And if they shall smite this people thou wilt smite them; thou wilt fight for thy people as thou didst in the day of battle, that they may be delivered from the hands of all their enemies.
Apollo is a funny horse. Jared Ammon was putting varnish on the stable. Apollo came up behind him and nudged him. When Jared ignored him Apollo came over and started licking the varnish off the wood. Maybe he needs a salt lick.
Our bedroom is a bit of a mess right now because I am cleaning out my closet. I have so many papers I don't know what to do with. I just want to throw everything away and start over.
I fixed bacon, eggs, and biscuits for breakfast. I had a couple of pieces of bacon and part of a blueberry donut from the box of donuts Kim and Brian brought yesterday.
After cleaning up breakfast dishes I talked to Stacy on the phone. She is in bed with two bulging discs in her lower back. She says she is going to have to have surgery but they don't have any insurance until July. She asked me if I could bring her some "medicine" when I come down tomorrow. I told her I would, plus sunscreen and I ordered her some Tenzi pads.
Around noon I put dinner in the crockpot. I cut up the sirloin steaks I bought and chopped an onion and some bell peppers, put together a sauce and put it all in the crockpot so we will have pepper steak for dinner.
It was overcast today and looked like we might get some rain, but we didn't. Part of the cloudy look could have been from the fires that are burning throughout the state. There is one right now burning near Cibeque called the Bear fire. It is the closest one to us. Right now it has burned 275 acres.
James rented a saw this morning and is working at the Hipps's. While he was in town he picked up my thyroid prescription. He came home with his back really hurting from using the saw.
Our friend Collin DeWitt had an accident today. He was working on the addition to his house and lost his footing on the ladder and fell off the house. At least he landed in a spot where Wendy had cleared out the rocks so his fall wasn't as bad as it could have been. He did break his ankle. They are waiting for the swelling to go down before they do surgery. He will be laid up for about 8 weeks.
Jared Ammon spent quite a bit of time today cleaning upstairs and changing the sheets on the bed that he slept in. He is going home tomorrow with us when we go down to our timeshare.
Zemira Wilhelm got his mission call today. He is going to Newport Beach, California. I guessed New Zealand and James guessed Mexico. His brother Talon wanted him to go to Uganda because that's where he went.
James Facetimed with Charlie today. She found a feather in their yard and she wanted to ask grandpa what kind of feather it was. He took one look at it and said it was a wild turkey feather. It was quite large with a stripe across it. Charlie seemed quite happy when she found out it was a turkey feather.
I read from my new book today called "Flat Deception." James and I are still reading "A Proper Scandal" together.
Kim, Brian and I watched the latest summer romance movie from Hallmark. This one is called, "Savoring Paris" and stars one of our favorites, Bethany Joy Lenz. She was so cute in this movie and we loved most of her outfits. A couple were a little hideous but most were spot on. I love when Kim and Brian are here and we watch a movie together.
