I think fall is officially here.  It was 39 degrees this morning.  

I am so frustrated with Verizon right now.  I am trying to change our plan but it won't let me because it says I am not an authorized signer on the account.  I thought James put me on but apparently he didn't and so I can't do anything until he gets here.  

James made it home by 5pm just like I asked him to with my car.  He also brought Burger House burros with him but I didn't have time to eat one before leaving for my young women's presidency meeting scheduled for 5:30pm.

The big debate is when or if we are going to have our chili cookoff.  Every date seems to have a conflict.  Finally we turned it over to Brother Wilhelm and told him to ask the bishop if we could be excused from this one.  He will get back to us.

For Young Women's we practiced for next week's virtue program.  Brother Applegate helped us with the video download of "Virtue Makes You Beautiful" off Youtube.  Hope, Heaven, Maddie, and Coty were not here.

Adam, and Alex, and Adam's friend Kyle came up in the truck.  They got here right after Darrel arrived, around 10:45.  We saved a burro for Darrel.  

Sheri took her boys to the zoo today.  It looks like they had a good time.

Cute pink clouds
Today would have been my dad's 83rd birthday.  Happy Birthday dad.

Numbers 7:84 

This was the dedication of the altar, in the day when it was anointed, by the princes of Israel twelve chargers of silver, twelve silver bowls, twelve spoons of gold.

(I thought this was interesting due to the fact that we will be attending the dedication of the Gilbert temple on Sunday).

I finished the October 2013 General Conference talks for the 5th time today.  

 James called to give me a report of how his visit with Dr. Ortega went.  He is scheduled to have the screw in his ankle removed on March 18th if he can get clearance from his heart doctor.  Instead of staying until tomorrow James decided to come home this afternoon.  Of course he brought green mixed burros from Burger House. 

This evening we went into Vernon to get the mail.  On the way home I made the comment that it would be nice to see some elk.  When we turned onto N3625, the electric pole road near our house, these was a herd of about 40 elk.  It caught us by surprise and they moved out so quickly there was no time to take pictures.  Oh yes, and it was quite dark.
