And that all their salutations may be in the name of the Lord, with holy hands, uplifted to the Most High;

 After breakfast this morning we made a trip to town with the intent of getting a new TV for upstairs and lumber for the stable. I'm not sure what's going on at the stable, I think they are working on a floor.

We all went in to Walmart to pick out a TV. I'm glad Jared Ammon was there. He led us towards an LG TV which we ended up buying. We saw a bigger TV but the brand was an unknown, at least to us. 

The guys hefted the TV into my basket and then left for Home Depot. 

I did a little shopping and went upfront to check out. The girl who checked me out asked me if I wanted the four year protection plan on the TV. I said no, and then afterwards wondered if I should have said yes. I am so undecisive.

I did decide to go to Carl's Jr. and order something so I could sit in one of their booths until the guys came back for me. I got a small order of hashbrowns and a medium drink. While I was waiting for my hashbrowns the guy who took my order started talking to me.

He noticed the LG TV in my basket and said, "LG's are the best, I wouldn't have anything else." He then proceeded to tell me about his experience. I told him if It wasn't for our grandson who was with us we probably would have chosen another brand.  It was a nice interaction and I'm counting it as my missionary experience for today.

 When we got home Jared Ammon installed the TV upstairs and burned the box in the fire pit outside. Jared also stacked all of the kindling firewood outside. It looks great. 

I cleaned upstairs and James cleaned his office, with my help. The upstairs looks very nice and I am tired. I finished in time to take a shower before they came. They got here around 4 p.m. They would have been here sooner but traffic was backed up the other side of Payson. Rowan and Addy didn't come. Addy had to work and Rowan is gone to California with friends. We will miss them but they are at the age where they have become more independent.

The big news of the day is the birth of Tanner's baby. Kacey posted on Facebook and seemed so happy.

The girls were interested in the horses so after James and Jared Ammon rode they led the girls around. They also wanted to see Tom but he was afraid of everyone and went and hid.  

I made melt in your mouth chicken for dinner, rice pilaf, and green beans. Darrel & Trina had orange chicken and chicken nuggets from Costco that tasted alot like Chik-fila so we had plenty to eat for dinner. Afterwards James made a fire in the fire pit and those who wanted them had smores. The weather was a little windy today. I hope it's better tomorrow.
