I got up at 4:08 this morning.  I used my electric blanket last night and I actually think it helped with my joint pain. I got up this morning feeling better. 

We had, according to James, about 100 elk migrate across our property this morning. James just caught the "tail end" of them.



We now look forward to our Tom Time in the morning. He comes in and we scratch his back and his belly and it makes him happy. He brings us happiness too. He usually goes back outside with James when he goes out to feed Luna. 

I have made it a point to find joy in each day. It really is the little things that make a difference. 

Kim & Brian arrived this afternoon before one. We are always so happy to see them. Kim brought her new puzzle that Brian gave her for her birthday. She finished it before she left on Monday. Here is a picture:


I made my garden vegetable soup for dinner. Kim and Brian brought Sonic for their dinner. I told them they were welcome to have some but I don't think they did. 

Kim did some walking around the house and so did James and I. 

This evening we watched two Hallmark movies. When I say we, I mean all four of us. James and I had already seen "Gilded Newport Mysteries" last night but Kim and Brian hadn't seen it so we watched it again. Brian missed most of it because he was in the kitchen cutting up meat for a stew he is fixing tomorrow. Kim is so funny to watch a mystery with. She asks so many questions. She knew I had seen the program before and she wanted me to tell her what I knew but I told her I didn't want to ruin it for her. She made some pretty good guesses and wasn't too surprised at the end.

For the month of February which they are calling Loveuary, Hallmark has several Jane Austen themed movies. Tonight's movie is called, "Paging Mr. Darcy." Will Kemp was Mr. Darcy and Mallory Jansen was the female lead. I love both of them. I liked this movie better than "Gilded Newport Mysteries." Thomas was in the house while we were watching TV and was quite fascinated with it.

Trina texted me this evening to see how we were doing. I told her we were fine and thanked her for checking on us.

Brian cleaned the kitchen after cutting up his stew meat, including doing all of our dishes. Thank you Brian.

Although we have no snow left in Vernon right now Kim says there was lots of snow on the Rim and they stopped and took some pictures.







I think Kim's pictures are Arizona Highway worthy. They are so beautiful.

James is still working on our income taxes. He has to go through all of the credit card statements and the bank statements for both accounts. It is tedious and time consuming.

James and I walked and listened to "Protecting Her Heart." I also listened to "The Girl in the Coppergate Tower."

Tom loves Brian
