I read this from my Patriarchal Blessing:
"If we pray always we will be shielded from temptations greater than we are able to withstand, thus the righteous desires of our hearts can be realized as we live under His divine influence."
I battled the bougenvia in the backyard today and I won, but not without battle scars.
James hurt himself today using the compacter down on Saki's lot. But he did some really good things today so I couldn't be too upset with him. He got up early and took Alex and Michael fishing at Discovery Park. He came home and fixed steak and gravy and I popped some frozen biscuits in the oven. MMMMM Delish!
I called and wished my brother Harold a Happy Birthday. He is 62 years old today.
I went to Ben's football game this afternoon. That boy can throw the ball and that boy can catch the ball....he has good hands. He made one diving catch right on the ground. Ian Wanlass is good on defense. They are the stars of the team as far as I'm concerned.
James and I began our fast this afternoon. We will fast until tomorrow after Church.
I took all the dolls out of my doll closet tonite and arranged them in the living room and invited Addy and Ruby over to go doll shopping. Addy picked out a "fancy lady doll" in a beautiful red dress by the name of Rosalind. Trina picked the doll I thought looked the most like Ruby for Ruby...it's a cute little girl doll with two ponytails and her name is "Sunshine and Lollipops." She reminds me of Ruby because of the ponytails and the lollipop she's holding in her hand. Ruby always goes for the candy jar when she comes to our house.
Trina lost Ruby the other day when she told her to go get in the car with the other kids. Instead of getting in the car Ruby jumped on her bike and rode two blocks down the street before Trina caught her.
Darrel and Rowan didn't come this evening because they were out on the desert somewhere roasting marshmallows. Rowan wanted to go camping.
After the girls left our house they were going to Cold Stone Creamery.
