Jacob 2:18-19

But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God. And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches, if ye seek them; and ye will seek them for the intent to do good - to clothe the naked, and to feed the hungry, and to liberate the captive, and administer relief to the sick and the afflicted.

Come Follow Me

"The Power of Jesus Christ in Our Lives Every Day" by Elder Joaquin E. Costa

I was up at 5:24 this morning. My face was swollen on the left side when I got up. I guess those four aspirins I took on Monday evening are rearing there ugly heads. Soon I had swelling on the right side too.

 Sheri is coming today. It was so windy this morning that James and Jared Ammon couldn't work.

James helped me clean upstairs. He vacuumed up dead bees while I made beds and dusted. I was just finishing up cleaning Darrel & Trina's bathroom when Max walked upstairs. Sheri and the boys have arrived. In spite of my swollen face I gave everyone a hug. I'm so glad they came.

Sheri's car was shaking and she wants to get her tires balanced and rotated at Discount Tire. She wanted me to follow her into town to pick her up. James told her she needed an appointment but she didn't think she did. As soon as I pulled up into the Discount parking lot Sheri was waiting for me. She said there was a four hour wait today so she made an appointment for tomorrow at 4:45. She was going to go shopping at Walmart and asked if I wanted to come. My face is swollen so I said no. My trip was really for nothing.

Sheri brought Little Caesar's Pizza back with her. Three pizzas and breadsticks. 

The boys really like the cats.

Sheri made chicken tenders for dinner and I made a chicken and stuffing casserole which is one of Jared Ammon's favorite meals. Sheri liked it too and so did James. I would have liked it except for the paprika. This is the third recipe I have tried and there is something I like about each one. Maybe I will combine what I like and make up my own recipe. 

Sheri also made corn muffins which were a big hit with James. He had three with butter and honey. Funny, when I make cornbread he doesn't eat it. Instead of making cornbread I am going to make corn muffins from now on.

Sheri helped me with my cereal puzzle. She can create order from chaos and is a very good puzzle doer. 

Sheri and I went in the bedroom and watched Mystery Island. I fell in and out of sleep and so did Sheri. When it was over I asked Sheri if she like it. She said, "Yea, it was great." I knew she hadn't see most of it. She didn't know who was the murderer. She admitted to this and said she needed to watch it again.
