James and I gave each other haircuts yesterday so we looked 'spiffy" going to Church today.
Stacy had to stay home with Josh who had a fever so Dallin and Michael came to Church with me. (Paul goes to the 9 am meeting because he has work at noon). James and I went up to sit by Dallin and Michael during sacrament meeting and they got up and left. James went out in the foyer and ask them to come back but they were "no shows." I must say I was rather hurt and offended. They pretty much made a joke out of it when we ask them why they did it. I can't remember when I've been more disappointed in these two.
We had our Lambson FHE this evening. There were 19 of us in attendance and we had a great time. Our family home evening theme for the year is faith and obedience. Addy sang "I Am A Child of God" Dallin sang "How Great Thou Art" and Joe and Dallin sang while Dallin played the piano and Joe played the guitar.
We really miss Jared and Tricia's family!

The highlight of my day was watching the Trezise boys, Ben and Max play football. Ben threw a pass to his buddy Ian Wanlass who caught it one handed in the air and ran for the touchdown. Ian also made the extra point.
Max made the first touchdown of the game in his game on the second play of the game. Both boys can catch, throw and play defense. It made my day to watch them play! (Someday I will have some pictures on this blog.)
James is selling another trailer today. This one will go for $1,800.00 Hey, whatever it takes to pay the bills. (He just threw 1800 cash on my desk!)
Nathan, Terry's son, wants to buy one and maybe both of the lots we have left in the neighborhood. Hurray!
Quote of the day:
"Happiess is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness and keeping all the commandments of God." - the Prophet Joseph Smith

No walk to Walmart this morning. I was just too tired. I went back to bed for an hour and then went outside to work in the yard.
Sheri invited me to go to the movies today with her and Christy Wanlass and Drea Boles. We saw "One for the Money." A little crude but quite entertaining. Stacy was nice to watch Evan. Speaking of Stacy, she got her license today so it's official she's a dental hygienest! Now if she can only find a job.
Adam and friends made it safely to the cabin at around 2am. One of the cars didn't make it the last 100 yards. There is snow, James sent me a picture. While James was making steak, gravy and biscuits for breakfast the electricity went off. It was a loose wire out in the fuse box. It's a good thing grampa was there to fix it.
I am off to Dave and Laura's in a few minutes to play 5 Crowns!

James went on my walk with me again this morning. It was fun having him with me. I gave him a shopping assignment in Walmart and he had to have a little help. He's not the experienced shopper that I am.
Trina is such a sweetie. She came over this afternoon and helped me pack some things in the kitchen pantry. I got some big moving boxes at Sam's Club and it really got me in the mood for packing. The hard part is knowing what to keep, what to give away, and what to throw away.
James left for the cabin this afternoon. Adam is going up with some friends tonite and James is going up to get things ready for them. He is also cooking them steak, gravy and biscuits in the morning. What a guy! He was sad that I wasn't going but I really didn't want to. I told him it was a guy bonding trip.

"Only through repentance do we gain access to the atoning grace of Jesus Christ and salvation."
I took my Walmart plastic bag on my walk this morning and filled it up with garbage. Most of it came this side of the trailer park (Sunshine Valley) wall.
The cars continue to stream through the Starbucks drive thru between 6am and 7am. That must be when they do the bulk of their business.
Today was a busy day. This morning after my "chores" I visit taught Christy Wanlass. Afterwards I came home and made finger sandwiches and went with Laura to our ward's Relief Society birthday luncheon at Judy Pargetter's. We had a good turn out: Judy and her daughter Michelle Thompson, Julie Jacobs, Leesa Farr, Jackie Hall, Inger and Julie Johansen, Jill Lueck, Rachel Hill, Debbie Lieb, Adrienne Ellsworth, Drea Boles, Janny St. Onge, Jocie Bogner, and Laura and I. The food was good and so was the company.
At 2 pm I had an appointment at Dr Douglas's to have my teeth cleaned by Jackie, the hygienest. She said my gums looked good.
For dinner James and I had our delayed Valentine's date at one of our favorite restaurants, Black Angus. We got the special which included an appetizer, fried zucchini and fried mushrooms, an entre' with two sides. I had the New York steak, a baked potato and green beans. James had the prime rib, steak soup and broccoli. For dessert we brought home cheesecake with strawberry sauce.
Now James is gone to Mutual and I have an hour or so by myself.

I found this quote in this month's Ensign. It was in an article about the saints in Ecuador.
"Our happiness doesn't depend on material things, says Oscar Reyes, age 15, "but in how we live our lives. That's why I keep the Sabbath day holy, because it is pleasing to God. And that's why I will serve a mission and why I like serving others."
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY,AND ARIZONA AND CHANDLER'S 100TH BIRTHDAYS!!
It was cool and overcast this morning. James went for a walk with me. We walked to the Subway near our house and had breakfast. I had an omlet with bacon and cheese on flatbread and it was quite tasty. It was fun to have my sweetie walk with me.
Trina and the kids came over this afternoon and brought us some delicious popcorn for Valentine's day. It was so fun to see them and I gave each of them their Valentine's from us.
Kim and Joe also came over. I gave Kim Joe's Valentine bag of candy because he doesn't eat sweets anymore. What a good example he is. I wish I could do that.
Laura and I took dinner to our nieghbors Joe and Diana Johnston this evening. Diana had a 9lb 90z. baby boy on Sunday. We got to see the baby. He's really cute with dark hair. I made Kempton goulash. I also took them some french bread and sugar cookies from Walmart. Laura made a salad.
I made Kempton goulash for James too. He loves it. Afterwards he did the dishes and made me chocolate covered strawberries. For lunch we had hot and sour soup from Sun's Chinese. It was a hot and sour soup kind of day.

I walked with my friend Karen Schneider today at the mall. It's been a while since we've spent any time together so it was nice to reconnect.
I made bags of candy to give to the grandkids this afternoon. I am sending sour patch kids candy to the kids in Texas.
I told James we were short of money for this week's bills. He said, don't worry something will come up. Later in the day Owen came by and gave my a check to cover our bills and more.
This evening James, Michael, Paul, Stacy, Tara and I attended the Chandler High School Spring Pop Concert. Dallin sang "The Only Exception" and accompanied himself on the guitar. He did a great job! There were quite a few talented performers on the program. One of my favorite was a girl who sang "The Girl in 14G."
