There’s no further information on the Census issue and I expect that I’ll not hear anything definitive. I’d originally planned to use this beautiful Saturday to do call backs and follow ups. Instead, Nina and I drove (she drove, I snoozed) up to Rexburg, Idaho for the BYU-Idaho graduation ceremonies. Nina’s niece and her husband were both graduating. Further, Nina’s sister Pamela along with Pamela’s oldest daughter Vanessa had flown out for the Big Event. That meant a fairly large group of Nettletons all together in the same place.

Like most Universities, there’s a main convocation and then all the graduates split up into their individual colleges to walk across the stage and pick up their “official diploma holder”. The actual diploma comes in the mail in a few weeks after it’s been verified that all necessary work has indeed been completed with satisfactory outcomes.

Today was the nicest day so far this year. The temperatures were up around 60° with light winds and fairly clear skies. Tomorrow is supposed to be even better. Maybe getting the snow tires off the car helped bring in the real Spring (one can only hope!).

Tonight was an Ice Cream Social for our Stake (the LDS equivalent of a Catholic Diocese). I talked Nina into going, fearing that not many would be there. This is not necessarily the time of year when on thinks of ice cream. Further, we didn’t have any meetings of our local congregations last Sunday because of the Church’s General Conference, so no reminders were given out. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the 75 or so people who were there. The Century High School Singers provided some very nice musical renditions for us. They sounded really nice.

So the day is done. I’m feeling like I’m catching something.

TTFN!
