Talking to Spencer was a treat although I have to admit when I got off the phone I kissed it because he seemed to be right there in the room with us for a few hours and then poof * he was gone. It left me feeling very melancholy. We learned that he is without water up to 3 weeks at a time. No baths or laundering of clothes. He also returns from a long cold day of walking on ice packed roads to an apartment of 45 to 55 degrees. That is as cold as my garage on a very cold day. He seems to be all good with it though. We sat around a speaker phone. I had prepare two pages of questions and was eager to get as much out of every minute that I could. The family had other plans as they started talking about movies at the beginning. I kept telling them there wasn't time. Then you can guess they used that quote against me every time I asked a question. "NO TIME!" will go down in our family now as a famous quote. HA!
He is always optimistic and finds the humor in everything. He spent his Christmas doing not the normal things we are used to. A ward party with Santa dressed in red long underwear and a skull cap with fireworks in the church. o.k. His job was to entertain the group with games. Right up his alley. I miss and love him so much!
