I got up at 6 and I am still "running" to catch up. James is working at Jeff Crane's this morning. He is going to be pouring a concrete pad for his pump house and is preparing the ground. James will be doing all of the work on the pump house.

Harry the Cat was here this morning so I fed 3 cats. James says it's a mistake but how can I ignore a hungry face. The cat doesn't ever stay too long anyway. 

One of my goals today was to clean and organize the deck outside of our bedroom. It is one of my happy places and right now it needs some TLC. I washed the blankets Sammy and Tom sleep on. I spread the biggest on the couch on the deck. Later I went out and took this picture:
I love that Tom is beginning to tolerate
Sammy more. He is being a good 
big brother!

I decided that I needed to start walking again. My goal being about 12,000 steps a day to make up for Sunday and still have 70,000 steps a week. I figured 1,000 steps every hour starting at 6 a.m. and ending at 6 p.m. would do the trick. It's after six in the evening when James usually wants to use my phone.

I worked on our anniversary puzzle all week. It's divided into six sections with letters on the back: A, B, C, D, E, F. I did sections A-E during the week, finishing section E this evening. James came in from work and started doing section F. 

I listened to "Never Doubt I Love" while walking and I finished the book I borrowed from Kim, "The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley."

Today was Autumn's baby shower for baby Benson McKay Child.
It was at Kacey and Jared's and Jared made the Italian cream cake, which sounds delicious and it will be delicious if it's anything like Lois' Italian cream cake.

Today was the last full day at the resort. I think Ben, Cayli, and Evan were there. Sheri and Addy had lunch at one of Sheri's favorite restaurants LeGrand Orange which is located in Phoenix. Sheri loves their pizza which surprises me because growing up she didn't really like pizza.

We got a letter from Terry today regarding affairs between Lois and Dawn. Terry is Mom's power of attorney and there is a bit of a conflict between her and Dawn. Several years ago Mom quit claimed a deed to Dawn for the house. Since then she has found out that Dawn plans on giving the house to LeNae's daughter Heather when she, Dawn, passes away. LeNae has been Dawn's friend for a very long time. She was a member of the Church but left the Church and took Dawn with her. Mom thinks that LeNae and Heather both take advantage of Dawn and she does not want Heather to end up with the house. Now Mom is saying she only gave 30% of the house to Dawn and the other 70% to her other children. Terry said that is not according to the quit claim deed and if she wants that to be so, she will have to re-do her will. Dawn, on the other hand, believes the house was given to her and she is claiming it. David is the executor of the will and I guess he and Terry will have to work things out with Mom before she passes.

I made glazed carrots for dinner. James said they were too sweet. I liked them.
