James and I both felt better today. He went outside to work and I did some things around the house. He loved working outside because the weather was so nice. The high was around 53 and there was no wind.

This was news from Paul today regarding the death of his sister Trish:
The man who murdered Trish got the maximum sentence. Eight years for negligent homicide and disposal of a corpse.
Kim: That maximum sentence doesn't seem like enough, but it is good he at least got that. Hope you are able to find some peace.
Paul: You're right Kim. We were not happy with the plea agreement but the justice system is not perfect but at least today it worked in our favor.

It's time to start decorating for Christmas. I brought up, a couple of pieces at a time, our nativity that goes on the high table. I intend on doing a little bit everyday. 

James took a load to the dump today. He's trying to do some cleanup to help make me happy. When he asked me what I wanted for Christmas I told him I wanted the garage cleaned out. He got a little upset and said that wasn't possible unless we got a storage container. I told him to get one then. We shall see.

I got up very early this morning, starving. I made me some fried potatoes and onions which tasted soo good. The only problem is, it shot my blood sugar up very high. It took me most of the day to get it back down into the normal range. 

After work this evening we drove into town to get teriyaki chow mien bowls for dinner. I ate all of my chicken and saved my noodles for tomorrow. James only ate part of his chicken and noodles and put the rest in the frig. I think the chicken gets stuck in his teeth and is difficult for him to eat. 

We started a new book, actually I think it's one we have read before but we don't remember the story. It's a Sarah Eden book, "Ashes on the Moor." We walked around the high table in front of the big beautiful fire that James built.

Not to be forgotten, I watched  a couple of Christmas movies:
"A 5th Avenue Christmas" - one of my favorites from last year
"Jingle Bell Jubilee" ok
"The Christmas Carnival" ok

I also listened to Brother Halverson as part of my "Come Follow Me" study.


I want this book but they are out of
it on Amazon.
