I got up at 4:00 and stayed busy all day long. No matter what time I get up, I have gotten into the habit of praying first, which I did this morning.
James left early for the Crane's. Brother Chris Pronger and Brother Collin DeWitt are coming to help frame.
I am sitting at my des, the window is open and a cool breeze is causing to sigh with joy. Corny, I know, but it's true.
James heard cats fighting early this morning. Sure enough, Harry is back and Sammy is hiding under the couch.
While walking today I listened to "Grace Works" by Brother Robert Millett. I finished listening to "The Peacegiver." The story of Abigail is 1 Samuel 25 is my favorite scripture story.
Although Darrel & Trina's family are at the Case beach vacation in California, Rowan still answered the scripture question. I was impressed.
James and I attended a Primary activity this morning which started at 10 a.m. He was working at Crane's and he and Collin said they would come, that they would just be a little late.
There are several activities that the children take turns rotating to. The Primary leaders asked for help from grandparents in the ward and that is why we are here. Lynn Wallace, the Primary secretary, asked us all to bring a younger picture of ourselves. I brought our wedding picture because it was last minute and I didn't want to get out all of the old photo albums. Before starting the activities a picture of a younger leader or grandparent was flashed on the TV screen and we had to guess who it was. Once it was established who the person was, they told what they liked to do as a kid. Leaders and grandparents who attended: Bob & Kristine Hipps, (Bob had a post-it stuck to his forehead that said, 'Captain Awesome'), Shanna Penrod, Bonnie M. (nannie for the Jensen boys), Steven Rosen, Lynn Wallace, Janette Jameson, Sister Gassaway, Sister Putz, Teresa Smith,Sandra Wilhelm, Brother Bowen, Stefani Hunsaker, Collin DeWitt (for a short time), and James and I. James and Collin missed the pictures and kid stories.
My favorite picture was of Steven Rosen who is now totally blonde. In his photo he had a head full of long, dark, curly, should link locks. It looked like he had a woman's wig on.
When it was my turn to tell about what I liked as a kid this is what I said: I lived in Phoenix when I was young on a dead end street near a ditch bank with lots of cottonwood trees. Sometimes the cottonwood trees blew white balls that looked like cotton. Other times caterpillars would come crawling off of them and would swarm our road. The entire neighborhood would get together on Friday nights and would play hide & go seek or cops and robbers. I then turned to Collin and said, "And brother DeWitt lived on the same street, but he was in the newer block on the other side of a crossroad. He never played with us. A few minutes later Collin got up and left. I hope I didn't offend him.
Sandra Wilhelm and I were stationed at the rock painting table, the most fun activity. She grew up in Eagar and her favorite holiday is the 4th of July. Once the kids got their paint and their rocks they didn't need much help with the activity. Sandra and I decided we wanted to paint a rock. I came up with the idea to do a flag. I think hers turn out better than mine but I didn't get a picture of hers so you can't compare. Here is mine:
Here are some pictures of some of the other activities:
who are visiting from Texas. Stefani is a twin too.
When James and I returned home we had some lunch and then both of us took naps. Tom is still asleep.
I started cleaning upstairs in preparation for Stacy, Paul and Joshua's visit on Monday. The sheets do not need to be changed on any of the beds. I do need to vacuum, dust, and clean bathrooms. I got a good start and will finish Monday morning.
James and I made a trip to town this afternoon. We went to the dump, mailed Max's birthday card, and James got some gas for his Cat. When we got home he went back to work at the Crane's.
I blog, walk, and clean out two ice chests. Tom was inside all day long.
Evan and I answered the BM question today.
