Sheri's quote:
I love the words of President Ezra Taft Benson
concerning prayer. He said:
"All through my life the counsel to depend
on prayer has been prized above almost
any other advice I have received.
It has become an integral part of me ---
an anchor, a constant source of strength,
and the basis of my knowledge of things divine. ...
Though reverses come, in prayer we can find
reassurance, for God will speak peace
to the soul. That peace, that spirit of serenity, is life's
greatest blessing."

I went to bed with my right knee hurting, and it is still hurting this morning. I was going to stay for the kids ballgames but decided it was just too hot and if I left this afternoon I might be too tired to drive, so I began packing up my car this morning. Stacy was up and helped me pack the car. Thanks Stacy.
Just as I was leaving, James decides once again that he would rather come with me than drive the truck and trailer. I help him finish sweeping leaves on the front sidewalks and then go to Sonic to get a drink while he puts in a GFI plug in Dallin's bathroom.
We finally left around 11:30 am. Goodbye Holly.
The princess is asleep.
Our first stop is Burger House. We each got a burro to eat today and one for lunch tomorrow. We sat outside on the patio of Burger House because of our new rule not to eat in my car. It's a good thing we did because James's burro was extra messy.
Our next stop was the Walmart in Globe for Fix-a-Flat for the Razr, almond M&M's (James's idea), and a planning calendar for me.
I read some more from "The Baron's Honourable Daughter", and then I took a nap - it's the best way to do Salt River Canyon.

James says he was caught in the current under these
falls when he was in high school and thought
he was going to drown.
It was a little warm when we arrived in Vernon but it cooled down rather quickly. James discovered something exciting...we have pinions on our pinion trees. They only produce about every 7 years and it's usually after a rainy year or two.

I missed probably the best soccer game of the season. They boys team won 14-2. Rowan made five goals and Evan made one. Joshua stopped some balls. They all three had a great game!
Go Revolution!
James fixed dinner while I watched and listened to the General Women's session of conference.

Back in Chandler Stacy says she can't bear to tell these boys about us selling our house because they spend almost every waking moment together.
