Superman Lives at MY house

There is no doubt after today that the guy with the red cape lives here at my very house. If you could have seen all that Spence did today, while I slept from one nap to another, you would definitely know that is true. Today was General COnference, which means that Spence watched 3 2-hour sessions. In between that, he took Brady to a basketball game, and helped Brady with the lawn. Right before he left about 4:30 this afternoon, he was trying to get some toilet paper off our roof, and the ladder that he had propped against our wall, got wobbly and fell through our dining room window, shattering glass everywhere. Fortunately, he had pushed away from the wall, and fell into our garden, instead of into the glass. It made the most awful sound--scary times. When he got home after taking Brady to the priesthood session tonight, he had to go to Home Depot, and buy stuff to fix the window...then spend the time doing that. Plus he had a major clean-up job to do in the dining room. He also cleaned some carpet for me, and he has prepared different medicines for me to take all day long. (I am NOT a good patient, and hate taking medicines...so that's another trial for Superman)He's helped me with wash, with changing my bed, etc. There is no doubt in my mind that he earns the title SUPER in every way...and he's so nice, even with all the pressures he has. I love you, Spence--you really earn your star EVERY day, but today you really did! :) He wanted to re-enact the window-crashing incident for the sake of pictures, but we all decided that probably wasn't the smartest idea. :) Happy Sabbath to all of you!

  1. Wow! I've heard that Superman is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. I've never heard of getting toilet paper off the roof - maybe he missed that class. Those rickety old ladders are always a problem. Glad he managed to get free of the falling ladder and escape the whole shattering window thing.

    But having your Superman around has got to be wonderful.

  2. It is the extra work we make for ourselves that is most frustrating. I hope you don't find new aches or hurts this morning, Spence. Amazing what we can do when we have to! Louise, you didn't tell us how you were feeling. Were you able to watch Conference? Love you all.

  3. Talk about adding insult to injury! We always knew Spence was devoted in every way to you and your family, Louise. Caregiving is a tough assignment - but knowing Spence I am sure he is SUPER at it. I hope you have a great Sunday watching Conference....Love you, Janet

  4. Wow!! I saw that toilet paper up there and wondered when the wind would finally blow it off or when the heat would bake it into shreds!! That whole glass ordeal must have been a mess, but more importantly I hope Spence isn't too banged up!! He loves you soooooo much and shows it in sooooo many ways!! And you deserve a SUPERman husband because you are a SUPERwoman!!
    Love you loads, Deb
