other.
Gayle was in so much pain with her sciatica problem that she couldn't even sit in the car for the ride home. In order to accommodate her, they made a bed for her in the car. I'm sure she would have preferred sitting, but she accepted her fate. The drive back home to Bountiful was broken up into two days by spending a night in St. George. That made things a little easier on Gayle.
A week later, Gayle is still in pain and had to get some subs to teach for her last week, but she is now on the mend. Sure glad I've never had sciatica problems along with all my back problems. I've been very blessed that way.
I love my sisters and cherish any amount of time I can spend with them and their husbands. Through our virtual "Come Follow Me" meetings each Sunday for the past several months, we have become even closer than we ever have before. That's a huge blessing in my life. God has been good to me!
