We don't read much!

We had book club today but we didn't discuss any books.  Funny little book club huh?  I returned a few books that I had read but that's about all we did as far as books were concerned.  Some times it's just harder to read I guess.  In fact, now that Larry is home more I feel like I need to spend time with him.  He enjoys watching a movie at night and that is when I use to read but I have been watching movies with him and will continue to for awhile.  I've missed him and until he starts annoying me (jk) I will watch movies instead of read.  I will find time to read.  I might not have as much as in years past but that's okay I have learned to be flexible.

Today we met at a place that serves Indian food.  It was good but my dish was pretty spicy.  I liked the others better however I ate all mine.  I ordered Mango Chicken thinking it would be sweet and tangy....I couldn't tell it was made from mango....and it wasn't sweet or tangy.  I would go there again and I think I would just get the buffet where there are more choices just in case I  didn't love something.

I love the friendships we have made.  We are all so different in our book club but have bonded with each other.  I admire all these women and enjoy sharing their thoughts and insight .  They are a blessing to me and I am smarter because of the things they have encouraged me to read.

My evening was blessed with a few grands.  I absolutely love when the grands come and play.  I have been blessed with each of them this week.  Oh Happy Happy Day!

Festival of Trees Delivery

I packed up my container of gifts and headed to West Jordan today.  I am responsible for supplying the Gift Shoppe with 15 items to sell.  Thank goodness for some friends that brought me things last year. I saved them for this year since I received them a little late.  I was so glad to have them.  I didn't make anything special  this year.  I will admit I get a little bit stressed with having to take so much.  I don't like asking for help and when I have asked I really haven't got much response.  So I am very thankful for the few that have helped me out.  Now I need to just decide what I will take for the Sweet Shoppe. I do feel good about helping with this wonderful event.  All profits go to the Primary Children's Hospital....everything is donated and so there is lots of profit!

I called Tammy this morning to see if she would like to go with me.  It's a great way to get a visit in. She was able to go and so I picked her up, set the GPS and we were off. (Heather moved when she married and so I had no idea where I was going....I love GPS) I always enjoy visiting with Tammy.  We energize each other and it seems we are able to help each other with our wisdom and experience.

Seeing Heather was great.   Truly it's because of Heather I am even involved in the Festival of Trees.  She asked me to be on her committee and I couldn't say no.  Plus, this way I get to see her a few times before Christmas.  Heather is amazing and inspires me to step up my life.  She's such a positive, busy, kind, spiritual person and I truly love her.  Cindee introduced me to Heather's blog years ago and that is how we met.  Funny how things happen.

Tammy and I made it a day.  I told her that we needed to stop by the Gateway and get some chocolate cake from Tucano's...it's so yummy.  We thought we'd better eat something healthy first and so we stopped and got a salad on our way.  I saw Shelly Green and her daughter Melanie which was kind of funny since we were in West Jordan.  It was nice seeing them even though I had just saw Shelly the day before at our grands Primary Program.  I was able to hug her today which is always nice.  (I love hugs)  After lunch we made it to the Gateway and got our cake to go.  When I dropped Tammy off at home we had a little bit of it.  That cakes lasts me a few days.  It's just so big and hits the spot quick!  I'm glad it's not convenient or close....I can get over it.  Fun Day!
