Was it possible that researchers had done something to influence the results? As they pursued this, they discovered that every rabbit with fewer fatty deposits had been under the care of one researcher. She fed the rabbits the same food as everyone else. But, as one scientist reported, "she was an unusually kind and caring individual." When she fed the rabbits, "she talked to them, cuddled and petted them. ...
'She couldn't help it. It's just how she was. She did more than simply give the rabbits food. She gave them love!

We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
James leaves early but not before we had family prayer. He is going to the concrete pour in Casa Grande. Darrel had told me he would take me to Costco this morning but James says he wants to go and should be home by 1 p.m. I told Darrel before he left for the gym.
I had the morning to myself with Darrel at the gym, Trina at work, and the kids at school. I got the piano bench in the upstairs common area and made myself a desk in Rowan's room, and set up my computer. I worked on my blog while listening to Greg Madsen on CWIC talk about the Doctrine of Christ. It was very good and I took lots of notes. He put things in a little different perspective than I have ever heard before. Jesus Christ condescended through His birth, baptism and bearing our sins.
I forgot to mention something that Trina told us last night. Fulton Homes is giving refunds to people who bought homes to be built. They are saying it is because of the lack of supply of lumber. James said that lumber has gone up 300%, from $20,000 on the house he is bidding on in Maricopa to $70,000. Concrete has gone up from $20,000 to $40,000. Wow!
When James got home this afternoon we began doing our errands. First we went to Safeway where we got an orchid for his mom and a card, and an orchid for Trina and Darrel. We went back to Darrel and Trina's and dropped off their orchid. Addy was home and said she really liked it.
Our next stop was Deseret Book. I went in to pick up the 40 plastic vials we had set aside while James walked over to Cafe Rio to order us some lunch. I had the sweet pork salad and he had the salad with chicken. We took our leftovers with us and headed for Costco. At Costco we got the items we needed for our ward activity this month,
buns, cups, spoons, and small dessert plates.
When we got to Lois's the door was unlocked so we did a quick knock and walked in. I don't know why we didn't take a picture of the orchid we got Lois, but it was beautiful. The TV was on and the news was on and there was an announcement that Governor Ducey had signed a bill making it legal for community colleges to give four year degrees. This is good news because it will be so much less expensive than going to one of the universities.
We had a nice visit with Lois and then Dawn came in and joined us. She had been at ASU. Her friend is receiving two doctorate degrees. Dawn has had her doctorate for several years now.
Lois offered us some earthquake cake. It was delicious! I may have to make this the next time we have the "Come Follow Me" group at our house.
We left a little before six because we were supposed to be at Sheri's house by six. When we arrived the two missionaries assigned to Sheri's ward, Sheri, and Ben were all talking in the family room. Ian, Max, and Evan were all in their rooms. The missionaries are both from Idaho. Sheri said they had both served in Yuma. I asked if they knew any Kempton's and one of them said there was a stake president with the last name of Kempton. I texted Jared and he said yes, it was John. I knew he had been a bishop but did not know he was a stake president. That is great!
After the elders left James went into Max's room to talk with him. Sheri wanted us to give him a blessing and encourage him to get his patriarchal blessing. Sheri is still stressed because Max did not go to math today. Also she said one of the reasons he is not giving himself insulin may be because Ian has talked about how expensive it is going to be for Max when Ian retires and the family doesn't have his good insurance. Max told James he might like a blessing, he would think about it. In other words, I don't want one right now. James said when he went into Max's room he was working on math homework. Max is assuring Sheri that he will get all of his assignments turned in. Hopefully he's not too late.
Congratulations to Shayna for graduating from ASU. Her mom is giving her a surprise party next week and all of the Trezise's are invited. They all love Shayna.
Back at Darrel's he had made hamburgers for dinner because Trina worked again today. I had one without a bun and then I visited with Ruby and Lola. Addy was at work again tonight. I think Rowan was upstairs. Ruby had seen some of the earlier season episodes of "When Calls the Heart." I told her that this week was the finale and that Elizabeth was going to choose between two men, Lucas and Nathan, as to whom she would like to have a relationship with. I showed her some videos on YouTube of Nathan and Elizabeth and Lucas and Elizabeth. She said, "Please let me know which one she chooses." I told her I would. I think one of Ruby's favorite songs is "Day Dream Believer" because she asked me to play it. I found a video of it on YouTube with the Monkees singing it. Lola came over and asked if I wanted to do a puzzle with her on her tablet. I said I did, we did a couple of puzzles and then it was time for Lola to go to bed. James was already upstairs so I said good night to Ruby and went to bed.
Ben's beard tamer.
Smile Paul!
