Here it is the last day of January and still no snow.  This has been a very mild winter so far and I am getting a little concerned.  Hopefully there will be lots of snow in February. 

James and I spent a nice quiet day at home until about 3:15pm when we left for the Snowflake temple.  It was very windy in Snowflake but we managed to make it to the 430 session.  I notice that my recommend expires in March.  I thought it was May.  I guess I better do something about that.  Our session is very full with 32 women, and 28 men.  They had to bring in folding chairs because there are only 40 permanent chairs. 

Of course it is dark when we come out of the temple.  We head to El Cupido's for dinner.  While there we see David Gale with his wife and little boy.  After dinner we get gas and then make a stop at Bashas for laundry detergent. 

Back at home we put on our comfy clothes and sat down to watch Treehouse Master's and the Walton's.  We went to bed reasonably early because I am going to the valley early in the morning with the youth.

James and I went to the temple today.  James forgot his temple clothes but now we do know that the Snowflake temple has clothes if you forget yours.  We left a little after 8 in hopes of making the 9am session.  Well, if there was a 9:30 session we would have made it but there is not one.  There is a session at 8:30 and one at 10:30.  I sat and read scriptures for awhile.  I met Jack Pearce's wife and her 90 year old mother and sat by them during the session.  James sat by an old friend from high school, Vern Turley.  As we were leaving we saw Stephen Reidhead at the desk checking recommends.  That's the fun thing about coming to this temple.

We stopped at El Cupido for lunch.  I had a Big Jake burro and James had a mexican pizza.  In Show Low we went to National Bank, the Book Barn and then home.  We were gone 7 hours.  When we left Snowflake it was 88 degrees and it was 77 degrees when we got to Vernon.  We have decided we want to go to the temp 2x a month to put family names on the prayer roll.

The rest of the day was spent in more leisurely activities: reading, napping, watching The Walton's and going on a Razr ride.  This is the most time we have spent together since we got married.  We love it and we love living in Vernon!

Here are some pictures I took off Facebook:
