Mesa, Arizona temple
The first thing I saw on Facebook this morning was this post by Scott Tibbetts who has been battling cancer for a year or two:
Well the story of Jacob and Esau certainly had a happy ending in Genesis 33. A good lesson in forgiveness and brotherly love.
Tom is staying outside more than inside this morning. I think he's still a little skittish about our company. He did come in this afternoon and lay on the bed and then on my lap while I rested on the bedroom recliner.
James went to the dump for us and the Crane's today. Kathy was so grateful as she had to go last week when we were gone. Both of Chuck's shoulders are bad and he can't do any lifting.
I texted Darrel, Trina, and Ruby today and told them how much I enjoyed the track meet. Here is what I said:
To Darrel & Trina: "I wish I could come to every track meet! Ruby runs so gracefully and makes it look so easy, when I know it is not. I could watch her run every day and never get tired of it. She is such an amazing girl in so many ways! Thank you for raising such wonderful children, I love them all!!
To Ruby: "Ruby, you were amazing yesterday. I am so glad I was there to see your two races. You have such a beautiful style, I wish I could come to every track meet. I could watch you every day. You make it look so easy when I know it is not. You dominated!
I received the following texts:
From Trina: "Thank you for coming. That was really sweet of both of you. It means a lot. Love you guys."
From Darrel: "Thank you for coming. I know it was quite an effort."
From Ruby: "Thank you so much grandma! I loved seeing you guys and I love you!!
Kacey texted to thank me for Tanner's birthday card since Tanner doesn't have a phone right now. I am so glad the card got there before his actual birthday.
It was quite a relaxing day for me. I visited a little with Ben & Cayli, although they spent most of their time upstairs watching TV. I also blogged and walked, listening to our book and watching Murdoch Mysteries while I blog.
Cayli fixed a pasta dish for dinner tonight using pasta, a canned sauce with vodka in it, and sauteed onions. It was very tasty. James doesn't usually like pasta but he liked this because of the onions. Thanks for dinner Cayli.
James and I watched the latest Hallmark Hannah Swensen mystery. This episode was titled, "Sugar and Vice."

Genesis 32:28
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Autumn sent these last Sunday
