"Just as a man does not really desire food unti he is hungry,

so he does not desire the salvation of Christ until he knows

why he needs Christ.  No one adequately and properly knows why

he needs Christ until he understand and accepts the doctrine

of the Fall and it's effects upon all mankind."

-President Ezra Taft Benson

James has not been able to use the wireless printer he has here in Chandler for quite awhile.  He even tried to get Adam to fix it but Adam said he couldn't do it either.  I worked on it this morning and was able to get it to work.  To say James is happy is an understatement!

This morning I went with Sheri to Target.  She is discouraged because both Max and Evan are home from school with coughs which means she can't go to work.  She is discouraged.

I came home and fixed chicken salad sanwiches for lunch for James and I using the roasted chicken I bought at Fry's on Saturday night.  

After lunch I went to Penney's, Hobby Lobby, and Target again.  The only thing I bought were birthday cards for Lois, Dawn, and Jared and three $50 giftcards.  Oh yes, and I went to one more place, this time by myself....Frost.  I got salted carmel and hazlenut.  Salted carmel is still my favorite.  

James went to Susan Jacobson's to help her with some home repairs.  I stayed at home and helped Joshua with his homework.

That's Adam holding Skittles

 Weird

I taught Joshua his 9 times tables and showed him how all the answers added up to 9.  He liked that.

Later Joshua came downstairs to play a game on the computer.  Grandpa was working at his computer too.

A tragedy occurred in Ian's family tonight.  His brother JD fell on the back of his head and dislodged his brain.  He passed away around 11pm.

We woke up this morning to rain.  James had to cancel his concrete at Zaki's. 
I went shopping again this morning.  I need ink for our computer printer and Walmart was out.  I went to another Walmart and they were out too so I ended up getting it at Staples.  I also went to the bank and deposited a check from Zaki.  I stopped for lunch at In n Out Burger. 

I stripped wallpaper until 10pm and only got half of the room done.  I guess I will finish next week.
James finally got his gun reloader.  He doesn't have all the components he needs to reload though.  Cabellas says they run out as soon as they get them in.  I guess everyone has the same idea about reloading and buying ammo.  James says George Saros owns most of the ammo manufacturing plants and he will only sell to the government. 

Dallin and Kevin were rehearsing to play at the Ostrich Festival this evening when they got a call that their show was cancelled because of rain.  How sad.

Random post.  My friend Jani Huso from my days growing up in Show Low posted a picture of the old McNary General Store.  We use to do most of our shopping at this store which is no longer there.  It's sad going to McNary now because everything I remember is gone since the lumber mill closed down. 

My brother Harold was born in McNary.
