Up at 5:05...barely. 

Today is Palmer's 31st birthday. 

Happy Birthday Palmer!

Autumn's gift is coming about 10 days late, a baby boy born on the 21st of July. His name will be Benson McKay Child.

Patrick Mahomes donated $15 million for flood relief victims in Texas. Dolly Parton paid for all of the funerals. Their are some kind and generous rich people in this country.

Dennis says he lives close to Lewis Antiques in Linden and he got me Lamell Lewis's phone number. He knows Lamell's daughter Robin Lewis.

I went out on the deck this morning to visit the kitties. It's like the killing fields, a dead lizard and two dead birds. Why don't they eat what they kill? James says it's because I feed them too much. Who knows, I call it the Circle of Life...or in the case of the lizard and the birds, the circle of death.

I began cleaning out my top left hand desk drawer on my desk in the bedroom. Yike! Who knew it would be such a heavy task. I am so happy with the results though, so I guess it was worth it. 

James came home for lunch and a rest with Tom. He was going to leave for town to get horse feed when I reminded him about ordering an engine for the Razr. It was 1:40 and he goes back to work at Crane's at 4. He sat down, punching buttons on his phone for awhile and then he said he wasn't going to order it because of some kind of core charge of $1,200. I put my head down and said: "What choice do we have, we can't afford a new one and we said we would fix this one." He got back on the phone and a few minutes later he said it was ordered. Hip, Hip, Hurray! Finally! Erik will put it in for us when he gets back in school.

James then left to pick up horse feed and the two dresses I ordered from Amazon at the post office. Both dresses are medium. I can get them on, but they don't look good on me. I don't like the fabric on one of them, it is different than it showed online so I am sending it back. The other one is solid purple and will be perfect for when the weather cools down a bit and I have lost more weight. 

I blogged and finished planting my flowers this evening. James said I could have $300 for my birthday. I ordered a corn hole game, a first aid kit, a yoke, and saved the rest to go thrift shopping to look for a chair to go at the end of our dining room table. 

James is so tired but I gave him a haircut before he went to bed. We are going to the valley tomorrow and he is looking a little shaggy.

"Discipleship is a deliberate journey that we take to become transformed through the Lord's atoning sacrifice and His enabling power."

- Elder Michael B. Strong, AGC 2025

D&C 76:22

And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of Him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of Him, that He lives!

James says these are grass seeds.

I call them minions and the bane

of my existence.
