I love a tiny house with a porch.

I sleep in and then take a shower and wash my hair while James fixes me breakfast.  I think I used this picture before but I am using it again because it is the same breakfast, my favorite!

Yummy!

I did the dishes and the rest of my morning chores, and then I get ready to go to town.  Alex, Michael, and their friend Carter, are coming up today and should be here around 1 p.m.  They will probably bring some food, but I wanted to invite them to eat dinner with us, the reason for the trip to town.  

The boys arrived while I was gone to town.  Before going shopping I stopped by Harold and Vickie's.  Harold made me a bench for Christmas and I am finally going to pick it up.  Stacy borrowed my piano bench, and I am going to use Harold's bench for our piano.  

It was a beautiful day and I sat outside and visited with Dennis, Harold, and Vickie.  Denise was gone to town.  Dennis and Denise are having a birthday party for Kyle's youngest, Maysn who turns four.  Dennis invited us, which I appreciated so much.  

I love the bench from Harold!  Here is how it looks in front of our piano.

This picture makes me smile!

James grilled burgers for everyone tonight.  They were delicious.  Carter mentioned that they were cooked perfectly.  He seems like a very nice young man. 

After dinner, the guys did the dishes

  

I watched a new Valentine's Hallmark movie in our room.  It was one starring Autumn Reeser and her visit to a ranch in Wyoming.  She is one of my favorite Hallmark actresses.

James put on his camo outfit and went coyote hunting.  He didn't come back with anything.  I don't know whether to be sad or glad.  I have to admit that I am a little bit glad.

Happy Birthday to James's sister Carmen.  We sure do miss her!

Mormon 7:7

"And he hath brought to pass the redemption of the world, whereby he that is found guiltless before him at the judgment day hath it given unto him to dwell in the presence of God in his kingdom, to sing ceaseless praises with the choirs above, unto the Father, and unto the Son, and unto the Holy Ghost, which are one God, in a state of happiness which hath no end."

Recently for breakfast I have been having:

 A slice of ham and some hot peppermint tea.

The last couple of months I have lost 12 lbs.

Exciting news for Darrel.  He finally got approval from his insurance to be on Enbrel.  Hopefully it will take effect quickly. 

I spent the day baking cookies to take to the sisters I visit teach.  My schedule went something like this:

9 - Peanut butter zebra cookies, 10 - Chocolate Mint Dreams, 11 - Molasses, 12 - Mexican Wedding cookies, 1 - Snickerdoodles, 2 - Cid Elmer's Peppermint Crunch cookies ( delicious!), 3 - Oatmeal scotchies.  

My first appointment was with Lannie Gillespie around 5pm.  I had originally planned on visiting Lannie tomorrow morning but because the forecast was for several inches of snow this evening, I called to see if I could come by this evening.  My visit was short and sweet.  Next I met my partner Eileen Duggins at Rosie Lauritzen's.  Rosie lives over ten miles away.  I so enjoy visiting with Rosie and Eileen.  Sad to hear that Eileen will be moving in February because they are losing their home.  The message was on the importance of visiting teaching. 

Cookies for Lannie, Rosie, and Eileen.

James called me on the way home from Rosie's.  We talked about the upcoming storm and decided it would be best for him to come home tonight.  Woohoo!

I watched the movie "Matchmaker Santa" while waiting for James to get home.  One of our favorite movies this year was "Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade."  When James got here we watched "Person of Interest", his favorite show on television right now.
