The Lord will lead me as I humbly seek His will.
Today I went to the temple with my Relief Society sisters, Teresa Smith, Joyce, and Ingrid. Joyce and Ingrid are sisters but look and act nothing alike. They all winter in the valley so this will be our last trip to the temple for awhile. One of our other temple sisters, Natalie Robles went to an earlier session so she could get home earlier to help her husband on the house they are building. You can watch them build on their YouTube channel "A Boulder Life: Off the Grid."
My friend Susan Hubble who usually comes is taking her granddaughters to Disneyland today. Their mother loved Disneyland and they have never been. I am so excited for them. I love going to the temple on Wednesday mornings because I get to see Shanna Penrod and give her a hug. She is the one whose husband committed suicide in January. Shanna is a temple worker and when I see her she always reminds me of an angel.
After our temple session we met at the Snowflake Smokehouse BBQ got lunch. Teresa had the mac & cheese with pulled pork, Joyce had the pulled pork sandwich with onion rings, and Ingrid had the St. Louis ribs with fries. I had the strawberry spinach salad with chicken. The food was good and I got to know my friends a little better. Joyce will not kill spiders or flies saying they have as much right to be here as we do. She has a huge gopher snake that climbs up and down the walls on her patio. She showed me a picture. Although I love Joyce and her tender heart I just can't allow reptiles and arachnids to live near me.
Teresa asked me if I was coming to Debbie Schwartz's baptism on the 18th. I told her I would be gone to Texas to a family baptism. She asked me if I would write Debbie a note, and I said I would. I am so happy for Debbie!
I paid my bill and said my goodbyes and headed for Walmart. I am making my weekly meal, a green chili pork stew. I also had to get catfood and Tom's treat.
James called me on the way home. I guess he wanted me to pick up something for him at Walmart but I had already left. He was not upset although he says he told me before I left to call him when I got to Walmart. I missed that part. So sorry. He is still chopping wood and burning brush. He chops down dead trees, burns the branches and saves the rest for firewood. He is such an outdoorsman. He ran the chainsaw through his pants again and they still didn't touch his garments or skin. So what if we have to throw another pair of pants away.
I napped with Tom, finished my movie, "Home Turf" starring Nikki DeLoach and Warren Christy, blogged and walked. I did not finish any blogposts today but I did get my 10,000 steps and finished Anthony Sweat's book, "Seekers Wanted."
While I was feeding Sammy this evening I left the door open for a minute and he came in to our bedroom. Tom attacked him in a sort of non-violent way and got him by the throat. I don't think Tom was biting hard but just wanted to warn Sammy that this territory was off limits to him.

Thy voice shall be a rebuke unto the transgressor; and at they rebuke let the tongue of the slanderer cease its perverseness.
