"Love, Share, Invite"

Elder Gary E. Stevenson

Of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

We all share things with others. We do it often. We share what movies and food we like, funny things we see, places we visit, art we appreciate, quotes we're inspired by.

How might we simply add to the list of things we already share what we love about the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Addy was the first to wish me a Happy Birthday, via text. I got lots of wishes today from family and friends, thanks to Facebook and Instagram. I also got several cards in the mail. James wrote me the sweetest note which I will treasure forever. The girls, Ruby and Lola, each made me a note. 

James took the day off  work and we went into town around 10:45. We stopped at Panda for lunch because the girls told me they loved their orange chicken and noodles. It was crowded. We all found a place to sit except for James who didn't mind standing. 

After lunch James had to get something at Home Depot for the Peeler job. Instead of waiting in the truck the kids and I all got out and walked down to the nursery part of the store to look at the flowers. I picked out some to buy. I thought they were sunflowers but they turned out to be some kind of daisies. James says they are both in the same family.

When James was finished in Home Depot, he couldn't find everything he needed, we went to Safeway to get a cake and ice cream. Why not Walmart instead? Because I had seen a cake at Safeway the other day and I hoped they would have one today like it that I could get. It was a cake with a red mirror glaze that I thought was pretty. The selection of cakes was down at Safeway today. I finally decided on a strawberry cake. After the decision was made the girls and I left James and Rowan to buy the cake and we went over to pick out ice cream. We ended up with Blue Bell cookies and cream, and rocky road. James got a pint of Ben & Jerry's cherry garcia.

It rained on us all the way home. James was a little sad because of his concrete pour scheduled for Tuesday. 

I listened to Inklings today while I had some time to myself. The girls and I watched three movies: 1.) Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, 2.) The Ugly Dachsund, and 3.) That Darn Cat. James joined us for the last one and ate popcorn with us.

Ruby finished the round puzzle. She and Ruby helped me with the candy jar puzzle. We have already done a donut puzzle and the succulent puzzle.

My friend Tamara came over this afternoon and brought me some gifts. First of all, an original Dick and Jane book, the kind I had in the first grade at Creighton School in Phoenix. 

Tamara said the statue reminded her of me, except

the hair is the wrong color.

James wanted to do everything for me today. He fixed spaghetti for dinner, something he has never cooked before. He was surprised how easy it was. We all sat down together and ate our spaghetti. 

Kim and Brian sent a generous gift today. They are so kind and thoughtful.

It was a Happy Birthday. I got a video of Charlie wishing me a "Happy Birthday." It was so sweet and I loved it!

Hogwarts here she comes!

Ruby is celebrating big time!
