"To be prepared for war is one of the most
effectual means of preserving peace."
-George Washingtom
This morning I studied 1Nephi 17-18, 2 Nephi 12, Alma 9-10, and D&C 11. I was supposed to have a doctor's appointment at 11:15 but the office called and cancelled. My appointment was with Tiffany, one of Dr. Caldron's assistants and she has a son home sick today. I am re-scheduled for Friday, May 31st.
James and I had lunch together today at one of his favorite fast food places, Quizno's. I had the chicken pesto sandwich. It was pretty good. Afterwards he went back to work and I went shopping for Mother's Day and graduation.
I got a call from Wendy DeWitt, the compassionate service leader in our ward. She wants me to take dinner to Bishop Hall's family on Sunday because the bishop is in the hospital. While I was out shopping I picked up some rolls at Deseret Book. I have a roast at home with veggies that I was going to fix for us but we can have something else and we will take the roast to the Hall's.
I went in to "Things Remembered" and bought birthstone necklaces for Mary Swift and MaKenzi Hunsaker for graduation. I wanted to get something for Lois for Mother's Day but nothing seemed quite right. I finally gave Dawn a call and she said she would like to have James Patterson's new book "The Twelveth of Never" so I went to Barnes & Noble and picked it up. I am sure glad I called.
This evening we picked up machaca burros and tacos at Elmers and headed for Tempe. We spent the evening with Lois. We ate dinner and played Five Crowns. She loved her flowers and book. It was a nice relaxing evening. I told Lois she was the most talented person I know and one of the nicest. I really do have a wonderful Mother-in-law.
Lois and James.
