Nina went out this evening and I snapped this picture as she was getting ready to leave. Tonight was the Relief Society’s Annual Birthday Dinner over at the chapel. As part of the theme, the women were to wear hats. Now, Nina has had a very hard time over the years finding a hat that would fit her. As we were moving from Colorado Springs to Pocatello, we went out to dinner with our very good friends and as a parting gift they gave each of us a Red Hat. Mine is a normal baseball cap with the letter “R” embroidered on the front. Nina’s was this large-brimmed hat that could be adjusted for size in the back. It fit and now, almost two years later, she’s had the opportunity to wear it out for the first time. I thought she looked marvelously funky (as well as looking marvelous)! Anyhow, she’s back home after the event and remarked, “I should have worn my purple outfit!” She had a great time and had been looking forward to the evening with the other women in the ward for several weeks. Her assignment at the Womens Correctional Institute means that she doesn’t get to be with many of the other women in the ward very often. However, all of this says something important to me: Pocatello is becoming home. She’s part of the town and the ward. That’s a good feeling.
