Debbie woke me a little after 7 am.  We had prayer together, I got dressed and went to the church.  Set up chairs in the overflow, Priesthood, and Relief Society rooms.  I came home and picked Debbie up and we attended Sacrament Meeting in the Lehi 7th Ward.  Then we drove over to Abbington Memory Center for Church.  The Lehi 39th Ward provided priesthood and music for the residents.  After church, we came home and Debbie started dinner and I helped her with cut-outs for one of the games for the children.  I called and talked to Matthew.  The children started coming over about 2:30 pm, Laura, Clara, Allison, George, Samantha, Tyler, Josie, Patrick, Anndalyn, Camdon, Ellie, Autrey, Braddock, Ocie, Jody, Tony, Cache, Clara, Cooper, Kenna, Graceon, Jared, Jami, Porter, Tate, Max, and Jack and two or three other relatives or friends.  Debbie made it special for the children with games and prizes.  Every family brought food, and there so so much Debbie did not put the chicken salad out.  It was about 4 pm before we ate and I was so hungry I ate too much. The last game was with water balloons then came the ice cream desert.  Ryan and Jared cleaned the dishes and kitchen.  When. everyone went home I watched some of the highlights of the 2024 Paris Basketball Olympics with Serbia vs. USA and the finals with France vs. USA.  I called all the children today; Elain's phone fell out of the car and she is using Katie Johnson's phone.  Katie is Robyn's daughter and Elain's granddaughter.  Katie is in NY and has taken Alex's job watching James, Inez, Betty, and Olin, Ryan and Blake's children. It has been a good day.  Debbie and I had prayer before going to bed.
