I let Tom out around 3 a.m. and then had a difficult time going back to sleep. I wish he would wait just a couple of more hours and then it would be time for me to get up. 

I saw this today on social media and it just reminded me what an awesome person Ardeth G. Kapp was and what a privilege it was for me to get to meet her and to spend several days with her while we toured England. It is one of the highlights of my life.









I am grateful my girls were in Young Women's during the presidency of Sister Kapp. We have fond memories of her. We also got to see and hear her counselor, Sister Patricia Holland, speak when she came to Mesa.

 I ordered what is called a "nokbox" today. Nok stand for next of kin. The box is an organizational system designed to give your next of kin when you die. It holds all of the documents they will need to finalize you estate. It's something I need to get me going on this important business.

I also typed a proposal for James. He was having difficulty doing it on his computer. 

Tom and I had a moment today. He climbed up on me and got his face close to mine. We connected for a few seconds and then he was gone. This is how Tom is. One minute he's up close and personal and the next he's gone to the next thing. 

James got sick to his stomach today after eating dinner. He fixed us some asparagus that he cooked in olive oil that he thinks may have been rancid, although I ate it and I am fine. He also had chili for dinner and he thinks maybe that was it. He really doesn't know but he had stomach cramps and went to bed for awhile. 

Jared & Kacey want to help Stacy & Paul. I am so grateful for my righteous children!









Crazy hair day for Scarlett
