Jesus Christ, Judge
Mormon 3:20
And these things doth the Spirit manifest unto me; therefore I write unto you all. And for this cause I write unto you, that ye may know that ye must all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ, yea, every soul who belongs to the whole human family of Adam; and ye must stand to be judged of your works, whether they be good or evil;

"Deceive Me Not"
Elder Gary E. Stevenson
"I bear my witness of the Holy One of Israel - even the name of Jesus Christ. I testify of His abiding love, truth, and joy that are made possible by His infinite and eternal sacrifice. As we obey His commandments, we will always be led in the right way and will not be deceived. In the sacred name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, amen."









James talked to his mom on the phone today. She made this comment: "Stores are opening early for seniors so we don't get trampled in the rush to the toilet paper."

At 5:30 a.m. we left for Walmart. They are open at 6 a.m. for seniors over the age of 65. I thought this would be a good time to go shopping for two reasons: 1) It wouldn't be so crowded, and 2) the shelves would be stocked. 

As soon as we drove in to the parking lot I could tell it was going to be crowded because the parking lot was full. There was only one door opened and James dropped me off at the closed door so I had to walk down to the other one. No biggie. They took one look at me, knew I was over 65 and let me in.

Many people had on masks and gloves. I would wear gloves but I refuse to wear a mask. Lots of shelves were bare but thank goodness they had some toilet paper. James got a separate basket from me and we both got a package of toilet paper. There was a limit, one package per person. 

I saw Kerri looking for a document pen for Lucretia Barton. Catherine said she was there looking for flour and raisin bread and they were out of both. James told her he would grind her some flour for bread this week.  We also saw Marie Robertson who came with the Halcomb's. She told me when the quarantine was lifted that I should come over and get some books from her. 

I read from "Aunt Dimity Down Under" to James on the way home. I got home in time to listen to Kris and Kathy on the Book Profits webinar. They are my favorites. They said since we can't send books in to Amazon we should list them as merchant fulfilled until April 5th when we can send them in again. Good idea! Kathy also helped me change my shipping preferences for merchant fulfilled. Now the customer is paying for the shipping. 

James has his lumber order ready for Chacon's and Armando is tying steel for the footings. Finally some progress!

Sheri texted me to tell me that they aren't going to come this week. She is afraid they are going to close down her office and she won't have the hours she needs. I must say I am a little disappointed.

Stacy needs a computer as she is going to finish her school from home. I told her she could have James's old one. She was excited.

 I did one blog post today and I was lucky to get that. Must get faster! Jared asked about us. He knows we are waiting to hear the report about what Jace died from. How sweet of him to check on us.

Tonight we did the "Come Follow Me" lesson in the manual.

Now that's my kind of gardening!

Bountiful, Utah
47th operating temple
Dedicated: 8 Jan 1995
By: Howard W. Hunter

Jesus Christ, Death of
DC 20:23
He was crucified, died, and rose again the third day;
Book of Mormon
1 Nephi 3:9-31
Why do you think Sam willingly followed Nephi while Laman and Lemuel persecuted him?
New Testament
John 7:17; 1 Thessalonians 5:21; James 1:5-6, 22; 2:17
General Conference
Laying the Foundation of a Great Work
Elder Steven R. Bangerter
"Consistent, wholesome family traditions that include prayer, scripture reading, family home evening, and attendance at Church meetings, though seemingly small and simple create a culture of love, respect, unity, and security. In the spirit that accompanies these efforts, our children become protected from the fiery darts of the adversary so embedded in the worldly culture of our day."



I got up at 3:36 this morning to take a shower. I went back to bed and James and I lay their talking, trying to decide if we were going to our appointments in the valley today. James finally said, "Yes we are. We can do hard things." We left around 5 a.m.

James drives. The hardest part is getting out of the garage because of the snow piled up in our driveway. Away we go! No stopping. We drive directly to James's appointment on Dobson just south of Frye. 

I leave the keys in the car and text him that I am walking north on Dobson Rd. My infusion appointment is at 10:30 and it's around 8:45, on Baseline and Arizona Avenue. I only walk a short ways before he picks me up and drives to the Chandler mall. The only place open is Wildflower Bakery. I ordered some lemon ricotta pancakes and James has some orange juice. I eat two of my pancakes. They are delicious. What is it with me and lemon these days?

Two of my favorites are in the infusion center, Angie who puts in my drip, and Frances who makes the appointments. I got 640 mg of Actemra. My blood pressure was 108/64. I think my walking is helping me to stay a little more healthy although my weight is up about four lbs for last month.

 At 11:30 I am finished. James is outside waiting. I drive this time to QuikTrip to check the air in our tires and to get some gas. 

Our next stop is the Olive Garden on Gilbert and Germann. I have the Ravioli di portabello:

My favorite OG dish right now.

This is what James ordered:
Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken
I liked mine better.

Our waiters name was Jesse. I really liked him so he got a good tip.  

We were going to go to Darrel and Trina's just to say hi but Trina was taking the younger girls to Sodalicious and the older two were gone somewhere else. Rowan was with the Trezise's bowling.
 We said goodbye and that we would be back Monday and Tuesday, and headed home.

I drove until we got to the Circle K in Superior. When we got out to trade places I realized what a beautiful, sunny day it is. 

Our ride was pretty uneventful until we got to the Safeway in Show Low where James stopped to get me some Dr. Pepper 10. As he was carrying it to the car he realized that it weighed more than the 5 lbs that he is supposed to be lifting. Sorry honey.

As we got to our hill in Vernon we made a running start and kept it going until we rounded the road into our driveway and garage. We almost got stuck in the driveway!

I walked and worked on my computer this evening doing my blog. I am a little sad because I have watched all the Christmas movies I had recorded, all 126 of them.

 I love Sister Hinckley!
