Of the Seventy

"The building of temples has been one of the highest priorities of all prophets since the Prophet Joseph Smith.

I need more and better sleep. I am a slug in the mornings. It used to be my peppy time. Must do better...I must feel better to do better. I guess I need to make a new schedule. Maybe 4 is too early for me in my old age.

James could hardly speak this morning. He tried some vinegar which did not help. I made him some hot lime juice with honey. He let it cool a little and then drank it down and magically he could speak again. I guess I need to always have limes or lemons on hand.

I spent most of the day in the kitchen and James spent the day working at Barbara's. Something about waterlines and three trips to town. He is not happy. He said he wasted a lot of time. I said solving problems is not a waste of time. I encouraged him and said he was a great problem solver. He said I was his greatest cheerleader. I am glad I could help. 

Here are some of my accomplishments in the kitchen today. 

I made a stew. James said it was delicious but that I made too much. I may have but I bet we eat it all.

I baked a strawberry cake, three layers. The layers did not rise very well so I made some strawberry filling and then frosted the cake with Courtney's strawberry buttercream frosting. 

I worked all afternoon and well into the evening and the kitchen was a mess. James helped me to clean it. I was so grateful. Here is a picture of my cake today. Tomorrow it will look different.

James longing looking at the cake.

He never got a piece so I am going to have

to make another one.

James and I walked this evening and finished our book, "Scotland's Melody". Our new book will be a Jennie Hansen book called, "The Topaz."
