Day 124 – Pie Show Fan
I was able to chat with Seth, Rachel and
Caleb this morning and watch Aleeyah play for a while as I talked to
Rachel. Such a good aunt to follow her
around with her iphone and capture her movements as she plays! It was so cute! Then I had to work on getting grades put into
the computer system for the university.
After lunch, we ran some errands and made a
trip to Carrefour for groceries. Then we
decided to go to the canteen for some dinner.
When we got back, I organized the kitchen better with some baskets that
I had bought today. There was just so
much wasted space and when you don’t have much space to begin with, you need to
organize it better, so I did. There is
still some more I could do, but it feels so much better this way. You may ask what took me four months to do
it? Well, I just thought I could live
with it the way it was, but when I think of the next six to seven months, I
just thought it would be worth putting out $10 to do it!
As David was checking his email, he had a
message from our friend, Sherry, who had helped us the first day that I had my
sophomore class. Her mother happens to
watch the cooking program that I did the banana cream pie for. David had sent a link to the show to Sherry
and her mother came in while she was watching the link. Her mother asked her why she was watching the
show and she said that she knew us! Her
mother was so surprised and said that the pie looked so good and she would love
to have tasted it. We will try to get
together with them sometime and take a pie to her. Sometimes the world gets really small… even
in China!

"It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small world after all,
It's a small, small world!"
p.s. A day or so before Christmas, a married niece on my side of the family (my children have 86 first cousins, 54 on Linnea's side of the family [the Petersens] and 32 on my side [the Pearsons], plus the nine of them), sent me several texts on my cell phone. She said she pulled up our son, Peter's Facebook page (of course, he's serving in the Portland, Oregon Mission for our church [The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints], but apparently they are starting to allow missionaries now to have Facebook pages while serving their missions). Peter has been in the Willamette area since he arrived in Portland in July of 2013, and expects to transfer out within the next couple of weeks.
Anyways, after this niece, Yvonne Russell, showed her father-in-law and mother-in-law Peter's Facebook page with his photo on it, they told her that they had taken him (our son, Peter), and his companion/s (he's been in a 3-some lately) out to dinner just a couple of weeks before. His wife even took Peter some medicine the day after, since he wasn't feeling well that day).
We told Peter this when he called us on Christmas day, and he found it interesting that people in the ward he was serving in were inlaws to one of his first cousins (but of course, the odds of such a connection are indeed increased by the sheer quantity of cousins our children have).
So, indeed, it IS "a small world, after all!"
