We ask thee, Holy Father, to remember those who have been driven by the inhabitants of Jackson county, Missouri, from the lands of their inheritance, and break off, O Lord, this yoke of affliction that has been put upon them.

Today is my friend, Barbara Tignor's 88th birthday. James said T-Bo took her to the temple at her request. Afterwards they stopped at Trapper's in Taylor to get a pie. Last year I made her a carrot cake.

Such a sweet lady!

While I was home alone this afternoon I made chocolate chip cookies using the big milk chocolate chips I had on hand. It was a small batch. I froze them and stuck them in the freezer. They are delicious!

Kim and Brian are coming later this afternoon after Brian finishes with work. They left home at 2:30 and stopped for awhile in Payson. They also got in to quite a rainstorm which slowed them down a bit. 

It was around 6:30 when they arrived. After unloading their car we all went outside on the covered deck outside of our bedroom. It was cool and breezy and felt like it was going to rain. The panoramic view of the sky was gorgeous. The sunset, the rain in the distance and the clouds overhead just waiting to burst with rain. Which they did, right before bed.

Brian said he helped Brent & Rebecca sign some documents this week. He was held up by Brent because he took so long. Kim warned him that Brent likes to talk and never gets in a hurry.

It is nice to have Kim and Brian here although I am sad to know that Kim's eyes are really bothering her. She mentioned listening to podcasts and taking notes and how difficult it is now to take notes because she gets headaches from the eye strain. She has to lie down and rest for awhile.

I finished "To Love the Brooding Baron". James is still reading it.

I started another book I may have read before but if I have, I don't remember and I can't find it written down in my book log. It is called "Secret of the Sonnets" by Samantha Hastings.
