Dig I mention that James got his big Cat fixed? The guys came out yesterday and for the first time in a long time it is working! Now we just need to get the parts for the small Cat so we can sell it to Pierce. Things are progressing in the Cat world.
I forgot to share what happened to Sheri yesterday as she was doing errands for Brian, Kim, and Joe. She was checking out at Walmart with some things Brian had asked for when Kim texted and asked if she could go by Circle K and get a vanilla diet Dr. Pepper for Joe. She was in a rush when she left Walmart and didn't realize until she got to Circle K that she had not paid at the scan and go when she checked out and left Walmart. She looked for her receipt and couldn't find it. She got Joe's diet Dr. Pepper without the vanilla because they didn't have any, and drove back to Walmart. She walked in with her groceries and one of the store managers asked what she needed. She explained to him that she had failed to pay for her groceries and needed to go check out again. He said to her, "You have restored my faith in humanity." He happened to be black. When she got home and told the story to Ian he said, "You did that because of the way your mom raised you." That made me feel like maybe I had done something worthwhile in raising my kids.
I came across this quote today in my studies:
"You cannot do the Lord's work in the world's way."
I worked on books this morning after doing my blog until James said he was going to town to get a tire fixed and to see what parts he needed to fix little Cat. He asked me if I would go with him. I haven't been anywhere since we got back from the Valley so I said yes, I wanted to go. I went in and got ready. Our first stop was Center Tire where we dropped off the Cat tire. Next we went to CVS to pick up a prescription for James which was not ready. They said they needed approval from Dr. Moffat. James had already called him and now CVS said they would call him. This is a medicine James needs and he has been out of it for a few days. While James was at the drive-thru window I was inside getting liquid hand soap for the Grapp's. Hand soap has gone up unless CVS is just higher priced than Walmart.
We stopped at Taco Bell for lunch then James went in to Tractor Supply to get some horse feed. I waited in the car and read from the book I downloaded on Desert Book Plus. Next stop was Splash n Dash to get gas and wash the car. While we were getting gas two cars got into the car wash line so we had to wait about 15 minutes. James wiped off the back window and put some RainX on it to help keep the dust off after going through the wash. It helped a little, but not as much as we wanted it to. We stopped and picked up the tire at Center Tire and then James went to Empire Cat. He came out with a couple of schematics and showed me the parts he thought he needed. They were tiny and he said: "This one cost $100 and this one is $182. Someone is really taking advantage.
We read from "Aunt Dimity and the Wishing Well" on the way home and stopped at the post office. I got one book. Finally we were home!
I spoke to several people today via text. Trina to tell her how much I liked what she is doing to her house. I especially like the white couch and blue and white pillows in the "living room." I checked on Stacy and Kim who are both pretty miserable and congested but they both said they were breathing well. I talked to my friend Jean. I was going to go over and take my "Come Follow Me' lesson manual with me but she is in the valley today. She sounded so tired. I texted with Cammy and told her about the soap I bought and she showed me the jeans curtains she had finished for her bathroom. They are very unique and will add some personality to their home. I spoke to Dennis, my brother, who has had a terrible bout of vertigo and was even in the hospital. We had a nice visit. I sent graduation cards to Danielle Miner, and Zach and Maddie Maxwell. I would have sent Anna a card but she did not send me an invitation.
James did not go for a ride today on Luna. Instead he worked on digging up the water line. He made a terrible discovery. The leak is in a pipe in the wall. This means he will have to tear out drywall to fix it. He said he was going to turn off the well pump tonight after I washed my face and got ready for bed.
Another episode of "Lark Rise to Candleford." Only one more to go.

This is a horrible sight!
