I live with the Theobalds. They are a 75 year old couple that are very nice if not out of date people. He is a gruff old cowboy, if I ever met one, and doesn't say much, nice guy though. She is a fussing old lady that has to be doing something for us all of the time and is not only fairly dim, but also fairly well annoying. I am sure I have offended her on more than one occasion whether I am trying to help her with something, taking the time to think about a task and doing it in a way that is different than she showed me (because I can do things more effectively that way) or just the differences in my "east coast" mannerisms and her "western ways". I am trying, however, to work on the differences. The thing I am finding intolerable about the housing is that they are pack rats (a crap load of antiques not garbage) leaving us ZERO room for our things and the place is just dirty. I got food poisoning from the dinner we had with them last night and was up into the wee hours puking my guts out. I am starting to feel better as I write this but I may have an issue with the hygiene and a few "Honest" words to say to them. Pray for me.
I spend my days finding, driving, visiting less actives, driving, doing service, driving. Our area is huge. We have been finding people in Pine Bluffs that are interested and are working on setting up times to meet with them. We got to go to the original Cabela's in Sidney Nebraska for Pday yesterday, which was awesome. I got Russ and the boys hats and will be sending those soon. Pine Bluffs had a descent fireworks display last night and you could really feel the small town vibe as a lady butchered the national anthem.
