Happy 18th Birthday Rowan!




One of our birthday dates at the Chandler mall for Ro & Josh Evan always came and they came on his birthday date in November.

Kim finished my cake today and it looks beautiful!

 Three Layers of strawberry cake with fresh
strawberries, short cake, and cream cheese
between the layers with strawberry
buttercream frosting.
Delicious!
Kim also made chocolate covered strawberries!

James and Chuck went to Ken Johnson's funeral together. James said it was the best funeral ever. I asked him why and said I had heard him say that before. He said Bishop Hunsaker gave the best talk on the Plan of Salvation. Ken's 13 year old daughter, Lily, sang "Amazing Grace" and did a beautiful job. Ken's wife Ann gave his life history. He especially loved the bishop's talk. Here is a copy of the program.





I got so excited when I saw this song!
When I was about 8 or 9 my "Nannie", my mom's mom.
gave me some sheet music to play on the piano. It was a book
of religious songs she remembers singing in Missouri as
she was growing up. One of them was this song.
It always reminds me of my "Nannie" and how much
I love her. I looked up Anne Murray singing it on
YouTube. She does an amazing job.

Along with the cake Kim made me she gave me the sweetest card,
a box of 20 colored pens, a journal that says on the front: "We Rise by Lifting Other" and a $50 Amazon gift card. Wow! Thank you Kim, you are so very thoughtful! You too Brian!

James did some walking this evening but he is having severe chest pains just like he had 12 years ago before he had his stint put in. If they continue, he is going to call his cardiologist, Dr. Memon.

While James was walking Brian, Kim, and I were watching the latest Hallmark movie, "My Dreams of You." It was a little cheesy but entertaining. Not my favorite but not the worst either.

We left Tom outside longer than usual. When James let him in Tom was pretty upset and meowed at him several times. This cat definitely thinks he's in charge, and he could be right.

Notes & Quotes
"The profound questions of the soul, those that surface in our darkest hours and highest trials, are addressed through the unwavering love of Jesus Christ. In Him, and through the promised blessings of His restored gospel, we find the answers we seek. It is through His infinite Atonement that we are offered a gift beyond measure - one of hope, healing, and the assurance of His constant, enduring presence in our lives. This gift is available to all who reach out with faith, embracing the peace and redemption He so freely offers."
- Elder Jose L. Alonso
