'Days Never to Be Forgotten'
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
"This statement from a New York Times article represents the spirit of much of the international coverage: 'In a United States presidential election cycle that has prompted soul-searching about aging and leadership, Mr. Nelson's milestone suggests that, at least in his church, a triple-digit birthday does not merit much hand-wringing. He remains a popular figure among church members, who view their president not just as an executive but as a 'prophet, seer, and revelator.'"
I have 40 gifts to wrap and three weeks of a blog to catch up on.
The high today, for the first day of winter, in Vernon, Arizona was 61 degrees. Where is winter and where is the snow? Did we get it all in one day on November 4th?
I worked on my blog this morning and then began wrapping gifts in the wrapping station I set up in our bedroom. I wrapped and watched Christmas movies, one of my Christmas traditions. Kim texted me and reminded me I had the Taylor Lautner poster for the white elephant game we are playing tomorrow night at the family Christmas party. I totally would have forgotten. I'm supposed to wrap it with a real gift, which I did, an ASU hat. For our other gift for the game I wrapped the birdhouse puzzle I bought at Sam's Club and was going to give to Kim for her birthday.
Here are the other gifts I wrapped today: A red and black plaid blanket to give to Virgil Cooper, a pink blanket for Catherine Halcomb, and a Indian design blue blanket for Kerri Halcomb. I already wrapped three blankets for the MacArthur kids, a turquoise one for Peyton, pink for Scotlyn, and a Spiderman one for Boone. He loves Spiderman. I also wrapped a Savior calendar for Chelsea & Jarred.
James and I made a trip to town this afternoon. I needed to buy some chicken for the Christmas dinner Alayna and Joshua are going to make. I bought other needed items to the tune of $170.87. We did not get any fast food, we went home and ate TV dinners.
I wrapped only two more gifts, without bows, before going to bed, Paul & Stacy's.
I talked a lot to Tom today who was in the house most of the day. I am going to miss him while we are gone to the valley for Christmas.
I finished my blog through November 1st and this evening I cut James's hair in preparation for the Sabbath.
