'Days Never To Be Forgotten'
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
"'Men and women are, that they might have joy.' Heavenly Father has provided the plan of happiness that enables joy through His blessings. These include living in His presence eternally as families. The Atonement of Jesus Christ is central to God's plan to redeem us. To receive eternal life, we must come unto Christ. As we do so 'and help others do the same, we participate in God's work of salvation and exaltation.'"
Happy Birthday James! I started off by writing a love note in the card I got for him. He said it was the nicest one he has ever gotten.
The next thing I did was go in and make authentic 'copycat' Harvest Nut 'n' Grain pancakes from IHOP. They were delicious but took awhile to make. James cut up his leftover prime rib and cooked it was a fried egg for the protein part of his breakfast.
There is something I forgot to get yesterday for James's birthday. He always wants an Eagle Brand pie and I forgot to get the ingredients. I guess we can stop by the Taylor Walmart after the temple tomorrow.
James got lots of cards, texts, and even phone calls today from family and friends. I know it helped him to have a happy day.
I made some Brioche French Toast today and put it in the frig to soak. I will bake it this evening before going to Bunco. I also cut up some fresh strawberries and bought some whipped cream. I finally came up with a gift idea for Bunco. I'm giving away the jigsaw puzzle I got from the White Elephant Christmas game. I also put in the lotion and handsoap I got from Teresa Hein for Christmas and some duster house shoes. Stefani Hunsaker got my gift.
I was going to go into town today but I ran out of time and out of steam. Sheri deposited the $9,050.00 check we got from The Landings job that they never sent. Armando picked it up and took it to Sheri.
James had an Elders Quorum Presidency meeting this evening and I had Bunco. Dallin, Sammi, and Jared Ammon came up this evening, getting here just before I got back from Bunco.
Bunco was held at Patsy Tedder's and she announced this would be here last game with us. She did say she would be a substitute. I think I'm the oldest player now. It was pajama night and we all brought breakfast foods. Candied turkey bacon from Lynda Finnell, Pancakes from Donna and Michelle Beckham, eggs bites from Janna Grombach, green chili and cheese grits from Tina Allen, a delicious breakfast casserole made by Amy Reynolds. Patsy provided the drinks and I brought my French toast. I'm not sure what Becky or Lynn brought.
Lynn had her arm all bandaged up. When I asked what happen she said she got cut by a chain saw while helping her husband cut down limbs. She had to have one surgery and will probably need another. She didn't lose any fingers, thank goodness.
I saw something on the way to Bunco I have never seen before. Oh how I wish I could have gotten a picture! There were 20-30 antelope in the field on the side that borders 3144 where the water supply is. Someone was filling up the water barrels and the antelope were standing in about five lines at attention. They looked like soldiers. If I hadn't seen it I might not believe it!
and Alicia bought the cutest little cups at
Dollar Tree and filled them with yogurt,
granola, and fruit.
