Researching the word "conversion"

Up at 3:45 but not fully functioning. 

I've stayed at home since my ministering outing with Kathy on Tuesday. Wednesday I missed going to town with James and doing my shopping because I didn't feel up to it. I missed going to the temple on Friday when I cancelled our sealing appointment because I wasn't feeling up to it. Today I missed George Wallace's funeral because I wasn't feeling up to it. I did send two dozen sugar cookies with James.

Kathy Crane said Chuck loved

my cookies. James loves them too,

but he likes them without frosting.

James left for the funeral at 9:30. He and other members of the elders quorum were setting up chairs. When he first arrived the church was still locked. They didn't wait long until Kerri Halcomb showed up with a key. The funeral is at noon.

James got home around 3:00 saying that was the best funeral he had ever been to. I feel that way about most LDS funerals. 

Not only did George raise six children with his wife Ruth, but he raised his two sisters also. They are pictured with George in the upper left hand corner.

James brought me a small Firehouse sub, potato salad and a brownie from the funeral luncheon. The family provided the food and our Relief Society provided the desserts. I gave James my brownie but ate the sub and the potato salad. 

While James was gone Tom followed me from room to room. He started out on a dining room chair, then the recliner in the bedroom, both sides, the bed and the recliner couch in the family room.

Around 5:00 or so someone rang our doorbell. It was Kathy Crane. She knew I wasn't feeling well and brought us some food for dinner. Three mini subs and a substantial amount of tomato basil soup, which was delicious! It will taste good tomorrow after church. How grateful I am that Kathy thought of us.

As James and I were walking and listening to "Tutored in Love" we both agreed that this book is getting quite good. We watched an UpTV movie, "Passport to Love", before going to bed.

Walk, drop and rub
