My dearest girls - You will think I am a total whiner - but something good happened today.  Every apartment is given basic things - bedding, dishes, etc.  Well, the sheets that were available when we moved in have Spiderman on them.  Not only that, but they are for a double bed rather than a queen (which is what we have) AND the bottom sheet isn't fitted.  Well, you know that we have sleeping issues as it is!  haha  So sleeping with this stupid bottom sheet that doesn't fit has not helped - it's always in a wad by morning!  Well, Sister Thomas, the new mission president's wife, brought TONS of stuff!  Mission presidents are allowed two huge containers that are shipped ahead of time - that's in addition to their luggage.  Well, the containers came yesterday.  She offered anyone who wanted them, an extra set of sheets!  Of course, I wasn't even polite - I just stepped to the front and said I would LOVE them!  They aren't new, but they're nice and they're pretty!  I just had to tell someone!  The picture shows the new sheets with the old pillow case - just so you can appreciate the contrast.  Thanks for listening!!  I love you!!!  --Marmie

OK - trouble with internet.  I'll try sending the pic from my phone.
