Pandie Isn't On a Mission Anymore!

Monday July 26, 1993 Laura is 9, Jasmine is 8 Trina is 3 1/2 Lark is 10 months

The house is nearly completely clean! (Just need to sort through my desk & the art projects closet). It occurs to me that I am the same age now that my mom was when I was in 7th grade and we moved to Salinas. Weird.

Steve read aloud to the girls from the scriptures before he went back to work at 9 p.m. and then I read aloud to them from an OZ book (my favorite books when I was in the fourth grade). Lark fell asleep on my lap and Trina was soon asleep beside me (no nap today)so I put Lark in her crib and took Trina to her bed and was just settling down to enjoy a quiet minute when Jasmine marched up from her room to tell me she wanted her (stuffed)panda so I told her to get it.

"It's in Laura's room," she told me. (Laura was in her room reading).

"Go get it," I told Jasmine.

I overheard Jasmine announce to Laura, "Pandie isn't on a mission any more!"

I had to laugh. Leave it to Laura to find a way to get all the dolls and stuffed animals into her bedroom. (We had attended a church meeting yesterday where a co-worker was speaking about missionary work.)
