How Can I Understand?

"Our purpose as we seek to learn and to teach the gospel of Jesus Christ must be to increase faith in God and in His divine plan of happiness and in Jesus Christ and His atoning sacrifice and to achieve lasting conversion. Such increased faith and conversion will help us make a genuine spiritual transformation in us - in other words, transforming us into a new creature, as taught by the Apostle Paul in his epistle to the Corinthians. This transformation will bring us a more happy, productive, and healthy life and help us to maintain an eternal perspective."

Happy 51st Wedding Anniversary to us!

Just a couple of kids

James made me breakfast this morning: sausage, an omelet, hashbrowns, toast with cherry jam, and orange juice. Best of all he cleaned the kitchen afterwards!

Before the sausage and toast came

He posted on Facebook about our anniversary and is trying so hard to make it special. He asked me what I wanted to do. I told him I just wanted to stay home this morning and then go to the 1:00 temple session, have lunch at Charlie Clark's, and then go on a ride up in the mountains. He was okay with that and went in to take a nap while I did some walking and working on my blog and books.

When we were getting ready to leave for the temple I asked James to get my bag while I got a drink, he said he would. I got my drink and went to the car and when he came out he was carrying a bag and I thought it was mine. When we got to the temple and I asked for my bag from the back seat he said, it's not here. I guess that was his bag he was carrying to the car. I reminded him I had asked him to get my bag. It was too late for me to go in and try to find a dress, etc., so we just left. He felt terrible, but I did not get upset with him. I told him it was okay and that we would go Tuesday. I did not want to destroy all of the good feelings we have had by getting angry. I guess it was partly my fault too, I should have made sure my bag was in the backseat before we left.

We drove from Snowflake to Pinetop to Charlie Clark's and got there around 2 p.m. I ordered a steak and a baked potato and James got the salmon salad. We sat out on the patio in plastic chairs. Everyone says this is the best place to get a steak in the White Mountains but I have never been here and it's been here forever.

My steak was delicious and James's salmon was good. We were disappointed that they didn't serve any bread with our meal but maybe that's because we were still on the lunch menu. We shared deep dish peach pie with ice cream for dessert.

Pretty tasty

After lunch we drove up to Paradise Creek. James wanted to find the tree where he carved our initials about 55 years ago. We didn't find the tree but we saw some beautiful country.
