One of today's tender mercies is when I called and spoke with JoNell at Thompson, Montgomery, DeRose law firm in Globe. This is the law firm that handled Mary Johnson's "Downwind" case where she received $50,000 tax free. JoNell said that not only Globe and Snowflake, but New Mexico has opened up regarding Agent Orange dumping. If James lived in New Mexico between 1944 - 1962 for only one year, he would qualify. He lived in New Mexico several years in that time frame. JoNell said she would need a report card or some kind of school record to verify, and his pathology reports regarding his cancer. Prostate cancer doesn't qualify but James also had colon and rectal cancer. JoNell said this to me: "There is a good chance of you getting $100,000 tax free." Wow!
I did errands in town today while James waited for Mike the repairman to bring the part for the refrigerator. Now our dryer isn't working so he is also going to fix it.
The first thing I did in town was visit the UPS store. I mailed Charlie's birthday package and returned the battery James bought for his chainsaw that wasn't the right size. After getting the refund, James will order a new one.
The repairman cost us $287.00 and he's not sure the part in the refrigerator is going to fix it. It didn't. We decide we are going to have to order a new one. The dryer is fixed though.
At Walmart I looked for Oreos. I promised the buys, Rowan, Evan, and Joshua if they would answer the scripture question one day I would buy them all their favorite Oreos. They all answered the question. I guess bribery works. I also promised Addy apple pie ala mode Oreos and Sheri the blueberry ones. Here are the ones I found and bought today: Oreo regulars for Rowan, Oreo thins for Evan, Oreo mint flavored, Selena Gomez Oreos, Halloween orange (regular flavored) ones, and apple pie ala mode. They did not have any blueberry.
I also had to buy a new ironing board because James broke the old one when he was "working" on the dryer. Now I have a new board to go with my new iron.
On the way home I stopped at Dollar Tree and got cards for the month of September. I got a sympathy card for Kim, Brian, and Joe, and one for the Peralta's and Mack's who lost their son and brother. I got birthday cards for: Darrel, Tamara Applegate, Chelsea MacArthur, Kacey, Denise Maxwell, Dawn, and Lois. I also got an anniversary card for Kim & Brian. There was a birthday card with a pink flamingo on it and although I already had a card for Addy I couldn't resist getting her the flamingo one. She hates them so Sheri and I tease her about them.
I went to Circle K for gas and went inside looking for blueberry Oreos. I couldn't find a cookie in the place. Lots of other garbage, but no cookies. I decided to go to Safeway and check there. No blueberry cookies but I saw my friends Cheryl Sedig and Teresa Hein which was a treat. I also went to the Maverick station but like Circle K, no cookies.
I stopped and got the mail and noticed a letter from Chase bank. They say we are late on the payment for our business line of credit. They automatically take it out of James's account but they have been taking it out on the 12th and it's due on the 5th. I spoke with someone named Christian and he told me what I needed to do. He also combined out accounts so now I only have one sign on. I am so happy about that! I either need to set up autopay for the line of credit or remember to pay it by the 5th.
I got a box from Amazon. James got his cot mattress to put on the bed. We still have one more coming which will make 3 in all. I also got the book I ordered for our marriage class, "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus." I was so excited to receive this book that I read the introduction. I think it's going to be good.
I got my 10,000 steps. We had green beans and chili cheddar dogs for dinner. The dogs were our beddar cheddar turkey links.
I vacuumed the living room and family room while walking, I blogged August 12th, and responded to the scripture question of the day to Adam, Max, Rowan, Evan, and Joshua.
Charlie shared her miniature (3") Christus at school today during show and tell because it is so special to her. She came home sad because she said the kids didn't even care about it. This broke my heart. Because of Charlie I ordered my own 3" Christus.
We are leaving for the valley in the morning around 9 a.m. Joshua is being ordained an elder in the Melchizedek priesthood on Sunday and James has a business meeting tomorrow afternoon.
"The reason behind our actions relates to our love for the Savior and our Heavenly Father."

D&C 90:11
For it shall come to pass in that day, that every man shall hear the fulness of the gospel in his own tongue, and in his own language, through those who are ordained unto this power, by the administration of the Comforter, shed forth upon them for the revelation of Jesus Christ.
No sunflowers in the fields this year,
only beside the highway.
These are from years past.
