"Ben explained: 'Clarity came to my soul as God taught me through His Holy Spirit,. I awoke at 4:00 am. and was filled with indescribable peace and joy. How is this possible? ... The passing of Trey is so very painful, and I miss him so much. But the Lord does not leave us comfortless....I look forward to a joyful reunion.'"

For the first time in quite sometime, the water in the horses trough was not frozen. James was excited! Yesterday he chopped and carried wood for three hours and because of that, his back is very sore and he didn't feel like chopping icy water.

As we were going on our errands I noticed there were several cars at the church and then I remembered that the RS is having a gardening class this morning.

James and I went to the dump and town around 11:00 this morning. We had two bags of garbage and two heaters to take to the dump. James went to get Chuck's garbage and there were six bags. Chuck takes Jeff's family's garbage to. It cost us $8. The Cranes have taken our garbage for the past 2-3 weeks so we are fine. After the dump we went on to town. Yes, we are in the truck.

My knees are really swollen and stiff today making it difficult to walk. Along with my Tramadol I took some 8 hour time release Tylenol. 

I have to backtrack a little and tell what happened when we were leaving the house. I got in the truck and we started to drive away. I said to James: "I forgot my phone, could you go get it for me, I think it's in the bathroom." James took about five minutes or so to back up to the front door. He went in the house and a few minutes later, came back outside. When he got back in the truck I asked him where my phone was, he said, "Oh that's what I went back in for", and left again. While he was in the house the second time, I checked in my back pants pocket and lo and behold, there was my phone. I called and told James. I'm not sure which one of us is the most forgetful.

Our first stop in town was at the UPS store where James went in and returned the extra clock that was sent to us. Next he dropped me off at Walmart where I was immediately asked by a cute little Girl Scout if I wanted to buy some cookies. I bought some Thin Mints and Lemon cookies. Later, when James came to pick me up he bought some Brownie Bites, not knowing that I had already bought two packages of cookies.

One of the reasons we came to town was to buy a new space heater for our bedroom. James said he couldn't find one at Home Depot so I bought one at Walmart that cost $45. James did buy a new toilet seat for our bathroom toilet and installed it as soon as we got home. Thank you honey.

We love the new heater. It puts out a good amount of heat and it makes absolutely no noise. James and I both laid down to take naps. He was on the bed, I was on the recliner with Tom, the cat. James's nap was short, and mine was long. 

This evening James worked on revising our will. He asked me to help and I said when he was finished I would type it and we could discuss it then. I blogged yesterday...I can't believe I am actually caught up!

I watched the newest Hallmark "Loveuary" movie starring Lacey Chabert, "The Unexpected Valentine."

I love my sleeping kitty

Our new heater!

Good job!


It's Adrienne's birthday too, in the white
t-shirt and tan shorts.

Watched them everyday as a kid.
