James was planning on going to the Howard's this morning to look at a "leaky" window. I was going to stay home and work on my book business. I got a call from Sister Howard, my dear friend. She asked if I would come with James when he comes and we could have some tea. (Herbal tea please!)  She said, "If you aren't too busy." How could I say I was too busy? I told her I would be there.

We left around 9:30 for the Howard's. I got to see our mare that they are giving us. She was out in the field with friends. I thought, "when she comes to our house she will be alone." Her name that the Howard's have given her is Mirage. We may change that.

We stayed well over an hour visiting with Jean and Tom. Tom has some work for James to do. I'm not sure when he will start. Jean fixed both James and I chamomile tea. 

When we left the Howard's we drove straight to Home Depot where James had to pick up some items to finish the corral he is building. I waited in the car. It looked like business as usual at Home Depot. Some of us seem to be ignoring the governor's Stay at Home order. James was gone for quite some time. I was getting impatient and called him. He said he was in the line to check out. He apologized for taking so long.

On the way home we stopped at Taco Bell for our taco and bean burrito. It really is the cheapest place to get lunch on the mountain.

At home I went to my place on the couch for some rest and relaxation. I finished watching a Winterfest Hallmark movie starring Taylor Cole and Ryan Pavey. As I was sitting there I kept trying to think of a name for the horse. I don't know why but I began thinking about "The Lone Ranger and Tonto." It seemed to me that Tonto had a paint horse. I looked it up on Google. He did, and the horses name was Scout. I thought, but Scout is not a girls name. Then I thought of Scout Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird." I thought, yes, Scout is a good name. I told James and he really liked it. I said, do you know where I got the name Scout? He said, "Scout was the name of Tonto's horse." As a kid he was a fan of the Lone Ranger. 

I texted Addy. She liked the name Scout too. I told her that the Howard's called her Mirage. She liked that name too. Scout Mirage Lambson. Somehow Scout and Mirage don't go together.

This evening after work James and I watch another Winterfest Hallmark movie starring Italia Ricci, Chad Michael Murray, and Jack Turner. Neither one of us could remember watching it when it came out in January. In the movie there was a dog named Luna. I liked that name. I thought, Luna Mirage Lambson sounds good. I told James, he still likes Scout but Addy loved it like I do! I think we've found a name!

I tried to prepare one of my three book shipments for shipping but Amazon is still not allowing it. I guess I will have to wait until after the 5th to even prepare my shipments. 

I washed the sheets that go on our bed today. I didn't replace them because I thought it would be easier for James and I to do it together before we went to bed. After our movie James went in to make some tea. As I was walking to the bedroom I said, "Oh James, we have to put the sheets on the bed. Much to my surprise when I got in our room, the sheets were on the bed, and the bed was turned down. I guess James did it after he took his shower. It's the little things that count!

It was a gorgeous day today. The high was sixty five, no wind, and lots of sunshine. Perfect for James working outside.

We are so excited for General Conference tomorrow!
