We ask Thee, Holy Father, to establish the people that shall worship, and honorably hold a name and standing in this thy house, to all generations and for eternity;
Happy 56th Anniversary to us! James wrote me a letter and then he fixed me breakfast.
He and Jared Ammon went out to ride the horses and do some outside chores. He started cleaning out the garage and said he would continue to work on it.
Later this afternoon we went to a late lunch at his favorite restaurant, La Casita. James ordered a green chili chicken enchilada and I ordered a chili relleno. I kept remembering the chili rellenos I had at Eva's with the green chili sauce. Yum! When the waitress brought my plate and sat it down before me, saying I was disappointed was an understatement. First of all it was about the third the size of the one at Eva's. Second, there was no sauce. It is the sauce that makes the chili relleno! James kept saying he would trade me but of course I wasn't going to allow that. He was eating one of his most favorite meals. Well, at least I will have room for the cheesecake I planned on buying for dessert. For some reason I think I have to have cheesecake on our anniversary.
We were going to go to Walmart but decided on Safeway instead. James thought they would have better cheesecake.
Safeway had large pieces of New York cheesecake and they also had a turtle cheesecake. The turtle cheesecake was $12.99 and the pieces were $4.99. James thought I wanted the turtle cheesecake and was hesitating because of the cost so he encouraged me to get the turtle cheesecake. I thought he wanted me to get it because he wanted that one, even though I wanted the New York piece because I thought it would be creamier, I chose the turtle. I bought some plastic forks so we could do a taste test before getting home. We also bought a pint of Hagen Daz butter pecan ice cream. When we scanned it checking out James wanted to put it back when he realized it cost over $7. We kept it.
I was disappointed in the turtle cheesecake but loved the ice cream. Go figure. The cheesecake wasn't creamy enough. Now we have a cheesecake that will be taunting me for several days. I should have gotten the one large piece. James felt bad but I told him it wasn't his fault. I made the choice.
James was very sweet the entire day, wanting to do things to please me. He pulled weeds from the flowers in the planter and washed off the car so it won't be dusty tomorrow when we go to church.
When we returned home I was going to make chicken enchiladas for Jared Ammon for dinner. James said he could have the other steak in the frig and I could make the enchiladas on Monday. It didn't take much for him to convince me.
One of my favorite places to be this time of the year is out on the deck outside our bedroom. It is cool, in the shade, and the scenery is beautiful and peaceful. I also like to go out there and walk. James had told me he would watch a movie with me tonight so I walked so I could get my steps before we started. Before the movie James wanted to listen to some chapters from our book. We didn't end up starting the movie until 9:00 p.m.
The movie is a new Andrew Walker Hallmark movie, "For Love and Honey." I love Andrew Walker but this wasn't one of my favorites. It was filmed in Malta and was about bees and ancient archeological finds. A little boring. James said it was relaxing so I suppose it was worthwhile.
