 Tiny House

James and I read 1 Nephi 18:5-20.  I also ready three conference talks.  There are deer in our yard this morning, two does and two fawns.  No pictures this morning.  

James and I left for town at 2:30.  I dropped him off at Dr. LeSuer's and I drove to Walmart to do my shopping.  When James was finished at the doctor's he walked to Walmart and helped me finish my shopping.  We discovered that Walmart does not have Marsala wine.  We finally asked someone.  We got some grape wine so I can try and make Olive Garden's chicken marsala.

We went to pick up James's prescription at CVS but it wasn't ready.  While we were waiting we went to Sonic and got burgers and a drink.  

When we return home we discover we have deer in our yard again.  There were two does, and a 5x5 buck. James was excited!

He says he is the biggest buck he has ever seen in this area.

Roasted chicken and apple pie for dinner.  James watched the Republican debate and I watched an episode of "The Gourmet Detective" starring Brooke Burns.

"Bearing a load is a necessary and essential part of the plan of happiness.  Because our individual load needs to generate spiritual traction, we should be careful to not haul around in our lives so many nice but unnecessary things that we are distracted and diverted from the things that truly matter most."

-David A. Bednar

James came home to take care of me and now he is sick.  I called and made him an appointment with Dr. Moffat.  

He has an extremely high white blood cell count.  He has a bladder infection and flu like symptoms.  It's a good thing I'm feeling good even without pain medication.  It's not fun when we are both sick at the same time.  

I spent the day putting ice packs on my face, working on my blog, reading and studying and watching BYU devotionals.  I also read to James from Edenbrooke.  

I missed a service project at Mutual tonight.  The youth helped clean Sister Marilyn Tice's yard.  Brother DeWitt told me that the young women were awesome workers and worked harder than the young men.  He attributed it to their leaders but I said we couldn't take the credit and that they had been taught well by their parents.

James's prescription wasn't ready after his doctor's appointment so we went back in to town this evening to pick it up.  As we were leaving there were two deer in our yard.  James was afraid for the little trees that he planted so he chased them away.  

After picking up the antibiotics at CVS we stopped at Sonic for something to eat.  I got a New York dog which has sauerkraut, grilled onions and spicy mustard on it and boy was it delicious!  Maybe I was just extra hungry but it really hit the spot.  

Back at home we watched Rizzoli & Isles.  They said goodbye to officer Barry Frost who was killed in a car accident on the show.  In real life the actor committed suicide.  The grief and sadness portrayed by the actors was real as they mourned the loss of their friend.
