How true.

James made sausage gravy and biscuits for breakfast.  We also had fresh strawberries and jalapeno jelly.  I know that Darrel doesn't have time for a lunch break so I want to make sure he has a good breakfast.

My plate.

Darrel told us something funny that Rowan said to Trina:

"Mom do you think dad is really going to work or do you think he is just playing games and eating candy at the cabin?"  Funny.  He knows that's what we do when their family visits.  He forgot to mention Razr rides.

Darrel's car was so caked in mud in the undercarriage that it shook when he tried to drive it so he took my car to work.  

James's crew poured their last batch of concrete at Hatch Hanger today.  Now James has to lay most of them off.  Such is the nature of this business.

Adam and his "crew" are painting at Reed & Janis Willis's.  

I spent most of the day paying bills both business and personal.  It is a long and tedious process.  I also did two blog posts, I'm still a week behind.  James worked on billing Greg Hatch and projecting how much more it would cost to finish the project.  

Chandler High School is celebrating its 100th year birthday.

Oldest high school in Arizona?

James washed the mud off Darrel's car today.  Darrel is working until 10pm so he won't be going home tonight but will go home in the morning.  

I made homemade mashed potatoes and swiss steak for dinner while James watched Sue Thomas.  He got frustrated because the disk kept skipping.  We did enjoy a delicious meal together before going to bed and made a plate for Darrel when he gets home.

Happy 65th Birthday to my 

dear sister-in-law Cathi!

Lots of sick people in our family right now.  Stacy called and said she and Paul have it and Joshua has a fever again.  Stacy says what she has is a throat virus and so an antibiotic won't work.  Alex and Micahel were sick after Christmas.  James has laringitis and a sinus infection. 

I love Elder Soares conference talk on being Meek and Lowly of Heart.  I really needed to hear his words today.  Here is the definition he gave of meekness: "Meekness is the quality of those who are Godfearing, righteous, humble, teachable, and patient under suffering.  Those who possess this attribute are willing to follow Jesus Christ, and their temperament is calm, docile, tolerant, and submissive.  Definitely need to work on this attribute.

I emailed some recipes to Kim today for chili, taco soup, and honey-lime chicken.  They are ones that she asked for.

I am excited that I am within four days of catching up on my blog! 

James and I were watching TV this afternoon when we heard a loud noise outside.  James went out to see what it was and found that a stone had come off the fireplace.  I guess he will be calling the stone mason. 

James grilled us some steaks for lunch.  I had bought them to cook on New Year's Eve but we ended up going to the Dewitt's party instead.  They were yummy.  For dinner we had collard green and cabbage with bacon butter.  Quite good.

In my quest to put away Christmas I managed to put the Disney tree away.  I am moving slow.

We watched kind of a silly Christmas movie called "Finding Mrs. Claus." We enjoy spending this time together in the evening watching movies.

Evan's selfie

Evan is such a unique and special boy.  On New Year's day he got all of his family together around the table and had them open a note from him.  It said:  "It's hard to be good all the time, but Trezise family you are doing a great job!"  Sincerely from Robo Tech.  Then he gave each one of them a dollar.  Robo Tech is the name of his company.  You gotta love this kid!
