I read Genesis 50 this morning where both Jacob and Joseph pass away.
I started the first batch of cookie around 7 and had them in the frig by 7:30. It needs to be in the frig for over an hour. I ended up mixing up 3 batches of cookies while Kim rolled them out and baked them. We ended up with about 60 cookies. I only have 48 small gavels for the handouts so that's how many cookies we need.
I mixed up a 2 lb. bag of powdered sugar to make the frosting. Kim divided it up into 7 paper bowls and added the colors, pink, green, yellow, orange, purple, sky blue and teal blue. We laid out parchment paper on the dining room table and began frosting and putting sprinkles on the cookies. After the frosting dried I placed the cookies in cellophane bags. My right arm was hurting and I can't lift it so after frosting the cookies Kim insisted on putting the twisty ties on the bags and tying the mini gavels on with ribbon. We ended up with 48 bagged cookies that looked like this:
This evening Kim, Brian and I watched the new series on Hallmark Plus, "Hope Valley 1874". The Hallmark Plus app on the TV is not working but Brian figured out how to connect the Hallmark Plus app on my phone to the TV through airplay. Once we got the connection it worked very well. Bethany Joy Lenz is in this show, which is a weekly series. She is Kim's favorite.
I am worried about my arm. What if I can't lift it up to do my hair and makeup tomorrow?
Kim and Brian want to live here.

Genesis 50:17
So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
