Sheri's quote of the day:
"It is by faith that you can lay hold upon every good thing. Just as you are marked as a target by the enemy of righteousness, you have been protected and watched over by your Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. They know you They know all the forces and individuals around you. They know what is ahead of you.
And so They know which of the choices you make, which of the desires you satisfy, and which of the circumstances around you will make the most difference in keeping you walking in the light.
I testify that by the Spirit of Christ and by the Holy Ghost, you may walk confidently in whatever difficulties will come. Because you are so valuable, some of your trials may be severe. You need never be discouraged or afraid. The way through difficulties has always been prepared for you, and you will find it if you exercise faith."
Today is Aaron Lambson's 37th birthday. He is just a day older than Darrel and five days older than Jon. Erik's wife Amelia made this cake for him. It looks amazing!
James and I drove into town this morning and returned the Toyota Corolla to Hatch's so we wouldn't have to pay for another day.
James drops me off at Walmart to do some shopping while he goes to Home Depot to get a new toilet for the hallway bathroom. Alicia Hunsaker catches us kissing in the parking lot.
Walmart is crazy the first of the month when everyone gets their government checks. I run in to an old friend from our early days in Chandler, Sandy Bear. Sandy and her husband John have a summer place in Lakeside on Rainbow Lake. She said they are having a family reunion with their five children and their spouses, their 33 grandchildren, and 44 great grandchildren. What a posterity! She also said they have land in Vernon that they want to sell. James wants to know where it is. I told him I didn't know because she couldn't tell me.
James finishes at Home Depot and helps me do my shopping. On the way home we stop across from Maverick and buy some tamales. We get three pork and three green chili and cheese. They are both delicious. The lady said she had 58 dozen and expected to be sold out by tomorrow afternoon.
When we get home we eat tamales and unload the car and head to the Wilhelm's to see baby George.
We are greeted by Curtis who is 7, Ruthie who is 5, and Johnny who is 3 or 4. They have bow and arrows. James sees the baby and says hello to Sandra then he stays outside with the kids while I visit with Sandra and baby George. We brought the chocolate cake, a Payday for Sandra and a card and gift card, and a box of diapers for George. As Sandra and I were talking she tells me that Trenda is working at Dr. Moffat's. I tell her I have called in a prescription to him but haven't heard back. She gets Trenda on the phone and she calls in my prescription for me. Such service! Trenda is only 17 yet she has her two years associates degree, is a phlebotamist, and a medical assistant. Impressive girl.

James put in the new toilet he bought. It is wonderful not to have to worry about jiggling the handle so it doesn't run.
Darrel and Trina's family arrived this evening. We were so excited to see them! We all watched the movie "Away and Back." Ruby cried when the ornithologist took the swan eggs away from the little girl who rescued them.
Lola is walking everywhere and she is walking fast! She points to the animal heads on the wall and says, "What's that?" She points and says it over and over again.
I should have gotten one of her walking!
Jared arrives and we stay up late talking with him.
