"One aspect of perfect love is our Heavenly Father's involvement in the details of our lives, even when we may not be aware of it or understand it. We seek the Father's divine guidance and help through heartfelt, earnest prayer. When we honor our covenants and strive to be more like our savior, we are entitled to a constant stream of divine guidance through the influence and inspiration of the Holy Ghost."

I spent the morning studying, walking, and getting ready to go to my infusion. We left around 10:25 and I got there a little before 11, the appointed time. James dropped me off and went to see the Willis's. 

The infusion room has been remodeled and I hardly recognized it. The familiar things were Frances, Angie, my chair, pillow, and the infusion tube and stand. I watched Jenna and Laura Bush on Hooda and Jenna on TV. Laura was on with Jenna for mother's day. 

James was still at the Willis's when my infusion was over so I walked about a mile or so down to Wendy's to wait for him. I ordered myself a diet drink and a vanilla frosty. When did vanilla frostys come about. I thought you could only get chocolate. 

We are celebrating Mother's Day for me today. James took me to lunch at Olive Garden and then over to Deseret Book to get President Nelson's life story as written by Sheri Dew. It's called "Insights":

From Deseret Book James took me to Kim's house to relax with her while he went to his appointment in Scottsdale with Dr. Weiner the ears, nose, and throat specialist. Kim and I watched a Lifetime Christmas movie while James was gone on his wild goose chase. He ended up going to the old address and missed his appointment. It wasn't really his fault because he Googled the address and the old address came up. He rescheduled for later in the month. 

When James returned he worked in the laundry room for awhile before we left. 

Brian was in and out while we were there. He had pulled pork in the smoker all night and is taking it to Skousen Park for their father and sons outing. It sure smelled good!

When we got back to Darrel and Trina's they had already left for L.A. Trina is going to the garment district to look for fabric. Rowan was gone to see the movie "Avengers" with friends. The girls were all home. When I asked what they wanted for dinner Lola said, "Peter Piper Pizza." It took a minute for us to talk grandpa into it but he would do almost anything for Lola, Ruby, and Addy, so off we went. (Thanks Trina for leaving us $40.)

Peter Piper was packed with people! We didn't care, we went anyway. We ordered a large cheese pizza for the kids, a medium California veggie for grampa and gramma and a large cinnamon pizza for dessert.

Lola says cinnamon pizza is her favorite

When we got home we told the girls to brush their teeth and get their pajamas on. We had family prayer with grampa saying the prayer. Addy complimented him on what a nice prayer it was, and then the girls watched TV while James and I went for a walk. 

Rowan didn't get home until around 11. We were already in bed and James had locked the front door, forgetting about Rowan. Addy opened it for him. James stuck his head out and apologized.

I was up at 1 pm to use the restroom and the TV was still on. Ruby and Rowan were asleep on the couch when I went in to turn the TV off.
