Fingers!

Look at these cute fingers!

Today we visited a lady in the hospital. We held hands for along time. She didn't want to let go when we had to leave. Grateful for hands and fingers to clasp. 

She has been sick for along time. The Doctors are trying to get things figured out for her. Such a blessing for her to have been able to go to the Manila Temple last February. If she didn't go then she probably would have been too sick to go now.

After our visits we stopped to watch this cricket game. I don't understand it but it is very popular here in Sri Lanka.

Ken bought a new coat today. Hard to imagine that he might need it next year. Today with the temperature reaching 82 degrees, he was hot trying coats on.

I think it looks very nice!
