Wednesday, January 7th, 2026: Bday cards to Jarred M. & Anna, anxiety abounds, AZ Meat Mrkt to give Chelsea Jarred's card, we mail Anna's in Vernon,

 



After scriptures this morning James and I signed birthday cards for Jarred MacArthur and Anna. 

I am feeling anxious, I guess it's time to go into town. James came with me. We stopped at Arizona Meat Market to give Chelsea, Jarred's birthday card. His birthday is on Saturday when we will be in the valley. We mailed Anna's card at the Vernon post office. We got a gift from Jared & Kacey in the mail. It's a digital photo frame. I am anxious to get it set up and hope I can do it myself.

It was cloudy and overcast today, making it quite cool. 

It was nice to visit Chelsea, and Boone, in the family store. Not only do they sell meat but they have a little store set up with jams, cookies, etc. We were going to buy some cherry jam and a peanut butter sourdough cookie but Chelsea insisted she wanted to give them to us. She said because she never delivered a Christmas gift to us. We were very appreciative.

Cherry flavored, James's favorite

One of our plans in coming in to town was to go for a walk in the park. I wanted to do it first and then have lunch at El Charro because I thought it might rain later.  James wanted to go shopping at Home Depot and Walmart first, so that's what we did.

After finishing at Home Depot James came over to Walmart to pick me up. I was still shopping. He saw me looking at women's clothes in the front of the store. I didn't see him. He thought he would play a trick on me and hide what he thought was my basket. He was hiding with a basket of groceries when a woman came up to him and said:
"I believe you have my basket." James replied: "I think this is my wife's basket." "No, I am sorry, it is my basket. The joke was on James and he was quite embarrassed about it. He laughed when he told me so I guess he's over being embarrassed.

We stopped at Harbor Freight because James needed something that they didn't have at Home Depot. China Buffet is close by and he asked if I wanted some hot & sour soup on this cold, wintery day. I said, "maybe another day." I had my heart set on a taco today. 

One more stop, Tractor Supply, for horse feed. Finally we made it to El Charro for my taco. 

We like their salsa and they warm their chips, which is a nice feature. James ordered a beef tostada and I ordered two tacos, a pastor and a shredded beef. I like the pastor the best. It was small chunks of pork and came with guacamole, shredded lettuce, tomato and onion. James was surprised that his tostada didn't come with beans. 

By the time we came out of El Charro it was raining so, no walk in the park today. Another day. I was a little disappointed.

The Crane's have finally started digging their well. We could hear the rig going in the snowstorm we had this evening. 

We read more of our trust this evening. James thinks the revisions are going to take awhile. I don't think so. My plan is to type them up, either call Chase Bank to see if they have someone to look over them to make sure they are legit, or call an attorney and do likewise, after they have been notarized. 

I paid our December tithing and fast offerings this evening.
