A cloudy morning. We're supposed to get snow today, not sure how much. And pretty cold. It's been between 0 and 10 or so in the mornings lately. We did get an afternoon snow squall. It didn't amount to much and had half cleared up by night.

Laurie did arrive by 8:30 with boxes and in about 30 minutes she had the rest of the books packed and ready to go to the museum. I still have more books than I seem to want, but its not more than I can manage to do something with later. Joe kept back a few he wants to look at.

I planned to get my hair washed, but too many phone calls before, and through the day, and the painting group arrived soon after 10 a.m. We had a great visit, first with coffee and cookies, then into the studio to begin a little artwork. We needed to carry chairs back and forth from the kitchen to the studio and back, but there were enough desks and tables for everyone to work o.k. They brought lunch of potato soup, and peach cobbler both made by Kay, and Melita had gotten up before 6 to make out of this world fresh rolls and cookies. We had a good afternoon painting session, and ended the visit in a special prayer blessing. I was so appreciative for that amazing friendship and support. They also all promised any kind of help. Kay helped me by hauling away a bunch of stuff for the second hand store. Debbie packed my car with more that I will take soon.

Special thanks for the nice and enjoyable day to you all.

I have had such an outpouring of offers for help in any way, driving me to Jackson for chemo, and good wishes and very many suggestions for different kinds of cures, it's almost more than I can absorb. I will also say here I'm so grateful for all the cards and phone calls and for being the subject of so many prayer lists, in four temples and a mass, and everyone praying. It is unbelievable and very appreciated.

Ruth made us two yummy pizzas, and we had the small one for dinner with a salad and put the second one in the freezer for later. It was then I realized had kept her pizza pan so must make sure I return that later. So that was easy. Thank you dear Ruth.
