Alma 36:3

"Trust God and He will support you in your trials.

"The desire to know the Lord should be the priority of our life."

-Becoming His

I had a Burger House green burro for breakfast.  What a way to start the day!  A cold and dreary November rains is upon us.  I wouldn't mind one bit if it wasn't for James's job.  Pouring concrete in the winter up here is stressful!

Hey!  It's 10:15 am and the sun is shining.  This weather is so fickle.  James got home a little before noon.  We watch a Christmas movie, "Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade."  The leading lady reminded me of Emmy Rossum.  I wrote five Thanksgiving day cards to family members.  My goal is to write one to all of my children, their spouses, and my grandchildren before Thanksgiving.  I also cleaned out a kitchen drawer and filed all of our kitchen appliance papers that were hiding in that drawer.

James is so positive in spite of all his difficulties on the job.  Today he did more road work and then he came in fixed my diinner and did the dishes.  I am truly blessed!!  

James went in to the city of Show Low today for business and ended up talking to John Wilhelm about hunting and fishing.  I guess that's why he loves living up here, he has so much in common with so many of the people.  

James called Francisco to see if he got everything ready for the plumber on the Horne job for tomorrow.  He said no, he came home because Rueben fell in the water and wanted to leave.  That's all well and good, but why didn't he call so James would know he needed to go in and finish?  Now he has to go in early in the morning.  

More Christmas movies: "A Season of Miracles", and "The Twelve Trees of Christmas."

I put two roasts in the crockpot with BBQ sauce this morning. 
Before we leave for church we have family prayer with everyone.  James and I sit in front by the Applegate's so James will have room for his walker and leg.  Sheri, Ian, Kim, Brian and the kids sit in the back.  James and I both bear our testimonies.  So do Shelly and Trenda.  James and I are fasting for Dallin today.

Brother John Wilhelm is called to the bishopric to fill the vacancy left by Wes Smith.  Wendy DeWitt gave the lesson again in Sunday School.  It was on the life and martyrdom of Joseph Smith.  I wish Kim and Sheri would have stayed.  Sandra Wilhelm taught about strengthening families in Young Women's. 

This afternoon James and I read our scriptures together and I read by myself.  I restarted the Book of Mormon for the 7th time this year.  We also took our nap.  After naptime Sheri, Evan and I start to go for a Razr ride but Sheri is too cold so we go back.  Evan wants to go to Greenspeak but when I tell him about the Falls he wants to go there.  James and I take a break from our Five Crowns game that we are playing with Kim and Sheri to take him.  The sad thing is that today the Falls were not running.  I think Evan was happy just to get to go on a ride.

This evening we had dual dinners.  Brian made honey line chicken and I made bbq beef.  We also had beans, macaroni and cheese, a salad, corn on the cob and watermelon.

We did not have FHE like James and I had talked about.

Some photos I took today of the gorgeous sky:

 

I should do a calendar.
