"Thru Cloud and Sunshine, Lord Abide with Me"
Reyna I. Aburto
"As disciples of Jesus Christ, we have made a covenant with God that we 'are willing to bear one another's burdens' and 'to mourn with those that mourn.' This may include becoming informed about emotional illnesses, finding resources that can help address these struggles, and ultimately bringing ourselves and others to Christ, who is the Master Healer. Even if we do not know how to relate to what others are going through, validating that their pain is real can be an important first step in finding understanding and healing."

Card for the Grapp family
Peach tea for James and me courtesy of James. I made it until 9 am before I needed a cherry Pepsi. I usually have it first thing in the morning.
I blogged first thing this morning after my prayers and planning. Afterwards I finished up Valentines.
James went to town to get gas for the power washer so he could wash the car. He brought me back a sandwich and chocolate custard from Culver's. Their custard is so smooth and creamy. Thanks honey for the custard, but you can have the sandwich because I already had a frozen burrito for lunch.
James spent a couple of hours washing the car and spraying off the garage and driveway. This fight with the mud is a constant battle. When James sprays off the sidewalk the runoff goes right in front of the house and creates a mud puddle. As soon as we can afford to we are going to get a load of cinders.
I read to James from "Aunt Dimity and the Deep Blue Sea". I also took a break and finished my chapter in "Live Up To Our Privileges" and "Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon."
When I was finished with the Grapp's Valentine box I wrapped Benson's birthday presents and got out Olaf for Leland since I missed his birthday in July. Next on the list, make the Rice Krispy treats, extra gooey using Kim's formula of less cereal and more marshmallow. I bagged them up and got ready to deliver. By this time James was making the cobble for tonight's Valentine party at the church. He made one but didn't treat the pan before he made the cobbler so he made another one too. He put them both in the oven before we headed to the Grapp's which is a good ten miles away.
When we drove up to the Grapp's all of the kids were outside playing and ran to open the gate for us. We handed each of them something to carry and told them we had to get home because we had a cobbler in the oven.
We went back home and James took the first cobbler out. It looks pretty good. Both are cherry because I like the red color for Valentines day.
When both cobbler's were finished we grabbed the last one and headed for the church to the ward party. Kerri and Michelle did a great job decorating. The food was provided by Shamrock, bbq meat, rolls and salad and lots of cobblers for dessert.
James and I sat by the Woods', the Penrods', and the Bradys'. As we were eating I noticed that Celine Dion music was playing in the background. I went over to my friend Sister Finnell and asked if she was in charge of the music. I knew she had just been in Texas and gone to a Celine Dion concert. She said yes. I just said I thought she had a beautiful voice and thanked her for her good taste in music.
As we were leaving Kerri asked if we wanted our picture taken at the photo booth set up in the Relief Society room. Like I dummy I said no. I hate having my picture taken but now that I think about it I wish I had done it to have a picture of James and I for my blog.
Oh well. Next time.
At home I did some cleanup and mopped the kitchen floor before James and I settled down to watch a movie. I texted Kaitlin and told them to park on the driveway and come in through the garage because the front was so muddy. They won't be here until after we go to bed because they always make a trip to Walmart before coming here.
The movie we watched was from the Gourmet Detective series on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries starring Brooke Burns and Dylan Neal. This episode was called "Roux the Day." It was good and we both enjoyed it. Afterwards we went to bed. I forgot to walk and ended up with 9,392 steps. If I would have known I was so close to 10,000 I would have walked before going to bed.
It was a great Valentine's Day! Jared's family got their package and Jared thanked me. He also sent me a video of Debbie receiving Randy's gift and note. I guess it was on Azfamily.
I love this!
Why do I like junk food so much.
Does this count as veggies:
Potatoes and cucumbers?
