Up at 3:25. Feed Tom.

Sister McCamy, one of the mothers of the missionaries serving from our ward, has asked as many people who will or can to write a Christmas card to each of the missionaries serving from our ward, and one for their companions too. James and I have been doing two every morning after our devotional. It has been fun.

I had a lot of laundry to do today, including the sheets on the beds upstairs and towels that were used. 

James had to go move some of the wood cut on Saturday because it was stacked in the wrong place. While he was working with his Cat Pierce came over with his trailer and helped James load up the wood and move it, saving James a lot of time. Thank you Pierce!

It has been over 2 and 1/2 months since we submitted all of the information for the Downwind cancer case James qualified for. We have not heard anything, so I decided to call JoNell at Thompson & Montgomery law firm in Globe. I think JoNell was surprised to hear from me and even more surprised to hear that we had not received a payment. August was before things really got busy. JoNell gave several reasons that we have seen no results. First, there are new agents working on the cases and second, the government has been closed down. She said they have been asking for original documents instead of digital and asked me to send the original copies of the medical records and the pages where James had to sign his signature. I sent them priority mail and mailed them in Show Low. Tomorrow is veterans' day so JoNell will probably not receive them until Thursday. JoNell said she is frustrated about the hold up and she is going to call the Justice Department and find out what is going on.   The last things she said to me was, "I'm glad you called me today." I'm glad she is on our side. James didn't want me to call and bother her, but now he is glad that I did.

Even though James didn't get Dr. Memon's job he is hopeful that he will get the one that is scheduled to begin next year. I hope he isn't disappointed. 

While I was in Show Low mailing my stuff to JoNell, I decided to do a little shopping. I went to Show Low to get the Crunch Master crackers James likes and an avocado because he said we needed one for our salad. I also went to T.J. Maxx's and got a couple of boxes of Christmas cards. 

This evening I watched an old Christmas movie from 2015, "Christmas Melody" starring Lacey Chabert and Mariah Carey and Brennan Elliott.

D&C 130:1
When the Savior shall appear we shall see him as he is. We shall see that he is a man like ourselves.

Kim got a new figure for her
Christmas village.

Brian got her a new advent calendar.


Show Low is getting a Giving Machine 
this year. This is where it will be.

Benson has a rash but he still looks
handsome in the outfit we gave him.




James reminding me he is out of
his favorite crackers.
