A paragraph from my Patriarchal Blessing:
1. Live near to the Lord
2. Pray daily to be shielded from temptation greater than we are able to withstand thus the righteous desires of my heart can be realized as I live under His divine influence.

I made buttermilk syrup this morning for our ward's pancake breakfast. It was delicious. James said it tasted like caramel, probably because I used brown sugar. After the breakfast I came home and made another batch using white sugar and it was just as good, if not better.
The weather was very fickle today. It was windy, then it rained, and even snowed for awhile and then I saw the sun shine. Hopefull the rain will lessen the extreme fire danger in the area.
James and I made a trip to the dump and to the Stanford store to get some gas for our trip to El Paso tomorrow. After leaving the dump we heard a weird scraping noise, and then it stopped. We turned around and by the side of the road we saw something that had dropped off from the undercarriage of our car. James said it was some kind of mud guard. Luckily it's not that important. For a few minutes we thought we had another flat tire, but thank goodness we didn't.
This afternoon I paid bills and worked on my blog all while listening to BYU Devotionals. James took his work in and sat by the fireplace.

Soon I joined him and we read from The Book Thief.
I have to share a post that Sheri did about Max. She got some twine and hemp for Ian to make the boys some bracelets. Ian said: "Hey guys look what mom got so I can make you some bracelets." Max's response was: "What? Are we teenage girls? Do you want us to sit in a circle and braid each others' hair?"
This evening James and I watched a really good Hallmark movie we had seen before called: "Will You Dance at My Wedding?" RomA Downey and John Schneider were in it. I should have saved it for Kim and Sheri to watch when they come up.
