Happy Birthday to my nephew Monte!
(Seen here with his wife, Tasha)

My mom's birthday was on September 13th and she always said that 13 was her lucky number.  It is appropriate that her oldest grandchild would be born on the 13th.

Today's scripture study and question:
Mosiah 29:1-15
"What are the differences between the judgments of man and the judgments of God"?
God is perfect with a perfect eternal perspective.  He knows our hearts and our whole stories.  As "man" we have limited understanding of one another and one anothers situations.  Isn't it difficult to accurately judge someone when you don't truly know their story and what's on the inside?  
Good advice but hard to live by sometimes.

I made three dozen rolls today for the Father's and Son's Outing.  I used Rhodes frozen rolls but they are delicious and taste homemade.  Do you think anyone will notice?

I found an interesting situation in my family history today.  Could there be two brothers one with the name of Alexander A. Strickland born in 1862 and the other Alexander Strickland born in 1870?
I am not sure what to do because ordinance work has already been done.

This is a picture of my cousin Rita and her husband Bill.  Rita is a month younger than I am and we both have rheumatoid arthritis.
I guess it must run in the family.

 Rita and Bill are temple workers and Rita also worked at the family history center the last time I spoke with her.

Listened to Elder Bednar's conference talk about retaining a remission of our sins.  His talks are always so good!

I also listened to several articles in the New Era.  What a great magazine for our youth! 

I loved the smell of pine when I opened the window while ironing!
I also enjoyed the aroma of baking rolls!

James and I went to town again this afternoon.  James had to get roofing material and make a stop at Home Depot.  I had to go to Walmart and pick up a prescription.  I also picked up a few veggies and some other items.

I put some things away that I brought in from the garage, vacuumed downstairs and swept the upstairs.

Around 5:30 James and I took the Razr up the hill to Brady Springs to deliver rolls and water.  This was my first Razr ride of the season and it was great.  Did I mention that it was 82 degrees here today?

Back at home James worked until quite late so we didn't have time to watch a movie.  We did the next best thing, we watched an episode of "Chopped" instead!
I don't know why, but I love this show!
