James has been doing an elk watch every morning and then reporting to his brother Dave.  Dave and Terry are coming up here for an elk hunt the day before Thanksgiving.  This morning he saw 30 head.  Most of the time they are cows but occasionally he sees a big bull like this one.
 
This morning for scripture study we read James 1 and Alma 32-33.  
James has a dry throat and is worried about teaching his Sunday School lesson this week.  I said a prayer for him.  He refuses to go to the doctor because he says in the past the doctors have not helped him.  
 
I am thankful for a kind and loving husband.  Today he drove my partner, Lorraine Tieman, and I to do our visiting teaching.  We were gone three hours and traveled over 60 miles.  We visited Hailey Chaffin and Elida Pope.  I was afraid I would not be able to find my way to Elida's and that's the reason James came.  
These are the handouts Cathi made for me.
Filled with Hershey kisses
I gave each of them a little skillet with a cookie mix and said: just as this mix has the potential to become something divine, a cookie, we each have a divine nature that we must work to develop.  We can become divine like our Heavenly Father.

It was a gorgeous day with the high around 60 and plenty of sunshine.  
Since we didn't have lunch before we left we were starving when we got home.  I had put some pork chops in the crockpot before we left.  We gobbled them down.  They were delicious!

I took a nap and was pretty lazy the rest of the day.  This evening we watched a couple of Christmas movies:
"Tis the Season for Love", and "Battle of the Bulbs".

I went for a walk this morning for about 35 minutes.  I am gradually working up to 1 hour and hopefully will be able to go 3 miles and burn 300 calories.
James gets up in the morning and after breakfast and scriptures he takes his meds and lays down for a nap.  This morning he slept until 11 and then decided it was time to get up and work on payroll.  It took a long time because he had to email about sixteen pages to John at the payroll company.  We have two new guys who are not in the system.
The weather is absolutely gorgeous.  It clouds up and rain s and cools down to 70 degrees.  I feel like I am in heaven.  James took me to lunch at El Rancho today and I discovered their shrimp tacos.  Delicious!
Some of the things I did today: made chocolate chip and peanut butter chip cookies using a new receipe that calls for pudding.  They were quite tasty.  Talked to my friend Karen Schneider.  Played Scramble on my phone, watched Foodnetwork, and watched Misty Mae and Kerri win another volleyball match.  They play for the gold tomorrow against the other team from the US.  Go Misty and Kerri!
My yummy cookies.  Thanks Marci Coombs for the receipe!
