We left for town around 10 as James's appointment is at 10:30. Denise came over from the hospital and we made a trade. She gave me back season 1 and 2 of Downton Abbey and I gave her season 3. She says she loves it and can hardly wait to watch it although Dennis is a little jealous of her time watching it.
We did some other errands and had lunch at LaCasita. I had the green chili chicken enchilada as recommended by Kaeli Nicoll and it was delicious! I think James had it too.
We got stuck in the mud on our own road going home. There was so much mud in the wheel well that the tire could not go around.
There was only a few hours before I had to be at the church for New Beginnings. I hiked up to the house (cabin), got a crowbar and began digging the mud out. Man that stuff is sticky. Soon James was helping me and we finally got it out. I am not sure I could have done it without James.
We went down early to setup and make punch. Shelly and Brother Applegate came shortly after we got there. Here is a picture of the refreshment/handout table.
Sock cupcakes.
I guess my picture of the "value" brownies didn't turn out. I had mini M&M's on each brownie which made the very colorful. Also we had ice cream and homemade hot fudge sauce. Yes, Janis Willis finally gave me her recipe!
Shelly was in charge of New Beginning and did an outstanding job. The program she chose was Personal Progress Airlines. We moved from room to room and visited four holy places: the home, the temple, the church, and ourselves. It was a great evening! And all the girls did a great job with their parts on the program.
James's punch was a big hit but we had lots left over. He sent the leftovers home with the Applegate's. Brother Applegate said it was the best punch on the face of the planet.
