Happy 28th Birthday Michael!
Kathy and I pushed our ministering appointments with Chelsea MacArthur and Kerri Halcomb back an hour or so, so we could be here while our pianos were being tuned.
The tuners name is Deloris Solomon and she has lived in Show Low all of her life. She says she knows the Maxwell's and that Arlee & Verdie, my grandparents were so good to her parents. She was very nice and friendly and I immediately liked her. It took her about an hour to tune the piano and it cost me $185.
Kathy and I had a prayer in the car before leaving, I offered it. It was almost 3 when we left and she said that Chelsea had to leave at 3, so we hurried over. Chelsea and her kids had walked to the end of the drive with two dogs and a cat. They have a new dog, a St. Bernard puppy named Emma. Chelsea says that Ernie, their other dog, who is half sheep dog and chases car, is a little jealous of the new dog. Boone was holding the cat they got from Kathy. The kids call the cat Catzilla. Kathy doesn't like that name. Chelsea says she calls her Princess. I gave Chelsea the bag with their family card and JOY ornament and a birthday gift for Boone and Scotlyn. I told Peyton I knew her birthday was in February and asked her what day. She says it is on the 10th. We didn't really get to have much of a visit because of Chelsea's appointment. The appointment is with someone who wants to sell some things in their store, Arizona Meat Market, which is also a little boutique. Kathy is giving everyone a card and a loaf of her cinnamon bread. On to Kerri's.
We aren't really Kerri's ministering sisters. Wendy DeWitt is assigned but Wendy isn't here in the winter anymore. We are going to tell Cheryl Sedig, the RS President that we would like to have the job. I gave Kerri a blanket and set it under her tree which isn't decorated. Kathy had a small loaf of bread for Kerri and for Catherine. I took Catherine because I am going to see her tomorrow.
Kerri gave us a report on her mom. She is not happy at the care facility and Kerri said yesterday when she was teaching school her mom texted her between 9:30 and 1:00, constantly. She wants Kerri to come and get her and take her home. I know Catherine has Alzheimer's and Kerri says that is what is hard for her and why she struggled to care for her Mom. This situation is breaking my heart. I hate to see Catherine so unhappy and I wish I could go get her and bring her home, but of course, I can't. I am taking her a Santa and an ornament of Mary, and Joseph with Joseph holding the baby Jesus. She is constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
Back at home I made some lasagna soup, without the noodles, of course, It made for a tasty dinner for James and I.
Afterwards I watched the finale of the Hallmark series "The 12 Dates of Christmas." It had a good ending and I ended up really liking it.
Tom is with us again tonight.

And again, inasmuch as parents have children in Zion, or in any of her stakes which are organized, that teach them not to understand the doctrine of repentance, faith in Christ the Son of the living God, and of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost by the laying on of the hands, when eight years old, the sin be upon the heads of the parents.
I wonder if they are at a concert.
