I was up before 6, which is 4 Arizona time. I'm still having problems with my computer, but I did read my scriptures and visit with Kacey and Jared. Another thing, whenever I go to someone else's house my phone will not connect to their internet. It happened at Stacy & Paul's and now it is happening here. Kacey tried to help me but nothing worked.

James told me this morning that he got the best nights sleep he has had in a longtime, last night. We both loved our pillows. Kacey gave me the brand name of the pillow, Allswell, and told me I could get them at Walmart. Love the name and the store is convenient for me. The mattress on the bed is nice and cozy too. I finally convinced James that we need a new mattress on our bed. 

James went to Walmart to see if they could request his pain meds but Dr. Oldham never switched them from Western Drug to the Walmart in Show Low so he is out of luck. Next time I say he go to Dr. Oldham in his Show Low office so no Western Drug will be involved. 

Jared and Kacey went shopping for a new dryer at Lowe's. Charlie didn't want to go so she stayed here with me. I walked around the dining room, kitchen, family room, piano room loop and Charlie roller skated, passing me at least twice each loop. Lovie got in on the action and was so tired afterward she just plopped down on the rug, exhausted.

For dinner we went to a burger joint called Jucy. James ordered a burger with blue cheese on it and I got a grilled chicken salad with honey mustard dressing. They have free beans. Jared said that sometimes the missionaries come here and just eat the beans. I'm not sure how they get away with it but I thought it was funny. Charlie had her cheeseburger with mustard and tomato. Kacey had a salad and Jared had a burger. The food was really good.

We spent the evening at Piney Park in Marshall, Texas. Jared paid for our tickets. Thank you Jared. This was family fun, east Texas style. A giant slide with Charlie & Jared went down a couple of times. A Cow-Bee ride that Jared, James and Charlie rode and a jump zone that Charlie enjoyed. We all went through the outdoor spook alley. The weather this evening was perfect for being outside. I brought my sweater but never ended up wearing it. I was able to get all of my 12,000 steps for the day. Charlie had a great time. We all did, in spite of our ailments. Kacey has plantar fasciitis in her left foot and pain in her right hip, Jared and I have arthritic pain and so does James.

Back home in Longview we visited for awhile and then James and I were tired so we went to bed. 

Some other things I remember about today. 
*Jared practicing the song, "When I Am Baptized" on the piano. He is playing tomorrow at the baptism while Charlie and Scarlett sing.
*Charlie practicing piano, roller skating and taking a break by reading a book.
*Jared says best all-time baseball player is the Dodger's pitcher, Ohtani from Japan. Tonight he hits three homeruns and 10 strikeouts.
*College and pro-football with no sound.
*Charlie reading "Little House on the Prairie" or "Pioneer Sisters."
*Kacey is now Primary President, she has already been Young Women's President, and now there are rumors she may be called as the Relief Society President.
*Kim fed Tom his regular food, but he wanted a treat. He kept staring at the drawer where I keep them.


I love how she sits on her feet when she plays

Charlie was a good sport to sit on the
big spider even when she didn't want to.
