Medford, Oregon
Temple #79


Started the book of Joshua. The Israelites are entering the promised land. Joshua is faithful, prepared, and courageous. He trusts the Lord through every challenge. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15
I love the story of Rahab in chapter 2. 

Tom needed a nap companion this morning so I obliged him for about an hour. 

James was upset when I got ready to go to town. He knew we were planning on going to the ballgame in Lakeside this evening at 5 and thought we should only make on trip to town. I told him I was sorry but I was going now. Later he told me he wanted to go with me but at this moment he certainly didn't seem like he did. I was happy to go by myself this time.

The first thing I did was stop at the UPS store to return one of the dresses I bought on Amazon. I love how easy it is to make an Amazon return. I picked up a few things at Walmart then went to Ross to look for a purse. I found a black one I liked for $20 so I got it. I found a dark green one on Amazon I liked but it was $40. Sometimes I do economize. 

I also went to Dollar Tree to get some cards, birthday and graduation. I got birthday cards for Cayli, Mason, Emmy, and Ruby. I got graduation cards for Curtis Wilhelm and Aurora Lambson. 

When I returned home I cooked myself a burger with onions and cheese and had some salsa and ketchup as well. Kathy's salsa is very good but it is a little hot. I had a side of carrots with the Peruvian green sauce for dipping. Yum. I offered to fix the same thing for James but he declined. 

I sat down to rest and read from Emma M. Lion volume 2.

I asked James if he wanted to go to the ballgame this evening. He said, "Not particularly, we've already been to two." It was so windy today I just didn't feel like going, so I texted Chelsea and told her. I never got an answer. I hope that isn't an indication that she is upset with me. 

I finished the book I was reading, "Miss Adeline's Match." James and I both really liked it. I started "No Match for Love", one that I have read before. Karen Thornell is the author. 

Tom went outside for the evening. No sign of Scooter or Sammy.

Shanna Penrod called me today and asked if I had any names for the youth to take to the temple on Saturday for baptisms. I told her I would get online and find some and get back to her.

The youth raised $9,000 Saturday night.

I did not take any pictures in the actual tabernacle.
