"I'll go get a Screwdriver"

Today at GS our hand-sanitizer ran out! I quickly called 22 on the radio to report the incident. Sure enough, Shirley sent one of her students to come and replace it for us. Well, bless his soul, Weston was not exactly sure how to open the dispenser. He fiddled with it for a while trying to open it and then he said he'd be right back because he needed a screwdriver. That sounded a little strange to me, but I do not know anything about the hand-sanitizer dispenser and so I just accepted it. But Gretchie knew better because she used to be a custodian! She mumbled under her breath that he just needed to press the button under the dispenser and it would open right up. Well, Caroline told her to do it and she did (This is why Gretchen got to graduate from custodian). Then we waited for his return. When he saw the dispenser open he said "You guys opened it! Now I'm embarrassed! I feel so stupid!" haha. It was really funny. We told Shirley the story and she thought it was hilarious.



Today as always, Gretchen was a little silly. She began the morning trying on my glasses. She thought she looked like a librarian. She also spent the whole day making cloth napkins that she will use for a dinner party she is having later this month.

Water fight at GS

Kari just spilled her water bottle all over the desk and her skirt. I was laughing so she threw water at me. I was still laughing so she threw a handful of soggy napkins at my face. My hair is all wet and it got all over my shirt. At least I don't look like I had an "accident".

Surprise!!!


Kari had no idea I was going to take a picture. Surprise!!!


Jess, this picture is for you. Kari said you love the carrots the most.


Kari always asks Caroline to make chicken, cheesy potatoes, and the cashew carrots, and of course the toll house cake.


And it's always as good as we remember it.


Look who showed up. Six months pregnant Janae. She joined us for free food and stayed to chat for a while. She did confirm that they are naming their baby girl Caroline-Gretchen-Jessica-Kari-Ruthann. Right, Janae?


The usual picture for old time sake.


A few days later, I was talking to Caroline and Kari and I noticed one of the trees in the atrium start to sway and then it just fell over. Kari jumped at the chance to go fix it.


After years of working in this office and answering the missionaries questions about it, Kari finally fulfilled a life long dream and went inside the atrium.
