September is James's favorite month in Vernon. This might have something to do with the fact that September is the month that elk start bugling to gather their cow herd. The picture of this elk was taken last September in our yard.
I woke up to an elk bugling this morning very close by. Although I never actually saw him, I did see two cows and two calves playing just off our porch. They were there for a long time until the bull bugled again and they ran off.
I met Harold, Vickie, Dennis, and Denise for my birthday lunch at Licano's today. I wish I had taken a picture. We had a great time talking and laughing and just spending time together. They bought my lunch for me, a chicken enchilada and a taco.
As we were leaving Dennis went to his car and brought a grocery bag filled with all the pieces of my Precious Moment's nativity set that he had gathered after the Pinedale fire. They were some of the only things left after the fire. I am not sure what I am going to do with them.
I went to Ross before going home to get a gift card for Sandra Wilhelm. Trenda suggested that she might like one.
It rained on the trip back to Vernon.
I love the rain!
When I am here by myself I watch more TV. Today I watched a Hallmark movie starring Jaclyn Smith as a judge who takes in a foster child. It was called "Ordinary Miracles." I also watched a movie I had seen before with Dean Cain called "Operation Cupcakes."
I also did some cleaning. I cleaned upstairs and put sheets on the bed downstairs where Jared's friend Camie is going to stay.
News from Chandler: Stacy is starting her dental hygiene job today. Ben and Alex are both scheduled to get their patriarchal blessings. Ben is the Sunday and Alex the next.
Read Alma 63 - Helaman 2 today. Now both Helaman and Moroni, two of my heroes, have died.
I love Elder Holland!
