We sat by the Crane's during sacrament meeting. I told James his birthday gift to me was to stay for all of the block, and he did. Afterwards he was glad he did because he said priesthood meeting was very spiritual.
After our meetings James gave me another birthday present. This wonderfully delicious addictive grilled honey lime chicken.
James and I ate this entire plate of chicken.
It was better than birthday cake.
I got several phone calls, Facebook messages and Vox's today. I talked to Dennis, Harold, Vickie, Lois, Darrel, and Stacy on the phone. Kim and Brian, Laura,Darrel & Trina and several friends Facebooked me. Jared and his family Skyped me. I went to a fireside this afternoon and the young men and young women sang happy birthday to me. It was a great birthday. Jared told me that his kids fasted for Grandpa James last week. They told Emmy because she wasn't 8 yet she didn't need to fast, but she did anyone. We are so grateful for our dear sweet children and grandchildren! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family.
James's last gift to me was to take me on a Sunday drive.
It was a great birthday.
