"Despite the challenges we all face, our loving Heavenly Father has designed the plan of happiness such that we are not destined to fail."
Up at 5:15. This morning as I was walking through the family room I saw Tom sunbathing on the picnic table outside. I thought I got a picture but I cannot find it. If I do find it, I will post it later.
I finished all four seasons of the BYUTV series, "Ruby and the Well." Good show for young people.
Today was a beautiful, sunny 65 degree day. James made a trip in to town to get materials and trees for our grass patch project. He came back with four of the cutest mini cone-shaped trees. Two for the grass patch and two for the backyard.
I am still feeling great with lots of energy because of the Prednisone that I have been on. I washed all of the sheets upstairs that had been slept on. I cleaned the hall bathroom upstairs and was so embarrassed about how disgusting the toilet was. I apologized to Addy and she said: "Don't worry grandma, we didn't even go in there. I hope not!
I texted Chelsea MacArthur today and asked how she was doing. Here is what she said:
Hi Karen, sorry I'm so late to text you back, I didn't have my phone much today.
My blood work has just been off and I have a few symptoms still but I'm learning how to handle it so I think it will just take time. They originally thought it was MS but from my tests it's not that, so that's good. I'm just taking it a day at a time, but I'm fine.
How are you guys? Is there anything we can do for you?
Me: Chelsea, I am so glad you don't have MS. What a relief! What can we do to help you? Do you know about the Vernon Halloween party this Saturday? Michelle Teserak is in charge and does an awesome job!
Chelsea: Thank you. We're good right now and the kids have been sick so we have just been laying low.
Yes, we will be at the trunk or treat. Is there a party with it too? Glad she's in charger. She is good at that.
I sent her a Halloween flyer about the party.
I texted Michelle Teserak and arranged for her son Resten to wash all of the windows at our house this Friday morning. Somehow October got away from us. It's a good thing I texted because Michelle was planning on the next weekend which would have been the day of the wedding.
I also got a text from Kim today. Brian is bringing her up this coming Sunday. She is coming early because she is making the cake, 90 cupcakes, brownies and cookies for the family dinner and the reception in Chandler on the 2nd. She wanted to make sure the refrigerator in the garage would be cleaned out because she said she would need to put the cake and the cupcakes in it. I told her it would be.
I made a shopping list and a long to do list today. I need to do something everyday to get ready for company.
I made stirfry with left over pork chop meat sliced thinly for dinner. It was very good.
I hope the weather the day of the wedding is like the weather was today.
I read from President Nelson's book The Heart of the Matter. I am on chapter 5, "Reject the Plague of Contention." President Nelsons says that one of the easiest ways to identify a true follower of Jesus Christ is by how compassionately that person treats others.
Also started listening to the book, "Across the Star-Kissed Sea."
We voted and mailed in our ballots today.
