VACATION, REALLY ?

We all know how I feel about senior missionaries! They are spoiled rotten to the core and they know it, especially one Sister Schmardebeck and her companion, Sister Homer. And she will laugh about this!

The Illinois Peoria Mission officially closed its doors yesterday at 5:00 p.m. Apparently, Des Moines took over all of their missionary info a week or so ago, and St. Louis took over all of theirs on Monday. What to do, what to do?


Mom went into the office to day to finish up some last minute things and do a few things for Pres. Erickson (who left for home this morning) She went into her computer program and apparently the Church offices had shut some of the programs down and when she called to ask what she needed to do about it she was told that she and Sister Homer were officially on VACATION (what?) until July 9th when they officially become missionaries serving in Cleveland, Ohio.

I don't know about you, but I know of no missionaries that get a vacation (unless of course you are a SENIOR!!!).

So their plans are to head for Nauvoo again, on Saturday. Come back for their last Sunday meeting in the ward they are assigned to. Then head back to Nauvoo again on Tuesday for the Nauvoo Pageant, and more Nauvoo time, and maybe just one last temple session. Are you seeing a theme here?
Now my question really is this, The President is gone, so does this mean that the Cat is away and the mice will play? In all honesty, I think sister Homer will truly keep her in line!

About Me

My photo
Keith and I were married on October 12,1996 in the Manti, Utah LDS Temple. We have no children but raised one child, Kassie, who is actually my niece. We have 3 adorable grandchildren, Austin 5, Ashlynne 4, and Andrew 1. It has become apparent that our home has an OPEN-DOOR policy, since a lot of people have come and gone through our doors. I retired from the medical profession in Aug of 2007 after nearly 30 years and spend my time taking care of these three very lively, often funny,and very active children. My mother lives with us, however she is serving in the Illinois Peoria Mission and will return in July of 2011. Keith is an R.N. and works at a local rehab center in the Mental Health department. One day we hope to finish our home and travel more;
