Lazy Day

Lunch

Yesterday I made a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole for dinner. AJ liked it but not Janna. Oh well. So today I had it for lunch with Avacado, Lettuce and Tomatoes topped with Ranch Dressing. It was better today than yesterday. 
I picked up Gracie from school at noon and we went to Broulim's to get stuff to make a freezer meal for Connie. She wants to stock up for the sisters in the ward. I told her I didn't know what it tasted like so she had to make it for her family tomorrow and let me know if it was any good.
When I made meals for the Grace House I bought a freezer meal cook book on line and Janna printed it all out for me. It has some really good stuff in it. So I am going to always have a couple of freezer meals in my freezer so I can take to the sisters who need it.
I have scrapped all of Costa Rica and then I went on my icloud and realized that I didn't have all the pictures in the folders on my desktop. So I may have to redo some of them.
I was very tired today and just couldn't make myself do much. But tomorrow will be better.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Gospel. I realize how very blessed I am to know where we are going, why we are here and where we came from.

Sick Little Gracie

Janna left this morning to take Gracie to school but a little later she returned with Gracie in tow. She had thrown up in AJ new car. Thank goodness she is a good thrower upper and Janna caught it all in a hat. So she spent the day laying on my couch watching TV. She finally started feeling good around noon. And then she was on the mend.
I spent the day making a Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole and Amish Country Bread for the family. I ate the casserole and liked it. It's not one of my very favorites. I think I would prefer a patty with cheese on it between two leaves of lettuce. But Ruth and I decided we would try new recipes.
I scrap booked some more Costa Rica pictures. Now it's late and I am tired so I'm going to bed.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for my sweet little Gracie. She is so sweet and she just makes me know how blessed I am to have her in my life.

Beautiful Sabbath

Sue Teaching

I went to church today. The speakers were good. One of them talked about what we should be doing during the Sacrament. We need to give our full attention to the bread and water and really think about what they represent. I am going to work on that.
Then it was off to Primary. We only had 5 little Sunbeams today. Sue taught the lesson and it was really good. I know she would like to be in Relief Society and I am glad she is willing to be my team teacher.
I came home and read the lesson for this week in the Come Follow Me manual. I love that we are doing this as a church. We all  know what we should be learning.
Then I watched "The Great Baking Show". I love this show but it makes me want to bake.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the Sabbath day each week. I am blessed to feel so refreshed after church.

Tommy's 81 Birthday

Janna and Gracie

I had tons of things to get done today. I went a baby shower for Cynthia Ralphs in our ward. Connie and I stayed for an hour and then spent an hour in her driveway talking about her trip to Hawaii. It was fun to have her back.
Today is Tommy's 81 birthday so I made him Biscuits, Eggs and Sausage Gravy. He is sick with a cold so he didn't want to go out to dinner. Janna and Gracie made him a Cheese Cake for his birthday cake. 
I made Cinnamon Rolls this afternoon. They were fun to make. I took them to Janna's for her family. I was not about to eat any of them. It's fun to bake stuff and I am not tempted at all. I think 5 months on Adkins has worked.
I looked out the back door today and there was Janna and Gracie in the hot tub. They didn't last very long. I think it was pretty cold.
That's been my day. I have scrapped a little tonight and watch TV. Now it's time to go to bed and read my scriptures.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my dear Hubby. He has always taken such good care of me. Blessed to be sealed to him in the Temple.

Off To Work

 Frozen Snake River

 Giant Grain Silo's

My Final Destination

I went to work this morning and took a few pictures on the way. It is just foggy and white everywhere. I guess it's winter after all. I was the first one here so I had to get the code for the front door from Brenda to get in. I finished entering the Credit Card charges so I could go home early. The accountant is coming to do the year end stuff. So I worked until 1:45 and then I packed up my stuff and went home. 
I went into Idaho Falls to Staples to get my new office chair that AJ put together for me, and a rolling computer for traveling. It was such a relief to get this done. Then I went to Walmart and got a baby gift for a baby shower I am going to tomorrow. 
Came home and did a little scrapping and now it's time for bed.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the snow. I love living where there is snow in the winter. What a blessing the season's are.

Foggy Day

 Costa Rica

I got up and got my shower today and picked up Karen and it was off to work I went. We went by the bank and post office to make deposits and mail statements. I spent the day sending out more statement and calling people to get payments. 
I started at 9am and left at 7pm. Long day and my body feels it. 
It was so foggy on the way home I could hardly see the road. I stopped at the Osgood Store and got milk for Tommy. Thank goodness for convenience stores.
I came home and sauted some chicken and had a bowl of Cauliflower and Cheese Soup. Delicious.
I scrapped a little more and watched some TV. Now it's time to go to bed so I can get up and go to work tomorrow for half a day.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for my job and the ladies I work with. I am blessed with this opportunity to earn extra income.

Working Today

 Karen and Brenda

 My Desk

New Temple Bag

I went to Ashlyn today's to get my hair cut. She is so sweet. I just love how she cuts my hair.
After I got done with my hair I went to Deseret Book Store and bought a new Temple Bag with the gift certificate that Dean and Amie gave me for my birthday. 
I went to work after I got my Temple Bag and worked until 6:30. I organized and filed truck files. I finally remembered to get pictures. It really is fun to work with these ladies. And I make good money. So it's a win, win.
I took Karen home after work so her hubby wouldn't have to  come and get her. When I got home I made some Wisconsin Cheese and Cauliflower Soup. I needed something for my lunch tomorrow. So now I think it's time to go to bed and get some sleep after I read another chapter of the Book of Mormon.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful that I am able to still work at 73 years old. I am blessed to still be able to do what I want.
