It Was a Perfect Tuesday all around

I usually really, really like Tuesdays for the obvious reasons. One- I have the day off from work. Two- I spend it out in service. Three- It's not Monday or Wednesday. Haha. Today was especially nice. The group for service was nice and diverse, for a change. I didn't get a chance to work with Toby's sister from Pa, but I did get to go with Debbie on her study with Vivian.

It was such a nice and relaxing morning on the study. She actually made us green tea with fresh mint leaves. So good. I traded her some of my Good Earth Sweet and Spicy Red Tea for some herbs that I hope to not let die in the next few weeks. After the study she dug up some fresh mint and Mexican cilantro.

I really enjoy going on people's studies because it gives you further opportunities to learn about the human race. People are so different. It' nice to see things out of other people's key holes, if you know what I mean. This lady lives on a nice size of property behind our Kingdom Hall. The land is extremely flat and marshy. I was curious why Debbie wanted me to turn her side mirrors of her car in as we exited the car. "If you don't turn them in, the birds spend all morning looking at themselves in the mirror, and they just poop all over my car." "Oh, really? I never thought about that." The turning in of the mirrors didn't help. About 15 minutes into our study, Debbie sighs and points out that a blue bird was perched on her mirror as it was turned in. He left her a nice present down the side of her car.

Thirty minutes into the study, we were visited by a sandhill crane at Vivian's back door. He steadily pecked at her french doors until she excused herself to feed him some bread. Talk about a bunch of naughty, spoiled birds. NO wonder I don't like birds very much.

I was able to go to Miriam in the afternoon. It is so nice to sit with someone on a study and learn so much about them. She has lived such a full life. I always loved listening to her stories about Canada, the farm, having children and all the other fun stuff in life. I will miss her if she moves to Arkansas, but I am sure we'll keep in touch.

I finished the evening off with tacos and homemade mojitos, thanks to the fresh mint. I really hope tomorrow will be as much fun as today. I doubt it.
