Prioritized Daily Task

I did not eat dinner in preparation for fast Sunday today.  I had a good night sleep.  I was afraid I had over done it yesterday and would be more sick with a chest cold and coughing last night.  Ryan, Stepahanie and the children are up and everyone is getting ready for church at 10:30 AM.  We attended sacrament meeting and Debbie and I shared our testimonies with the ward; Bishop Yates conducted. The Knutsons took care of church services this Sunday at the Abbington Memory Center.  Debbie and I will handle it next Sunday, January 9th.  The family came over, Tony, Jody, and their children including Aspen, George, Laura, and their children including Samantha and Tyler, Patt, Anndalyn, their children and Lynden, Anndalyn's; everyone except Jared, Jami and their children, came over for brunch.  I called and talked to Beth and her children who had got as far as St. George,  Rae Lynn, Brett, and their boys who were not far behind Beth, all on their way home in California.  They should be home this afternoon or evening.  I talked to Matthew, Melodie, and the girls; they were on their way to the SLC Airport to take Reg and Patt who are flying back to Fresno, CA today.  Ryan and Stephanie were the last to leave with their children, Kylie, Abby, Carter, Mackay, and Andrew.  They stayed and helped clean and pickup before they left.  Tyler helped me earlier take the folding tables out to the garage and put them up.  Jared and Jami said they did not need any food and we don't need to bring anything over.  We sacked up, double plastic bag, five bags of potatoes from the 78 lbs. for each family. Reed gave us when we were last up to visit.  Debbie and I watched Tom Pettit's, Porter Rockwell: Defender of the Faith, the first of this year's series I purchased.  Debbie and I listened to the first half while she packed and got ready.  She left to drive up to Shelly at 5:30 PM.  She is going to spend the week taking care of her mother, who seem to be doing better since she has been taking the antibiotics the the doctor ordered.  We had prayer together before she left.  I read, studied, and listed to Come Follow Me scriptures and stories before going to bed.

We had so many cars with family visiting and neighbors with family and visitors there was not enough room on our street and people parked their cars on Courtyard Drive.
