Up @ 3:13.
No more rain, sunny but windy.
James feels so much better this morning. The cortisone shot in his finger is really helping.
I made hazelnut bars this morning on a cookie sheet. I doubled the recipe. They are easy to make but it takes forever to roll out the dough on the bottom and the top of the Nutella. I baked them a little too long but James liked them that way, he said they weren't "doughy."
I cleaned the kitchen, the hall bathroom and dusted the family room. I mopped the floors in preparation for my friends coming to watch a movie with me.
Pat, Janna, and Catherine got here a little before 10 a.m. to watch the movie, "Villa Amore." I am grateful to Janna and Pat for picking up Catherine.
I tried to watch the movie on Hallmark Plus because I was trying to avoid commercials but it kept buffering so I changed over to the recording on Dish. I had to fast forward commercials.
James made a fire and Catherine brought me a journal because she knows I am always taking notes. On the front it says: "Think positive, Feel positive, Live positive. Thank you Catherine, that was very thoughtful of you. Thank you James for building a fire and helping us feel cozy.
Catherine didn't want a blanket and did not want to recline even when she fell asleep and Janna reclined her a little.
I am so glad that Pat felt comfortable enough to bring her oxygen.
Pat and Janna really liked the movie. Catherine didn't say much about the movie. She did look around and said, "how do you keep this place clean?"
After we said our goodbyes I remembered that I had made hazelnut bars to share and forgot to share them. We said our goodbyes around 11:30.
Janna and Pat picked Catherine up and took her home so Kerri would have time to clean Catherine's bathroom. Kerri said her mother would not allow her to do it if she was at home and thanked me for inviting her to the movie.
At noon today there was a news broadcast about the re-organization of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. James and I watched it together.
Elder Gary E. Stevenson conducted the meeting and accidentally called President Oaks, Dallas H. Oaks. No one mentioned it online that I could see. I would have missed it if Stacy hadn't pointed it out.
Our new First Presidency:
I was pretty confident that President Oaks would choose President Eyring as one of his counselors because of the close bond they have formed working together in the First Presidency under the direction of President Nelson. I love President Christofferson but was not expecting him to be called. I thought of Elder Bednar or Elder Uchtdorf. I am sure President Christofferson will do an outstanding job.
James has sanded one of the two railings he got from Cope. It looks pretty good although the spindles are a little small. James will use it on the end of the deck but first has to find a new post as the one standing now is rotten.
James went over to look at Julie Wilhelm's roof which she says is leaking. He told her he was going to be gone but advised her as to what she should do. She said that she would before she leaves town on Saturday to go back to Utah.
This afternoon I went shopping in Show Low by myself. My goal was to find a gift for Scarlett for her baptism and something for Benson.
I went to the new TJ Maxx store first and was quite impressed. I think it is the nicest store in Show Low. I bought some onsies and little sweat pants for Benson and I also bought a blanket for my Christmas stash. On to the Book Barn to look for something for Scarlett.
I found a necklace that I liked and a card and got to visit with my friend Donna Lundgren who works at the store. When I got home I took over an hour rest time with Tom. I am going to miss him while I am gone but I am so grateful that Kim & Brian are coming up on Friday to watch over him and Sammy and our horses.
I didn't finish my blog post but I did finish my steps. We were in bed by 8:30.
