It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
The wind is blowing the snow away and the sun is shining...but it's supposed to snow by 9am...., it didn't happen.
 
Because National Bank was closed Saturday I discovered that I could make a photo deposit on my phone. I was grateful we wouldn't have to go to town until I received an email from National Bank saying my deposit was rejected and I needed to call customer service, which I did.  I was put on hold the first time for 15 minutes and then was cut off.  I called back and was helped by someone named Sheri.  She put me on hold and then came back and said my check was rejected and she couldn't say why, except that maybe it was the squigily in the amount column.  I said I thought that was ridiculous.  She apologized and said we would have to go into town to make the deposit.
 
We got ready and left for town a little after ten.  We could see the clouds coming as we left.  Before we were halfway to Show Low it was snowing.  The sky disappeared in a white fog.
 
We made a deposit at National Bank and then we went to Show Low where I shopped for my visiting teaching luncheon scheduled for Thursday.  James helped me do my shopping which made it go a little faster.  Again, Walmart is filled with people.  School was cancelled and I wonder if people were bored and came shopping instead of staying at home in front of the fire.
 
Walmart parking lot.
 
It was almost a whiteout on the way home.  
 Crazy weather to drive in!
One of the sisters we visit teach, Jean Howard, never answers my phone calls.  I tried to call her again today.  When she didn't answer, I called my partner Lorraine Tieman, and ask if she would call Jean.  Jean answered her call.  Jean is in the valley and may be back by Thursday.  She said she might be able to come to our luncheon.
 
When we got home I got a call from Teresa Smith inviting us to come to lunch at her house on Friday.  The Giles's are going to be there too.  
 
On the way home from town we stopped at the post office.  I had a couple of packages, two of James's Christmas presents came.  We also stopped at Rosa Westbrook's and picked up some tamales she made for us.  When James told her we missed her yesterday she said: "I told him he crazy.  I been to church for 3 hours and I need to stay home and rest."  She is so funny, a sweet little lady from Mexico.
 
Stacy posted this on Facebook today:
"Yesterday during church, at a very reverent moment, Joshua turns to me and cups my face saying: 'Mom, you are the most beautiful girl that ever lived and if anybody says otherwise I will punch them in the face.' Ummm...how am I supposed to deal with that?"
 Ready to defend his mom's beauty.
You gotta love this kid!

"Home should be an anchor, a port in a storm, a refuge, a
happy place in which to dwell, a place where we are loved and
where we can love.  Home should be where life's greatest lessons are taught and learned."
-Elder Marvin J. Ashton
 
The boys had a soccer game this morning.  Trina, Lola, Addy, Ruby, Stacy, Paul, Michael, and Bob & Suzy Case along with Kreed and Kayla were all there to watch.  
 
Evan going after the ball.
Rowan on the run.
Joshua kicks the ball.
 
Joshua was a little sad because he missed two goals when he was playing goalie.  I think he is doing great for this being his first year of playing
 
On the way home from the game I stopped at Deseret Book to do a little shopping.  I bought a book for Stacy for her birthday by John Bytheway called: "Lifestyles of the Great and Spacious Building."  I also bought a book for Karen Schneider's birthday: "The Miracles of Jesus."  I also went to Costco which is right next door to Deseret Book.  I got lemon bites and brownie bites for the Robo bake sale today.  I also got some Honey Crisp apples, pork chops, toilet paper, and brownie mixes. 
 
It was 84 degrees this afternoon during the Robo bake sale.
Robo is Evan's company.  Rowan, Joshua,
and Max all work for him.
Sheri made chocolate chip cookies,
chocolate peanut butter cookies, and
snickerdoodles.  They were all delicious!
Making a sale to Joe's friend Amanda.
Ruby and Sheri having a little fun.
Trina brought cookies and goodies from Paradise Bakery.  The sale was a huge success.  The boys took in $60.  When Evan asked whe they could do it again Sheri said: "In November, for your birthday."
I think it was a little stressful for her.
After the sale was over Rowan stayed to play with Evan and Joshua.  Trina came back later this evening to get him. 
 
James and I watched a good Hallmark movie this evening starring Jason Priestly and Teri Polo called "Expect a Miracle."
 
We had stew for dinner and then James painted while I read to him.
