Roof Is Going On

Today Logan started on the roof. It was so cold I really felt bad for the guys up there. Doesn't it look so sunny and warm. Well looks are deceiving because it was very cold even with this beautiful sunshine. The plumber also started on the plumbing. I did laundry, straighten up the house, made beans and corn bread and watched the workers work. That's what I did today. We are going back to Utah tomorrow and just rest up for a week. It's supposed to be 7 degrees tomorrow so that's too cold for Tommy and I to try to do anything in. Besides we need to get some stuff done at home.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for plumbers and roofers that know what they are doing. I am glad we are able to find workers at reasonable rates. Thanks to Janna and her friends.
Matthew 28 - Mark 1 I love in verse 19 where his disciples are told to teach all nations and baptise them. Same thing we are told to do today.

Sabbath Day

Bailee, Austin and I went to church today. Janna was helping Tommy with more electrical. She had to crawl under the house and run wire for the furnace. Church was good but I had a hard time because I was so tired. Their Stake is indexing 1 million names this year and gave a presentation for the 5th Sunday and invited the youth. It was pretty dry but hopefully someone caught the vision of indexing.
We came home and Gene and Kim came over to visit and then Scott took us to dinner. We had nothing in this house to eat. From now on I am going to make sure we have something to fix for Sunday dinner. If I had realized I would have gotten something yesterday. Lesson learned!!
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the gospel. It's so nice to know that I can walk into any church and feel at home.
Matthew 27 - Matthew 28  This chapter tells of the resurrection of the Savior. I am so glad that I will see my mom again because of the what my Savior did.

Putting up Gang Boxes

Janna, Tommy and I put up the electrical boxes. It was a tab bit cold in the house. The cold wind was blowing through the windows so our hands were freezing but we got a lot of it done. We went into Idaho Falls to take Tommy to lunch for his birthday. The we went to Home Depot so Tommy could buy himself a birthday present. He got some big old drill for making holes in the wall. I liked my Nook better. When we got home we worked some more on the house and when it got too cold for all of us we came in and hung out for the rest of the evening.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for my wonderful daughter and all the hard work she does for us. We really couldn't have done this without all her help. She is the best.
Matthew 27 - Matthew 28  I have a hard time reading this chapter. It's hard to read what the Savior went through when he was crucified.

Running Errand Day

They were still working in the house so we couldn't get in to do the electrical until tomorrow so I'm not going home until next week. Janna and I ran a ton of errands and then I worked on her books. I'm her new bookkeeper, because that's what I did for years. We went to the cannery in Idaho Falls to get pancake mix as it's so much cheaper. We got there 15 minutes after they closed. Drat!!
Now that's been my day. I am beginning to truly love it up here and especially being with my daughter.
Janna made pancakes for dinner and we watched TV and went to bed. A good day.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for the sunshine that appeared for about 2 hours this morning. It just made me happy.
Matthew 26 - Matthew 27  Peter must have felt so bad after the cock crowed and he realized what Jesus had said. That must have been so awful.

Dinner and Home Depot

Today the framers worked on our roof all day. They had to frame where the addition meets Janna house and the garage. I don't know how they can figure all those angles out. Our framer Logan is the one people call when nobody can figure out how to frame stuff. I'm glad I found out about that. We know that it will be right. He gave Tommy a birthday card on his birthday. How sweet is that.
Tommy and I had to go back to Home Depot to get the tar paper and nails and flashing for the roof. We also looked at cabinets and formica samples. I found some I liked but it they are too expensive I'll just go with the premade ready to hang. I found some Hickory ones that I liked and we would just have to put them up on the walls. After we loaded all the stuff up in Tommy's truck we went to KFC for dinner. Ron was taking the kids to dinner and Scott and Janna had bowling so it was just us. We had a fun time. You know you're old when going to Home Depot is considered a date!!
John called to tell me American Idol was on. So I watched the last half. Thank goodness for Dish and prerecorded edisodes. I can watch the first part when I get home. Austin and I played Frontierville after he got home from scouts and Bailee and I watched TV.
Grateful Statement: I am grateful for my Tommy today. I am grateful for all the years we have been together. He has always been by my side through thick and thin, and we have had lots of thicks and thins. I just love that man.
Matthew 25 - Matthew 26 I love verse 40 "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me." Maybe this is why it feels so good to do things for other people. One of my favorite Scriptures!

Happy Birthday to my Hubby

Harley, Bailee and Austin wishing Grandpa a Happy Birthday!

Tommy "Birthday Boy" cleaning up snow so it can dry out in here.

Here come the trusses.

They were able to put the trusses on today. Tommy and I were entertained all day just watching these guys climb all over the top of the walls. I would fall off the very first thing. I cleaned up Janna's house a little and didn't do much of anything. I made Tommy a Birthday Cake because today is his birthday. We sangHappy Birthday to him tonight. He is 73 years old. Wow, how did we get so old. We were young just yesterday! I made Spaghetti and Garlic Bread for dinner and then we sang to Tommy. Now it's bed time.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for a cute little grandson Austin. He is always in a good mood and comes home from school all smiley. He goes straight outside to see if anyone needs his help. Isn't that cute. He seems to have lost his hammer today so he's going to play his DS.
Matthew 24 - Matthew 25  There is a little sentence in the study guide that says, "Treasure the word and you will not be deceived." It is probably because it says the even the elect will be deceived. Makes me know that I need to keep studing my scriptures and not quit....

Going to Home Depot

Daddy Daughter Date to Home Depot

Walls are up, Wahoo!!!

Crazy Snow Dogs, Molly and Maggie

Tommy, Janna and I got up and got ready and went to Home Depot. Tommy got all the electrical for our house. They were supposed to swing the trusses today but it was snowing too hard so they are doing it tomorrow. I couldn't believe it when I got up and it was snowing. I really am getting sick of winter.
When we came back from Home Depot, Janna made some Chocolate Chip Cookies. They were so good. Then we just hung out waiting for the snow to go away.
Molly just loves being with her sister. They run around and play all the time. They both really like running around and eating the snow. I would play ball with them but I don't think they could find it.
I had to go get Harley tonight from Young Women's as she wasn't feeling very good. But by the time I waded through the snow in my slippers and knocked off snow to make my windshield wipers work and finally got going it was almost time for it to be over with. I was so glad the girls in her class came knocking at her door tonight and took her there.
Janna, Bailee and Austin went skiing this afternoon to Kelley's Canyon. They really had fun. Too cold for me or I would have went up and taken pictures. If I ever went out in it I might get used to it.
Grateful Statement: Today I am grateful for Harley Anne. She is such a hard worker. She sets her alarm for 6am every morning and gets up and goes out in the dark to feed all her animals. She is sweet and kind to her grandma.

Matthew 23 - Matthew 24  I learned to "Enlarge the borders of their garments" was when they added tassles and enlarged the borders so they would be more noticeable. Not so humble of an attitude.
