Abnormally normal

As far as this past week, you might just say all is “normal” here in Seattle.

Rain for four days straight – normal.

Losing 4 of the 6 University Elders to transfers – normal.

Teaching on several different campuses this week – normal.

Having 86 at Friday Friendship Feast – normal.

Assisting with the creation of a LDS student association at a local college campus - normal:
But, what is a “normal” week without having a few “abnormal” moments?

Abnormal – Watching a “hip hop” dance of some of our LDS students at the college fair:
(Actually, if you are into “hip hop” they are really quite good!)

Abnormal - Dave & Lori Wise helping on Friday. Not that either Dave or Lori are “abnormal,” but, if you recall, this is their second go-round! So Thanks!

Abnormal – Meandering on our P-day down the sidewalks of this late 19th century town - still in much use today:
Where you may ask?



Abnormal name, abnormally cute town!

And the last abnormal moment of the week – Lori Wise and I getting tickets to go listen to Sheri Dew at the women’s fireside in Seattle – then on the way out, really NOT trying, but absent-mindedly (did I emphasis the “absent” part of mindedly) bumping right into Sister Dew afterwards. (FYI, in her fireside remarks, she spoke very highly of our very own Kathy Hughes.)
So if you experienced just a “normal” week, we hope it too was broken up by a few “abnormally” pleasant moments!

Love,
Elder “Mike” & Sister “Jenny” Thornton

  1. I, too, tried to comment on your last blog, but it didn't work, so I hope this one does so you will know that I really like your blog set up and as "normal", your post was fun and clever. You never did tell me how the potatoes turned out. Probably because I asked you when I tried to make the comment last week.

  2. There is nothing wrong with normal. It is nice to have a few weeks like that every now and again. It is great to see that things are well where you are.

  3. You guys have some beautiful spots to visit that's for sure. Good pix. Fun normal week, too. Our normal isn't quite that pretty.
