Thanks to Sheri for posting all of these pictures!
I read an article in Meridian magazine this morning. The title was: "The Parting of My Red Sea" by Lynne P. Christofferson. Lynne and her brother were in Morocco when the airports to Europe began shutting down in March. Because of a friend who was helping them make online reservations and because of their righteousness in keeping their temple covenants and through their prayers, they were able to get home through a "sea of people" who were also waiting to get out of Morocco. They made it out just before the airport closed. It was truly a miracle. Many in the "sea of people" did not make it out.
As James left for the Howard's this morning I offered a prayer for his safety. I am worried about him being on a 16 ft. ladder in the wind. He says he will be careful. What exactly does that mean coming from James Lambson who is known to be quite reckless?
I made the ministering changes we talked about in our presidency meeting. I texted Diana Curtis and asked her to be Sister Beckham's ministering sister. Sister Beckham and her husband just moved here from Gilbert. Diana said she would be happy to be her ministering sister. Diana is such a pleasure to work with. Hopefully her partner will help with this assignment.
I also texted Catherine Halcomb and told her of her new partner, her daughter, Kerri and their assignment to minister to five sisters to whom they are already ministering. Catherine and Kerri are both excited about this new assignment.
Sheri checked on us today regarding the government stimulus check. Kim texted and asked if we needed anything. When I said we were running a little low on toilet paper she offered to bring some up. I told her that wouldn't be necessary but I was grateful for her concern and her willingness to help. We are all concerned about Kim and Brian because they have both been out of work for well over a month.
I opened a large can of bean with bacon soup. Add some crackers and bingo, lunch! James was appreciative when he got home.
I pigged out on ice cream and warm caramel sauce today. I cannot have ice cream in my house unless it is Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches.
Watched "Lark Rise to Candleford" during lunch break and read to James from "Aunt Dimity and the Family Tree."
I cleaned books this afternoon getting ready for another shipment.
The last book I cleaned, "Western Civilization", had a huge sticker covering almost the entire back of the book. It took me about 30 minutes to remove this sticker. When I showed James he said, "I would have just left it on." After removing the sticker I took it to James and said, "This is why I always remove stickers." The book was an instructor's manual and it is against Amazon policy to sell instructor's manuals. It said right on the back, DO NOT SELL.
When I notified the seller, Buck Wild Books, (won't be using him again), the person who emailed me acted like he was angry with his staff for sending the book. I told him about the big sticker covering all of the pertinent information. I never heard back from him.
I will be returning the book for a full refund, including shipping and return shipping.
James spent most of the evening looking for a lien release form online. He finally found what he needed and emailed it to himself. He always seems to have a little crisis.
In other James news, he went on a horsey ride this evening. He really seems to enjoy these nightly trots. I'm glad because Luna needs the exercise after being stuck in her tiny pen all day.
James also found his hearing aid as he was going to bed this evening. It was under the edge of his bed. Yay!!
I studied the Restoration, Inklings, and Come Follow Me this evening. I also finished the audio book by Brad Wilcox, "Because of the Christ on Calvary." It was a good one.

Elbert Lewis was my bishop when I first moved back
to Show Low in 1960. I remember Kimberly as
a cute little blonde girl surrounded by 3 brothers.
I loved her mom, Gerry.
