'Ye Are My Friends'

" One of the promised blessings of 'becoming one' is a powerful sense of belonging. Elder Quentin L. Cook taught that 'the essence of truly belonging is to be one with Christ.'"
I woke up at 5:20 with clarity of thought on how the first two hours of my morning should proceed. I believe this personal revelation was directly related to my attending the temple yesterday.
Pierce Goodman is in charge of a service project for a sister in our ward, Amy Bowen, today. The roof on Amy's small home leaks. We have had no moisture but since we are praying for it, she needs to be prepared. Pierce is a ward missionary and was assigned this task. James called him to see if he was needed. He is still not supposed to be doing strenuous activity and climbing on a roof is not something he should be doing right now. The reason James called Pierce was to make sure he had enough help. Pierce said he needed six people, and nine showed up. Our ward members are so good at giving service.
James worked on another bid for the Landings. This time we made the scanner work on my computer!
Before getting ready to go to town to mail nearly a month late Christmas packages to Texas, I had to have a nap. I'm a napper, not a rapper, unless of course you are referring to a Christmas gift wrapper.
Our kind and gracious neighbor, Chuck Crane took our trash to the dump. He and Kathy are the best neighbors! James invited Chuck and Kathy to go to dinner for Chuck and James's birthdays. Chuck's is January 22nd, and James's is January 23rd. More details to come later.
At 12:30 we left for town. James had to go with me because I couldn't lift the two boxes full of blankets. Our first stop in town was at Circle K for gas, then the UPS store to mail our packages and return some green notebooks. The cost of shipping two packages: $105.98. Maybe next year I will have to do gift cards.
James went to Lowe's to look for lightbulbs but they didn't have what we needed. I told him we needed to order them on Amazon.
Meanwhile I ran in to Kerri and Catherine Halcomb while I was shopping at Walmart. Catherine was buying cold and cough medicine and had made an appointment at the beauty shop to get a permanent. She seemed a little out of sorts. Before I left I told her I hoped I would see her at church tomorrow. She said only if she doesn't have a cough.
After leaving Walmart I told James I had seen an ad at the Arby's in Snowflake that they had four roast beef sandwiches for $10. That's $2.50 a piece, and the regular price is $5.79. We drove to Arby's and placed our order for the four sandwiches and then James added a fish sandwich to the order. He wanted to compare it to Culver's. He said it was good but not as good as Culver's. It was cheaper though.
Back at home I took another nap and James took a nap also. I blogged December 22nd, the family party. James did some walking and then he watched the latest Hallmark movie about Antarctica, "Polar Opposites", with me. Tom sat on my lap and just stared at me. I guess he loves me. It was so cute.
Two cuties having fun:
Scarlett & Charlie
Ice skating( I think Autumn said it was
actually plastic), and other fun
Oh, to be young again!
