How are we accomplishing the will of Him who sent us?
Talk: "Waiting Upon the Lord:Thy Will Be Done"

GC:   'Rise Up in Strength, Sisters in Zion' by Bonnie L. Oscarson
"We need to acknowledge the centrality of God our Eternal Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, to our faith and salvation.
Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer.
We need to study and understand His Atonement and how to apply it daily; repentance is one of the greatest blessings each of us has to stay on course.  We need to see Jesus Christ as our primary
role model and the example of who we need to become.
We need to continually teach our families and classes about our Father's great plan of salvation, which includes the
doctrine of Christ."


On the way to my infusion this morning Jean Howard cancelled our lunch date for today.  She has a doctor's appointment in Phoenix.  Hopefully I can see her in Vernon later in the month.  

My infusion goes well.  Kim, the new nurse who is here instead of Kwanda, finds a vein and I barely feel a prick.  

Afterwards I head back to Chandler.  James had put the sheets on the bed after I washed them and he had washed the towels and rugs from the bathroom.  This was all done while he was sick!  Oh yes, he also had his snowman comforter on the bed.


We packed up and loaded the car and dropped off birthday gifts to Sheri and Stacy.  I will mail Trina's since we aren't going home her way.  James wrote the sweetest message to Sheri.  We visited Stacy, Jared Ammon, Michael and Shipley.  Paul was at work, Joshua was at school, and Adam was at work at his new job at a bank in Mesa.  I think he said it was TCF Bank.  

We had lunch at Jersey Mike's and had a visit with the realtors' who sold our house Brad and Jen McClay.  Jen said the people who bought the house absolutely love it and plan on living there for a long time.  I loved that house too.

Home Sweet Home

After lunch James and I both stopped for gas at Sam's Club.  
I told him I was going the Payson way and he said he would follow me.  I told him he didn't have to but I was grateful that he did.  

I stopped at McDonald's in Payson for an ice cream cone and James took a short nap in his truck.  We stopped in Heber to put air in my back tire.  When we got to Vernon there was antelope and elk in the highway 60 field.  Lots of the snow had melted.  When we get home we unload and put things away.  I read from "Boys in the Boat" and then we watch a Hallmark movie, "Anything But Love" starring Paul Green and Erica Christensen, then it's off to bed.

Photo Memories

Betty Jo Warner and Veleda Penrod
They made the pants and shirts for the rodeo dance.
Veleda was my mom's best friend.  This photo was taken
sometime in the 40's.

Veleda posted this.


Such a Sweetie!

"Let us commit to give a most meaningful gift to the Lord.  Let us give Him our lives, our sacrifices.  Those who do so will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can."
-President Ezra Taft Benson

We slept in today because we were pretty tired from our trip.  James got up to work on the fireplace.  He had to make a trip into town because they gave him the wrong size trim.  Finally they agree to give him a refund.  He brings me back a drink and I didn't even ask!

Trina and Lola go into town to shop at Walmart and to take lunch to Darrel at CVS.  
Back at the cabin the kids and I watched "Nightmare Before Christmas".  I had never watched it all the way through before.  Weird is all I can say.
Ruby helping grandpa work on the fireplace.
Rowan went in the bedroom to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince while Addy watched "Elf" in the family room.
Ruby also worked at her "desk".  Actually my desk.  She had postie
notes sticking everywhere with words and names on them.
James went on the house this afternoon using a ladder to do something for the fireplace and Ruby told him they needed to talk.  She took him upstairs in his office while she sat in his big chair and he sat across from her.  She gave him some Post It's and told him to take notes on the things she told him:
1.)  Be more careful.
2.) Get some help next time.
3.) Use a rope so he won't fall.
4.) Don't slide off because it's dangerous.
5.) Stay away from ladders.  Don't climb in the house or onto the roof.  Such good advice from one so young!
This afternoon Trina made cookies and the kids cut them out and decorated them.
Frosting them was the most fun.
Of course Lola is right there trying to get in on all the fun.
Addy and I tried to do a Christmas puzzle but we didn't finish.
Lola is the life of every party!
Ruby doesn't like to hear the balloon pop!
After cookies, games, and dinner.  We all settled down
to watch "The Christmas Dragon".
 Christmas caroling!
