Family Memory
June 2004 - Anna was 2 1/2. She was riding with me in my convertible VW. We passed Jared driving in his car. Anna said: "My Daddy is so pretty."

This question from the Come Follow Me lesson as considering all of the sacrifices these early Saints made for the gospel. I wonder, are we seduced by the gods of affluence and ease?

James got some disappointing news about the Lake Park Village job he is doing. They contacted him and said some of their equipment broke down and this would delay the job. He had scheduled to work on it the first week of June when we have the condo. It is going to be a good job and he is pretty discouraged. Also, Dr. Memon rescheduled his meeting with James from Friday morning until Friday evening. He wanted to be home Friday evening. I had to call Sheri and tell her he wouldn't be down to help her with her doggie door until Friday instead of Thursday. 

Cammy texted me today and I texted her back telling her I had some proper romances by LDS authors that I would like to give to Liana. She was excited and asked if they could come over this afternoon after piano lessons. I said of course they could. I immediately got busy and made myself presentable. Once I was presentable I started a batch of chocolate chip cookies. They came while I was baking them. James was gone to the dump and then to Holly's to work.

The younger girls, Tildy and Emsley, and Benson, went upstairs to play. Cammy, Malea and Liana stayed downstairs with me. Malea was fascinated with James's caribou head on the wall. She looked at it for the longest time while her mom was holding her. Later she pulled herself up to the coffee table, looked at the head, pointed to it and began growling. It was pretty funny. 

Cammy and I visited. I asked her about Emsley's horse and she said she is a registered quarter horse and cost $2,000. That is what James wants so I'm sure he will want to come and see her. 

Liana gave me 5 tickets for the Navajo Taco dinner tomorrow night which is a fundraiser for the girls to go to camp. I took two of the tickets and told her to give the other 3 away or tear them up. She said she would. She loves the books I gave her and is excited to read them.

Before leaving Liana and Benson played a game of chess. They didn't quite finish so I told them to consider it a draw.

James got back in time to shower and get ready for his Elders Quorum presidency meeting this evening. I sent him with several cookies, some with walnuts and some without.

Stacy texted me this evening. Joshua's camp is at Nutrioso. She is going up on Thursday to pick him up and bring him to the condo. I told her she should come on Wednesday and spend the night at the cabin. She said she was a little freaked out to stay by herself so I told her she could sleep in our bedroom instead of downstairs. I also told her I had done in many a night. She seemed to feel a little better about it. Nutrioso is about an hour further than we are from the valley so it would probably take her 4 1/2 to 5 hours. I told her the house my grandpa Maxwell was born in is still standing.

This evening for indexing I started my first review. I think it's going to be easier than actual indexing. I'm excited to finish this first batch.

James wanted to read a couple of chapters from "Danger on the Loch" since two of the main characters have been kidnapped by terrorists.


This is a video of Charlie singing "I'm So Glad When
Daddy Comes Home" Kacey sent me directions on how to
download a video on Blogger. Hopefully I will be
able to download it.
