"There is much for us to do in this life, but self-loathing and shameful self-condemnation are not on that list. However misshapen we might feel we are, His arms are not shortened, No. They are always long enough to 'reach our reaching' and embrace each one of us."
The low today was 42 and the high was 65. No more moisture in sight for now. I did pretty well this morning until about 9:00, when I crashed on the family room recliner. My bedroom recliner was taken by Tom who was out all night. I took an hour nap and I am feeling a little better, although my right knee still pops when I bend it. I was going to start a stew but that didn't happen. I went back to sleep for another hour or so.
James called me on his phone from outside where he's been using the Bobcat. He went crazy cutting off branches with his new chainsaw and now he's taking the branches to the burn pile. He called the Vernon Fire Dept. to see if he could burn, and they said no. Even though there is no wind and it's going to be 65 degrees, it's a no burn day. James was upset because he says it's going to be windy the rest of the week and this was what he thought would be the only day he could burn.
James asked if he could help me with anything. I said, yes, he could help me fix lunch. He made a salad and I sauteed mushrooms, onion, and bell peppers to go with our Steakums. This made a good sandwich. I used the brats buns Walmart makes in their bakery and this made them extra delicious!
We cleaned the kitchen together, and then we took naps on the family room recliners.
I called Arizona Arthritis to see if they would prescribe me some prednisone for my bad knees. When I got the call back, Ashley, the messenger girl, said Rana wanted to evaluate me when I came in to see of the pain in my knees was caused by rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. She said I could use Tylenol, along with Tramadol for the pain, and I could get some Volatren cream to rub on my knees.
I must say, I was a little disappointed.
When I woke up from my nap and taking Tylenol and Tramadol, I felt pretty good. I worked at my computer and was going to work on my budget when James came in and asked if I wanted to go with him to Beach's to shoot some shots with the laser. I asked how long it would take to do the actual work and he said, "ten minutes." I asked if we could stop at Dollar General and get a loaf of bread. He said, "of course."
Before reaching the Y we saw a couple of firetrucks and a police care flashing their lights on our side of the road. Someone had started a fire on the side of the road and they, it looked like, had just put it out. James said, look who that is, I looked up and saw Collin DeWitt directing traffic around the trucks. I told James that he was the acting fire chief in Vernon and that's why he was there. I was a little disappointed he didn't have his fireman's hat on.
After turning onto the Stanford Rd. we turned left on 8149 and drove all the way down to the end of the road to Mr. Beach's home at 8172. He was there working. James forgot the level for the laser and also the battery was dead so he didn't get to take any shots. Mr. Beach came over and struck up a conversation with Mr. Beach, whom from now on, we will call Brother Beach. James said he needed to leave because his wife was waiting for him in the car. Brother Beach said he needed to come over and meet me, which he did. We got to talking and he served his mission in Ecuador in 1977-79 and then went back a couple of years ago and served another mission. We told him we had a son who was called to serve in the Guayaquil, Ecuador mission. He was excited and said he would like to meet him sometime. He seemed extremely nice, but I really wasn't groomed for company. I thought we were going out in the middle of nowhere and there would be no one else there. Brother Beach lives in the valley. This is a small vacation home that he is building on 8172.
After stopping at Dollar General I asked James for his change and I put it in the dump budget which is kept in my jewelry box in the bathroom.
It was about an hour later and we were surprised to see the firetrucks still parked in the road and Collin still directing traffic. I seems like the fire chief would delegate this job to someone else, and why so much attention to a fire that is out. I guess they want to make sure.
I guess the person who started the fire didn't know it was a no-burn day.(Haha)
,
I made hotdogs for dinner. Not very nutritious but quite delicious.
James walks while I blog and work on Rowan's letter. Tom is in and out, he can't decide where he wants to be.
and I love it in black and white.
