It's been a busy week again - appointments and hanging out with friends.

Dad took the car into the shop this week to get the hitch and trailer wiring installed in preparation for when we get the camping trailer which is due to be ready in March.  We are getting closer to our dream of being able to camp all around Australia. 😊 While Dad waited for that to be done, I met up with some teacher friends for a good old yak session - this is the second year where a bunch of us retired teachers get together on the second day of school and celebrate the fact that we are not one of those teachers who are back at school.  Although, I still miss teaching a lot, I don't miss teaching here in HB with all the discipline issues they have nowadays.

Dad and I went to the chiropractor this week - the only reason I am specifically mentioning that is that she worked on my left shoulder and upper arm and I can't believe how much less painful it has been this week.  It hurt like crazy when she massaged it as she did a deep massage, but it's been so much better.  I can't wait to go back next week to see if she can do it again.

We did a lot of stuff with Robyn this week.  Her laptop died and so Dad sorted that out.  Then, I had a Relief Society meeting at her house.  I went swimming with her and her daughter and family on Thursday - we had a great time in the water just talking.  We stayed in until we were turning into prunes. 😊 On Friday, we went to a computer store with Robyn so that Dad could help her pick out a new computer - it was really fast at the store since Dad had done a lot of research about computers the night before.  On Saturday, we went over to Robyn's so that Dad could set up her new computer.  After that, she came over to dinner at our house as we had the missionaries over for dinner.  Robyn really appreciates Dad's expertise and willingness to spend so much time helping her out with computer stuff.

We love having the missionaries over - we have a new one in our ward now: Elder Henson from Seattle, WA.  We had a lovely time chatting over dinner and then they gave us a lesson about the restoration of the gospel.  We love the gospel discussions we have with them and the spirit they bring into our home.
