Happy Birthday Anna!
I woke up at 4:01. It worked. Going to bed earlier helped me to get up earlier!
As part of our scripture study today James and I listened to Elder Kevin Pearson's conference talk, "Stay By the Tree." I love this talk so much. I had the feeling to encourage my family to read it but I failed to follow through. If they are following the "Come Follow Me" manual they will see it and read it. I hate to give them too much to do but when I have these feelings I really should follow through.
Did I use the word "follow" too much. Is there a message there?
From Elder Pearson's talk:
1. Don't forget to pray
2. Come unto Christ and be perfected in Him
3. Press forward with faith keeping the commandments. Obedience builds faith.
4. The Book of Mormon and modern day prophets are our spiritual survival guide for the last days.
5. Don't let Satan distract or deceive you.
6. Stay by the Tree because we are converted unto the Lord. Yielding our hearts to God allows the Holy Ghost to change our very nature. We become deeply converted unto the Lord and we no longer seek the spacious building.
I had the task of putting away over a dozen towels upstairs. When I opened the towel closet at the top of the stairs it was so stuffed with things other than towels there wasn't room to stack them neatly. I decided to take the time to clean this closet out so I could stack these towels neatly. Once I was finished I stepped back and looked at those neatly stacked towels and felt good. I even closed and opened the closet several times just so I could look at them. Creating organization can be very rewarding!
James put together the quilt stand I received in the mail. I brought the quilt down that I had on the bed in my office that Lois made and put in on the stand. This is how it looks:
I made BLT's and tomato soup for lunch. James was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes he makes his own lunch. He came in and said he finished the door to the stable. He now needs someone to help him put it on.

My face started to swell on the left side. I took some Benadryl and laid down to take a nap on the recliner. When I got up I went into the bathroom to get ready to go into town to do my weekly grocery shopping and errands, I saw my face in the mirror and lost my desire to be seen in public. I called James and told him I wouldn't be going in to town today. I then asked if we could get Dominoes Pacific veggie pizza for dinner like we had planned. He said we could.
Around 4:30 I ordered our pizza. Instead of ordering thin crust I ordered the handmade crust. The handmade crust was good but we are sure it has way more calories than the thin crust so we determined we would stick with thin crust next time.
This evening we walked around the tall table near the entryway and listened to "The Heir of Brownlie Manor."
I am grateful today I was able to order tickets for Disneyland and receive confirmation of our stay at the Embassy Suites Anaheim Orange. I'm also glad I cleaned out the upstairs towel closet.
