Restoration Proclamation

P3S1 - In humility, we declare that in answer to his prayer, God the Father, and His Son Jesus Christ, appeared to Joseph and inaugurated the "restitution of all things" (Acts 3:21) as foretold in the Bible.

James left this morning for the valley. He is going down for a concrete pour of the driveway of one of Chacon's houses. He is also going to see his mom and Dawn for their birthdays, and he is going to look for a truck. A lot to do in one day. I stayed home to get ready for our company. Sheri texted me today and said they were coming up tonight. There will be nine people and two dogs.

I got my Book Profits account reinstated today. It is costing me $197.00 a month. I should have been paying this all along. I'm not sure what account they used before. I need to check in to it.

I repriced today, bought a couple of books, and while doing so I listened to Inklings Institute.

I watched a new Hallmark movie on the movies and mysteries channel. It reminded me of Heartland only this was better. Jon Voight and James Caan plus Teri Polo were in it. I like all three of them.

This afternoon I went downstairs and put clean sheets on the bed, hung fresh towels and did a general cleanup of the bedroom down there.

I also went upstairs and cleaned. Since there are nine people coming I made sure James's office was cleaned too. James got home this evening just as I was finishing up. He was anxious to read a chapter or two from "English Trifle" because in the last chapter Sadie was locked in the vegetable cooler. He brought me a taco from Taco Bell. He also picked up a watermelon and cranberry celebration from the Fry's in Globe.

Today was another beautiful day here in Vernon where the high was around 75 degrees. No rain in sight though. I am praying for it. We need it so badly.

Happy Birthday to James's Mom!

She turned 93 today.

A Bicentennial Proclamation To The World

P2S2

He had questions regarding the salvation of his soul and trusted that God would direct him.

As I woke up this morning I remember something my friend Ruth Gale did when her kids still lived at home. She wrote on the ceiling over their bed: "Roll out on your knees." Ruth was so creative and clever. She was definitely one of the people I looked up to while living in Chandler. Now she lives in Snowflake and I still get to see her from time to time.

I got my book shipment all boxed up and ready to ship. I also sold a merchant fulfilled book and got it ready to go too. I put plastic bags over some of my merchant fulfilled books outside in the garage to keep them from getting dusty. 

Alex found James a truck online. A 2019 crew cab 4WD 2500 for $28,000. I told James he better hurry and call on it because it would be gone quick. He did, it was, already gone. 

James borrowed Chuck's truck and trailer to go to town today. He had to pick up more pipe for the fence so that's why he needed the trailer. I went with him because we want to buy a dog kennel for Sheri's dog who are coming up with them this weekend. James saw one at Tractor Supply this week when he went into town in the car but couldn't get it because it wouldn't fit in the car. When we went by today, the kennel was gone. They had one for $300 but James didn't want to spend that much. We checked at Cal-Ranch but they had the same one Tractor Supply had for $300. I tried to talk James into getting the $300 kennel but he did not want to spend that much money.

I was sad. I really wanted to do this for Sheri. I didn't come home completely empty handed thought. I did go to Walmart and get another garbage can. 

Taco Bell is changing their menu. James stopped and went in to order us a couple of Mexican pizzas but they said they no longer have those. His other favorites are the chicken quesadilla, and the crunch wrap which are both gone. He got us some crunchy tacos because they don't have tostados either. How lame. Anxious to see if their new menu items are any good.

Read from "English Trifle." It is starting to get good. Sadie is locked in a vegetable locker with John Henry who is dead.

Chuck's truck is old, probably almost as old as Lexy but it is immaculately clean. He takes such good care of it and I told James he could not eat in it. I am a hypocrite because I ate my two tacos while waiting for him at Tractor Supply. I was very careful not to make a mess. I didn't want James to eat while he was driving.

Book Profits, the name of the company that trained me in the book selling business, has locked me out of their site. I have not been charged any fees for the last year so I thought maybe the $197 a month fee was only for the first year. I guess they tried to charge my credit card they have on file but since it is an old one it did not go through. Even though I think $197 a month is a little steep, if I am going to continue doing the business I need their research software to buy new books. I sent an email to the support team. They tell me to go on the site and register a new credit card. I would be happy to do that if I could get on the site!!

I was going to come home and clean downstairs and in our bedroom and bath but it was later than I had anticipated and I was too tired. James and I both took a quick nap on the recliners. When my nap was over I blogged and walked. That's all for today folks.

A Bicentennial Proclamation To The World

P2S1 Two hundred years ago, on a beautiful spring morning in 1820, young Joseph Smith, seeking to know which church to join, went into the woods to pray near his home in upstate New York, USA.

Happy Birthday Dawn Lambson!

We hope you have a wonderful day!

 James is frustrated because he has no cord for the camera. He got some pictures of elk this morning with his phone but it just isn't the same.

I think these last two photos are from last year

James brings my morning tea to my desk just about every morning.

This morning it came with watermelon.

My breakfast spread. 

James went to town this morning to get a new tire for his Cat. I stayed home and made a stew. When he got home he was hungry and had some of the stew before it was done. I think he had at least two bowls full, maybe three. 

While James did some truck shopping online I read to him from "English Trifle."I relaxed on the recliner and watched part of "DWTS", Disney night. I then did some walking and listened to my new audio book on DeseretBookPlus,"The Gents, Forget Me Not."

I cleaned all of the books that I am sending in to sell that needed to be cleaned. I will box them up and make labels tomorrow.

While James was outside working this afternoon I cleaned the floors in the family, living room, the kitchen, dining, hall, hall bathroom, laundry, and entryway. I vacuumed the rugs and used Mop and Glow on the tile. It looks so nice.

Sheri texted me that she got a new car today. Here is the email she sent me:

"I got a car! It's a VW Atlas. Best car buying experience of my life. Also I did it alone - I didn't have Ian c0-sign. I texted with two different dealerships all day and Earnhardt's knocked $2k off the price so I went with them, It can set up to 7 and has more room that the Highlander, which is what I wanted. Plus it's cheaper. They were wanting to make deals since it was the last day of the month and they needed to meet quotas. I only spent an hour at the dealership."

Congratulations Sheri! Now if James could just find a truck.

I found out tonight  that we got a new stake patriarch. His name is Matthew Charles Greer. Our previous patriarch, Brother Toronto, is a counselor in the new Snowflake temple presidency.
