I checked with Kacey and the two boxes we sent to them arrived today. I assume the one I sent to San Antonio did too.
It was supposed to snow today but we got rain and mud instead. T-Bo came over and worked a couple of hours with James before the rain started. James gave him his and Barbara's gingerbread box and he mentioned the pecan Rollo pretzels his daughter makes. Now I wish I had put some in their box.
I wrapped six more blankets today before Kathy came to pick me up to go visit Catherine Halcomb. We were supposed to also visit Janna Grombach but Janna postponed until tomorrow morning saying she would come by my house and asked if Kathy could meet us there.
Catherine is 89 years old and always excited to have company. Kerri had gone to take their great Dane, Shelly to the vet. She is recovering from glaucoma.
Catherine showed us all of her "collections." Here are some pictures I took.
They also have a life-sized Santa

grandchildren's weddings

She also has a collection of pictures of family
members who served missions.
Catherine's house is a fun house to visit. When we got ready to leave she gave each of us a tin of her cranberry candy cake cinnamon type rolls. I gave her the gingerbread house and Kathy gave her a loaf of cinnamon bread. It was raining when we went outside but we managed to stay pretty dry. Kathy and I exchanged gifts when she dropped me off at home.
James and I made a trip in to Show Low for horse feed and then to Firehouse for some dinner. Our plan was to drive to Snowflake and pick something out of the giving machine to donate. Well, we drove to Snowflake with it raining the entire way. We found the machines at the John C. Freeman pioneer home the other side of the big stake center in the middle of town. Neither one of us thought to put on a jacket and it was still raining. I got out my umbrella and we stood under it but we were freezing and the line was long, so we left.
When I got home I checked and we can donate online.
When we got home we each had a cup of hot chocolate and James said he was feeling well so he laid down to take a nap. He was ahead of me on my walking anyway. When he got up he joined me and we listened to "Havencross."

what they are though and he couldn't remember.
