Missionary Monday

These pictures were waiting on my laptop when I got home from the hospital.
Missionary pictures are the best medicine.
Esspecially when they illustrate the story from last weeks e-mail.
Here is Jordy sporting his chic new missionary sweater. Fancy new window treatments.

Jordan's blogging Godmother visited again.
I hope that Jordan will get to meet Ilene someday. For now she remains a magical mystery.
Elder Jordy told the story in last weeks e-mail...

"I got some cookies from my stalker. There's nothing wrong with a stalker who brings you cookies. Unless they"re poisoned. But I feel fine. They are great and remind me of the brownies Sis makes. They have that taste; I don't know what it is. Probably alcohol."

This is Ilene's side of the story...

" I made a stop at your son’s apartment yesterday to drop off some cookies. Of course they were not at home. They also have pinned a blue sheet printed with happy white sheep over their apartment window. I suppose they are worried about crazy ladies peering inside their apartment to take pictures for another elder’s mom."

Tuesday is the day Jordan e-mails and some very lucky Tuesdays I am on-line at the same time he is and we can send quick e-mails back and forth. It is almost like chatting on the phone. So last week, after hearing from Ilene I asked him about her cookie delivery. This is his reply...

"Yes, they're delicious. The blanket over the window was my companions idea. He likes to be in a cave."

Thanks again Godmother Ilene. You are a hero not a crazy lady.

ilene's last name does not lend itself to adding "eone" so we'll just go with the first name. "Don Ileneone."

has a nice ring, no?

I love that Ilene is your little stalker. And email is such a wonderful thing. That would be so fun to be able to "chat" back and forth.

Ilene said...

A man cave is never complete without a happy sheep sheet covering the window.

I'm so glad he liked the cookies.

Ileneone. I like that.

how lucky is he to have people watching out for him and sending him cookies. too fun.

Christie said...

I really hope Ilene took him the cookies she posted about that have coffee in them. That would really be something, no?

I love the whole blogging mafia thing.

And we're glad you're home safe and sound. Feeling better?

I love Ilene. A blogging mafia legend lives.

Those are some cheery little sheep.
