I spent most of the day working on the handouts for my lesson. At the end of the day I had completed 55. After doing some figuring, 40 for Relief Society, 11 for Primary, and 6 for Young Women I realized I needed to make two more. I will do that in the morning. The rest of the day tomorrow will be spent on preparing for my lesson. 

Today is Kathy Crane's birthday. I think she turns 77. I sent her a text and wished her a happy birthday. I have a card for her and some fancy hand soap that I will give her on Sunday. 

I did my blog for Wednesday  but I'm still a day behind. I hate it when that happens, but it's because I've been spending so much time on my lesson.

This morning I sat my plastic container of matches and fire starters on the steps going downstairs. Tom was asleep on his chair under the high table. I did not see him jump down and sneak past the downstairs door when I closed it. Later I asked James if he had let Tom outside and he said no. I knew I hadn't, so I went around the house calling him. No answer. James checked upstairs, he wasn't there. He said, did you close a door recently that he could be behind. I said no initially but then I remembered the downstairs door. I opened it and Tom wasn't there. When I called his name he came running up the stairs. Oh Tom, I am so sorry. I can see how curiosity really could kill a cat.

James got the preliminary plans for Applegate's mansion/home. He showed them to me. The house is huge but I do not care for the outside front view. It just looks more like an office than a home to me. But, what do I know?

Sheri still hasn't received her birthday card. I mailed it at the UPS store on Tuesday, plenty of time for it to have arrived in Chandler. 

James and I watched "The Way Home" this evening. Now we know Cole is a time traveler. Del is having a difficult time with this, especially regarding the disappearance of Jacob as a child.

James went to town today. I mentioned to him I might run out of rubber cement. I was using it to do my handouts. He brought some back for me. He is very thoughtful.
