"Abide in Me, and I in You; Therefore Walk with Me"
Sami is coming today. Thank goodness she won't be here until after two which gives me time to clean upstairs. Because of my left arm pain James had told me if I needed help to call him. I told him to make sure his phone was turned on. I did end up calling him and he did come. We put sheets on the bed in Sheri's room and he brought up the vacuum and log duster for me. I worked upstairs for almost two hours. Jared asked me if there were any bees. I said I didn't seen any live ones but I vacuumed up lots of dead ones. Sami can stay in Sheri & Ian's room or Darrel & Trina's. I was ready for a nap.
Sami got a little lost so it was later than planned when she got here, but it was still before 3. She brought her own food and lots of it. She also made us cookies, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip. How thoughtful. She seems very nice. She lives in Queen Creek and has lived there all of her life. Her dad works at home and has some health issues which Sami helps with. Her mother homeschooled her, her brother and sister when they were young. She took swimming in high school but says she isn't very athletic. She eats like Jared, mostly protein or keto. One other thing about Sami. She has a sister who is an artist and lives in Italy even though she is having problems with her Visa. Sami has been to Italy to visit her.
Jared Ammon asked grampa if he could take Sami to Green's Peak in his truck. Of course James said yes. The Razr is down with two missing back tires. James has has new ones ordered but they aren't here yet.
Both Jared and Sami were a little disappointed because they didn't see any wildlife. Sami loves animals just as Jared does.
I made chicken and stuffing casserole for dinner using the rotissere chicken I bought. I had picking the meat off the chicken carcass but it is so delicious. Sami helped me make a salad and we also had cranberry sauce.
After dinner Sami helped me with the dishes as did James and Jared Ammon before they left to go look for elk. I finished cleaning the kitchen, did some walking and worked on my puzzle. It seemed like they were gone for a long time when I got a call from James. They had a flat tire and they were changing it. He was impressed with Sami because she wanted to help change it so she could learn how.
Sami said she was hungry when she returned and asked me if she could cook some eggs making sure I knew that she brought her own. James says she cooked six eggs and ate them.
I asked Sami how she and Jared met. She said they both worked as bar tenders at the Ostrich. The Ostrich is next to the San Marcos hotel where James and I stay in December. It is in a basement and is a very old building. Sami said she was quite ill when working there and had to quit because of the mold. She said a cockroach once fell onto someone's plate. Yikes!
James asked Sami if it was all right with her if we offered a blessing on the food before eating. She said, of course. She has a strong belief in God, she studies from the Bible in the mornings and goes to a non-denomination church near her home.
While we walked before going to bed Jared Ammon and Sami built a fire in the firepit outside and sat and talked.
I am grateful for James today. He not only helped me upstairs but he finished cleaning the patio, took Dawn's birthday card to the post office and took me to Dollar General to get some mayonnaise.
What a guy!
Happy 28th Anniversary
Kim & Brian!
