Ohio and the Ties that Bind

Monday was a great day for Will. Two of his buddies from Ohio, Chris DeMoux and Christian Bahr, dropped by with boxes from Riverside. Chris brought framed pictures of some of Will's fellow residents, a BYU Cougar, a red monkey, Melanie’s hospital troll, Will’s contacs and a silk flower arrangement from Marilyn Neilson. He also promised to send Will some Buckeyes if he wanted them. Christian brought the OSU blanket, Katie Vasil, one of the residents made and the Rachmoninoff CD Dr. Glasgow had given him. It was so good to have these favorite items back in our possession.
Chris told Will they would miss him at the next Elder’s Quorum activity, a March Madness dinner featuring Pizza and Wings. He also said the Relief Society had consented to allow the Elders to join their book group provided they could recite a poem first. The book to be read is The Chosen, but the poem was not stated. Will had already read The Chosen, and gave two thumbs up to the Relief Society’s selection committee. He would love to be there for the discussion. Also on Monday Will worked out on the bowflex, did a crossword puzzle with Mom, played the piano, played basket ball with Nate and Jess and agreed to working on shaving tomorrow. (Jeremy's challenge for a beard-out continues to be a bit of a priority, thus the perpetual procrastination.)
