James brought home two checks that he was suppose to deposit before he left Chandler, but he forgot.  We needed to go into town today to deposit them.  We hadn't made any definite plans as to when we were going to go until Kilee Hunsaker called  and asked if she could get a ride to the Stanford store at the Y.  She was going to meet a friend there.  I asked her when she wanted to leave and she said around 11.
When we went to pick up Kilee she came out and said she couldn't get in touch with her friend but could she come to town with us.  Her family was going snow mobiling wih the DeWitt's and I was surprised Kilee didn't want to go with them.  Of course she could go with us if she wanted.
Our first stop in town was Chase bank.  National bank was closed so I will have to come back on Monday to make that deposit.  Our next stop was LaCasita for lunch.  I told Kilee this was Sister Nicoll's favorite restaurant.  We texted her to find out what her favorite food was and that's what Kilee ordered.  It was a chicken enchilada with green sauce.  I got a tamale and some sopapillas to share and James got a green chili burro enchilada style.  The food tasted especially good on such a cold day.

We did a little shopping at Walmart and then headed back to Vernon.  Kilee ask if she could come over for awhile.  Although I had planned on spending the afternoon preparing for tomorrow's young women lesson I said she could.  We watched Mr. Popper's Penguins and played 5 Crowns.  When I told Kilee it was time to go home she wanted to spend the night.  I had to decline.  I need some time to myself to prepare for tomorrow.
James and I watched the latest episode of "Elementary" before going to bed.  We both have early meetings tomorrow.

Love this picture taken in front of the cabin.

I made blueberry muffins for Alex, and poppyseed almond muffins for James this morning.  Of course I shared them with everyone.  I also cooked some ham for everyone.  It was a casual, relaxing day. 
Kim and I played a game of 5 Crowns.  Brian won. 
Kim and Brian wanted to go on a Ranger ride up on the mountain to see the leaves but the Ranger was out of gas.  The boys took a few too many rides yesterday.  Brian went in to Vernon to get some gas but the station had no gas.  I told Kim they could take my car. 
Joseph and Michael were in a silly mood. 

This afternoon around 5pm. Kim, Brian, James and I went to the Vernon Park for an advertised Navajo Taco dinner.  Brian paid for us.  Thanks Brian.  The tacos were delicious!  Afterwards Kim, Brian, and I got fry bread with honey and powdered sugar to take home.  The perfect dessert!
Alex and Grandpa went out looking for coyotes this evening.  They shot one but it was too dark to find so they are going back in the morning.
Kim and Brian watched the movie The Avengers.  James and I watched the first episode of the new season of The Mentalist.

Since today is Friday the 13th I thought of my Mom.  She was born on September 13th and always said Friday the 13th was her lucky day.
I went in to town today to get buttermilk so I could make my pancakes for the Trezise family before they leave tomorrow.  When I returned I played a game of Five Crowns with Kim, Sheri, Michael, and Joe.  I won. 
Soon it was time for Kim, Joe, and Michael to leave.  The boys have been up here for two weeks and I think they were ready to go home.  Michael said he missed Holly and Joe missed his cats. 
I think Darrel's kids had fun with the older boys while they were here.  They played store, using nails as a means of exchange and they played "who will marry the princess" with Addy as the princess.  They also had a blast with the bows and arrows that Trina got for her kids.  Sheri and I went on a hunt for more bows and arrows but it ended up being a wild goose chase. 
Trina and Darrel left home for the weekend so that left Sheri and I to fix dinner.  We had some delicious grilled chicken.
The big news of the week is that James's phone broke and he ended up getting an iphone.  Now if we can just get him on facebook he will have joined the 21st century.

No walk to Walmart this morning. I was just too tired. I went back to bed for an hour and then went outside to work in the yard.
Sheri invited me to go to the movies today with her and Christy Wanlass and Drea Boles. We saw "One for the Money." A little crude but quite entertaining. Stacy was nice to watch Evan. Speaking of Stacy, she got her license today so it's official she's a dental hygienest! Now if she can only find a job.
Adam and friends made it safely to the cabin at around 2am. One of the cars didn't make it the last 100 yards. There is snow, James sent me a picture. While James was making steak, gravy and biscuits for breakfast the electricity went off. It was a loose wire out in the fuse box. It's a good thing grampa was there to fix it.
I am off to Dave and Laura's in a few minutes to play 5 Crowns!
