Our Morning Walk and The View From The Roof

We are in our new apartment and we have our walking shoes, so we no longer have an excuse to not take a morning walk. As we left our building at a little before 6:00 it was still fairly dark, but there was enough light to see and be seen. We actually walked on the sidewalk along one of the major roads, because the businesses were not open yet the sidewalks were not being taken for parking. There is a park by the monument that is nice and there were a lot of people out walking, jogging and exercising there. President Christensen even passed us on his morning jog, we are not jogger, but it was nice to see him out there as well.

After being gone yesterday we found out what the rest of the staff missed the most, our candy dish was most of the way empty before they found our stash to refill it. Now we understand our most important role as grandma and grandpa at the Service Center, to provide candy. The candy dish is a nice way to get most of the staff to come and say hello to us at least once a day.

With it being the first of the month we need to get the reports done. We were waiting on the accounting department to get all of the payments entered, they are buried right now. Hopefully we have the rest of the report done.

This evening we decided to see the view from the roof from our new building. We could see a lot of construction from our previous building, but we can see even more here. There is also an unobstructed view all the way to the river front, we might even be able to see the fireworks from the roof here. It is amazing to see the modge-podge of nice new buildings surrounded by old almost shanties. We have to wonder if there are any restriction on where and what they can build. We have been told that there are no zoning laws here and that is very apparent.
