James spoke to Kristy Thomas today via messenger. He told her we would probably not be coming to the funeral. She sent him the Zoom link. She then asked him if he knew what happened to Kendall. James told her no, and she said she would call him and talk to him about it. She loved James as her bishop and she is still honoring him.
James fixed a leak in the pump house and now there is another one. In order to fix it he has to go to town to get a fitting. Also, the igniter on the hot water heater for the kitchen isn't working so we need a new one. The repairs of what caused the leak in the guest bathroom ceiling have been put on hold.
The forecast is for rain the next few days. James is trying to get the pipes for the sprinkler system for the backyard buried in the ground before it rains.
This afternoon James and I were both lying down in our bed taking a nap. I opened my eyes and in between two of the logs on the ceiling I saw a bat crawling under one of the logs. I yelled to James and we both jumped up. He went into the cleaning supply closet and got a floor cleaner to slide behind the log to scare the bat out. I left and closed the bedroom door. I gave him a wuffle ball bat to use if the bat flew. Pretty soon he came out and said he needed a ladder. He looked some more but could not find the bat. Okay, I'm sure I saw a bat but was it real or imaginary. I can still see the image in my mind. My mind really does play tricks on me.
This afternoon I visited the Grapp's. I had three birthday gifts. One for Malea, Emsley, and Liana. Benson opened the gate for me when I arrived. He told me I would need to go in the back door because they were refinishing their wood floor. Soon the entire family was outside so we just went to the side of the house to sit at the picnic tables. Kerri was there too. She had bought some supplies for the family at Sam's Club and was making a delivery. Here are some pictures I took:
Malea is 1
Pinky! I love this dog!
Emsley just turned 8
After my visit with the Grapp's I headed for town. I forgot to get gas in my car yesterday and I don't want to run low over the weekend.
The Grapp's said they were going to town too to see the Old Car Ride in the Pines Parade that starts at 4. I was 3:30 when I left.
The Ride in the Pines starts at the downtown LDS chapel in Show Low and goes to the casino on the other side of Pinetop.
My first stop was at Nature's Remedies, the health food store, to get James some Quercetin. They didn't take too long. Next I went to Goodwill to make a donation. After Goodwill it was across the street to Walmart for diet Dr. Pepper. I also checked out the cake mixes. Still no lemon, but I did get some lemon frosting. I also got some vanilla room freshener and was on my way. Even though the line at Panda was long I drove in behind the last car. I got a bowl of chow mein noodles with orange chicken for me and a bowl of chow mein noodles with honey walnut shrimp for James. As I got back on the highway I noticed in the line of traffice going towards Lakeside there were several old cars. It's nice they didn't stop traffic for this long parade, but just let the old cars go with the flow of traffic. There were quite a few people watching from the side of the road. My favorite was an old coupe that had been painted a beautiful purple!
My last stop was back at Dash and Splash for gas. It was fun to spot the old cars in incoming traffic.
Back at home after dinner I went in to finish blogging so I could do some indexing. I was behind on my walking so I set my timer for 15 minutes instead of 20 as I normally do. I blog and then I walk. After doing this a couple of times I was so tired I went to take a break on the recliner in the bedroom. James wakes me up and says, it's 9:30. I said, "In the morning.?" No. My next question: "Where is the bat?" James: "I haven't seen him." So much for my bat.
I was excited for Friday all week because "The Great British Baking Show" had said the next season would be coming out. In all actuality it was one episode of the next season. They are bringing out one episode a week for the next few weeks. Not what I was expecting.
