I like this idea and I have a very pleasant
career: I'm a Mom, Grandma and Wife!

Sheri is so faithful about running.  She runs in the heat in the valley and when it looks like rain up here.  I wish I had her dedication.
  Can you see the antelope in these pictures?  This is in downtown Vernon across from the post office.  Sheri took both of these pictures when she and I went to Standford Store to get gas for the Razr.
 

Ian, Sheri, and I drove up to Buckelew Springs on the Razr to see if the falls were running.  It looked like they had been, maybe yesterday, but today they were not.

Stacy called and asked if Joshua could come home with Sheri and Ian.  Joshua didn't seem to like that idea so I had him call her.  He reminded her that she promised to come and get him, so she agreed that she would come on Wednesday afternoon.
 
We played one last game of Hearts.  Sheri was ahead the first few rounds and even bragged about it on Facebook, but she ended up losing because Ben ran it.  I had 99 points.  
 
Ian took the boys up to the Pit and the Swing.  When Joshua came back he said it was the best day of his life and then he said: "That's a little dangerous though."  While they were gone James called me and asked me to go down and check the hot water heater.  As soon as I opened the basement door I knew we had a flood because I could smell wet cardboard.  I have Christmas decorations stored in the hot water heater room and all the boxes on the floor were soaked.  Ian noticed the ceiling when he got home.  So maybe the leak is coming from somewhere besides the water heater.
We are thinking maybe it's our whirlpool bath tub that is leaking.

I drive to Home Depot to get a wet vac.  When I get back Sheri vacuums up all the water and helps me move the boxes, etc.  I was very grateful to her.  

Once we get things semi under control downstairs Sheri, Ian, Ben, Max, and Evan leave for home.  Joshua is happy to stay without his buddies.
It was a great few days with this fun family,
and Joshua too!

This evening Joshua and I took a Razr ride to town to see if we could see the antelope.  I guess Sheri and I scared them away earlier today.  I did get this picture of the sunset though.

 My friend Lynda Tanner, who was a horse trainer for many years posted this picture on Facebook and I couldn't resist.
Pretty in pink.  It keeps the flies and 
gnats away.
