We did not make it to Blanche Ryland's memorial service this morning.  I got Tony, her daughter's address, from Cathi and will send the family a card.  I really did love Blanche and we have known her since we moved to Chandler in 1971.

James power sprayed the rest of the planters so Reuben and Lauro could paint on Monday.  I went to Rowan and Evan's soccer game.  Evan has become quite the aggressive player.  It's always fun at these games because I get to visit with Sheri, Trina, Suzy, and Ruby.  Addy is never there though because she has dance practice at the same time.

Before leaving town I went to Chik-fil-a and In-n-Out Burger.  I go home the Payson way and James goes home the Globe way and I beat him home.  He brought some more citrus fruit so we can give some to the Crane's and he also brought green burros.  

Joseph, Michael, Alex and Ben all had practice for the cultural celebration for the Gilbert temple.  They spent all day at Discovery Park with no cell phones!

 I'm not sure what this represents but

it is colorful.  The kids from Chandler

are in the yellow group.

After unpacking James and I watched this week's episode of:

"When Calls the Heart."

It has warmed up.  Yesterday morning it was 2 degrees and this morning it's 14.  I slept in until after 6.  We stayed up too late watching that silly Christmas movie last night.

James left for the valley this morning.  He is bidding a job at Troon North Golf course in Scottsdale and is also checking on the Hatch job.  I am left at home alone.  I was so tired this morning I nestled down in my recliner and watched a cute Christmas movie I've seen before called "Help for the Holidays."  I did manage to get up and get dressed after the movie.

I worked on my blog and brought up the rest of the Christmas decorations and did some decorating but still haven't started the tree.  

We had an all board meeting, including class presidencies, tonight before Mutual.  Diana Curtis did some planning with the girls using the new Church youth activities website.  We planned a Young Women combined activity for February and one for March.  For Mutual I interviewed some of the girls for Personal Progress and Diana taught Kilee how to index.  Randa Covert played games with the girls waiting for their Personal Progress interviews.  It was nice that there were three of us there to cover all bases.

Gail's friends from Oregon are suppose to come by tomorrow and may be spending the night on their way to a hunting trip on the Blue.  That means tomorrow will be a busy day for me.

We watched the move "A Christmas Tail", starring Jenny Garth.
