Thursday, January 15th, 2026: Inklings, Testimony - Emily & Tanna, Wow! 15,000 steps, two blogposts, two tacos, a trip to town with my Sweetie

A few years ago at the 
Snowflake temple.

I felt anxious this morning but listening to Inklings helped me. 
It was Emily & Tanna talking about Elder Kevin Brown's talk, "The Eternal Gift of Testimony." Wow! Their discussion was amazing. Also, Emily's daughter Grace, just got engaged and somehow a helicopter was involved.

Today is 40 cents off a gallon day at Circle K. James didn't think he had enough gas in his truck to get to town so he put in about a half gallon that he had at home. The gauge said he could go 23 miles, which got him to the White Mountain gas & carwash where he put in a gallon or two. At Circle K he filled up. 

After filling up with gas I wanted to try the El Charro in Pinetop because my friend Janna says it is better than the one in Show Low.
I had a carnitas taco and a pastor taco. They both came with guacamole and were delicious. James had a chicken enchilada with green sauce and a side of refried beans. He said neither one of them was as good as La Casita or Eva's.  We probably won't be coming back, at least for quite awhile.

It was a beautiful 58 degrees sunny day and we enjoyed being out and about. Our next stop was at Home Depot where James needed to get some screws for the Applegate job. I went in with him and was shocked that a small box of screws cost $16.48, probably more than a dollar a screw. 

In Walmart we got cat food. I wanted to get to small bags but James says the bigger bag is more economical, so he hefted a big $18.97 bag in to our basket.

On the way out we saw T-Bo shopping by himself. When I asked where Barbara was, he said she went to the temple with the Relief Society sisters this morning. I ask who she rode with and he said, "Judy Hunter."

I watched the latest episode of "When Calls the Heart" which featured the Goldie Park fire. I walked 15,000 steps and blogged two days, I guess you could say it was a good day for me, in some respects anyway.

Bert Carpenter is supposed to be sending us a list of items he needs from us to start the wheels on the reverse mortgage. I am very anxious to get started. 

I talked to JoNell today from the office of Tommy Thompson about our Downwind case. She says there are three priority cases and ours is one of them. Mr. Thompson actually called the Justice Department today to check on progress.

James called Willy today about bringing the Razr in to be welded and Willy said he could not do it today. He said they are leaving for Quartzite in the morning and he will be gone for a week. They take their travel trailer and go every year for a week in January with Ralph & Cheryl Sedig. This year the Beckham's are going to. I guess James will have to catch him when he returns.

Sheri rescheduled my eye appointment for the 11th of February, the same day as my infusion and a trip to the Gilbert temple early the morning of the 12th.

"I extend an earnest invitation to all of us to adorn our minds and hearts with the Christlike virtue of temperance."
