A busy and productive day.  I made two batches of zucchini bread.  The first batch, two loaves, came out before 9am.  James and I sampled one load and I took the other loaf to Linda Diewald, on of the sisters I visit teach.  I used the zucchini Kathy Crane grew in her garden.  Here is what James was doing whileI was baking bread.

 I had a nice visit with Linda and then came home to make more bread.  I made two more loaves that were even better than the first two.  I took one to Lannie Gillespie.  Lannie has her foot in a boot and hs been through several surgeries in the past 18 month.  She is suppose to be able to walk without the boot but she says her heel hurts too much.  I love Lannie!''

After leaving Lannie's I made a trip into town to get ink for the printer.  I came home and printed off an idea for a Book of Mormon Murder Mystery for Mutual tonight.  I also had 127 ideas for value projects.  I was the only leader there tonight other than Denice Hall.  I had the Beehives and Mia Maids.  Our murder mystery was fun.

Go Daddy, the owner of Scottsdale National Golf Course stopped the job that James's crew is doing there.  Something about them disturbing the golfers.  I guess they will have to finish next week.

Here are some pictures of the yellow flowers I took today.  I know they will soon be gone and I want to remember them.

Up close they look soo yellow!

In the field they look more golden.

The back yard is full of them!

I finally finished through July on my blog!  Yes, I am that far behind. 

James does his leg, foot, ankle exercises given to him by Dr. Wiltbank.  He uses different colored rubber bands for different exercises.  I pay bills and start to get ready to go to town.  James needs some receipt forms.  We decide not to go and to just print some on the computer.  We watch The Walton's and take a nap and then I get ready to go to Mutual.

We meet at the church at 6pm.  Tonight is combined young men and young women with the young men in charge.  We are going elk calling at the Wilhelm North 40. 

The young men and their leaders make a bonfire.  There was a feeble attempt at some elk calling but no on seemed really very interested.  We roasted hotdogs and told stories around the fire.  Those who attended: Diana Curtis, myself, Steve Allen, and Clint Pope.  Collin DeWitt came late.  Youth: Daniel, Glenso, Aaron, Tyler, Jackson, and Jace.  Jordyn, Haley, Shelly, Maddie, Kathryn, Mary, LeeAnn, Kilee, Hope, and Kelly. 

When I got home I snacked and watched Project Runway, Master Chef and The Walton's.  Also read some more from Visions of Glory.

Our field of yellow flowers.
