We started our day at the Gilbert temple.
We went to the 6:15 a.m. session and ended
up being the witness couple just like we did
when we were here on August 10th.
What a way to start the day!

Me too!
Alex and Seth use James's truck to help Adam move today. We were going to help but they didn't really need us. We went to meet them at Stacy's and played with Shipley instead. I don't know why I didn't take a picture because Shipley was really cuddling with James. Stacy says she loves everybody but I think he was her favorite between the two of us.
Since James is from New Mexico I had to post this picture
which was taken near Virden, New Mexico.
James and I went back to Cathi and Terry's. I washed sheets, towels, and rugs and took a nap. James worked on his Sunday School lesson. We left for home around 12:30. James followed me and thought he could catch me, but he didn't. We met up in Payson at Chili's for lunch. My lunch looked like this:
Steak with cilantro sauce, avocado's, cherry
tomatoes and asparagus.
It was delicious!
James went on home and I stopped at the Safeway in Show Low. When I got to Vernon it was raining really hard. The rain was much lighter at our house. After unloading and putting most of my things away James and I read from our book "With Every Breath" on the porch and then we watched a Hallmark movie. There was a new Peach Cobbler Mystery about Hannah the baker and how she helps her boyfriend who is a police detective played by Cameron Mathison, solve the mystery of who murdered the very unpopular town sheriff.
I also watched an episode of Chopped before going to bed. I love this time of year. The high's are in the 70's and the low's in the 50's.
Just a couple of more pictures to post. This picture of Ruby was taken two years ago.
She never stopped until that potato was
completely peeled. She was a great helper!
This is so true for me.
