O hear, O hear, O hear us, O Lord! And answer these petitions, and accept the dedication of this house unto thee, the work of our hands, which we have built unto thy name;

I feel better today. James was happy when the horses showed up this morning. They were gone all night, to who knows where. I am bothered by the fact they can come and go as they please and I will be grateful when James gets the new fence up.

 Sheri happened to talk to Cathi and ask her how Dawn and grandmother were doing. Cathi said Dawn was having difficulty with her memory so she went to a neurologist. The neurologist said the right side of her brain was shrinking. This may be caused by an illness for which they have no available treatment. I was shocked and in disbelief. 

I had an appointment at Goodman Dentistry here in Vernon. Our good friend Pierce is the dentist and his wife Susan is his assistant. Susan also says she is now my ministering sister along with Stefani Hunsaker. She is replacing Donna Peeler. She asked me how I like to be ministered to. Do I like home visits. I told her yes, I do.

I have some good news and some bad news regarding my teeth. The bad news is I have 8 cavities. Since I haven't been to the dentist since before Pierce and Susan left for their mission to Tongo, that's not too bad. The good news is: Pierce is going to do a combination of 13 veneers or crowns my front teeth for 1/4 of the normal cost. Normally a crown or veneer is $1,200. He is charging me $300. It's going to cost me $3900!  I am so excited. James wasn't as excited as I was but he still wants me to do it.

 Pierce worked on three fillings in one tooth today. One cavity was so deep it almost went past the gum line. I was there for three hours. It's hard to keep your mouth open that long!

When James came to pick me up, we drove in to town and had lunch at LaCasita. We ordered enchiladas with green sauce. I had rice and beans on the side and James had beans. 

After lunch James went to Home Depot and I went to Walmart. We really should buy stock in these two companies. James bought 14 bags of concrete and then came and picked me up at Walmart.

Back at home I took a nap with Tom and then worked on my blog. 
DWTS cast reveal was today. I only recognized one celebrity, Tori Spelling. 

We had salad and corn for dinner with Jared and Rebecca. They had an earlier dinner at The House in Show Low. Rebecca is a vegetarian and they have a veggie sandwich at The House. They also have a big side yard where you can sit and eat outside. They took Benny with them so the yard was perfect for them. 

Rebecca rode Luna this morning. Well, she got on her and Jared led her around. She has boots and James bought her a cowboy hat to go with them. It is a nice one. I should have taken a picture. I am sad I didn't get any pictures while they were here and wasn't up when they left on Friday and they forgot to take a selfie for me.

Rebecca is 23 years old. Jared is 32. They are just friends. Rebecca is originally from Los Angeles, now she lives in downtown Phoenix around Central and McDowell near the Phoenix library and the light rail. I remember going to that library when I was a kid living in Phoenix. 

Rebecca is Jared's boss and the only girl who works at Taco Boy. Her parents live in Buckeye now. She has five sisters, three of them are adopted. Her grandparents live in Cottonwood so she has been to Sedona several times. Jared took her on the Green's Peak road in James's truck since the Razr is still in the shop. She says she has never been any place like this before. They saw deer, antelope and elk, her first time. She said it was so peaceful and quiet here. She called it magical and said she didn't want to go home. We told her she could come back any time she wanted to.

Notes & Quotes
"My dear friends, if there is one thing we could possess - and one thing we could pass on to our children and grandchildren that would help each in the tests and trials ahead - it would be confidence in the covenants made through Jesus Christ. Obtaining such a divine possession will help them live as the Lord promised His faithful followers: "My disciples shall stand in holy places, and shall not be moved."
