Good friends from the Vernon ward,
Becky and Chris Skousen.
Becky is the Primary President and my visiting teacher, and Chris is the High Priest Group Leader.  

We got some snow last night and there is lots more scheduled for today.  
James thinks that the leak in the basement has slowed down enough that we can leave for a couple of days  He goes out to start the car and it won't start.  He opens the hood and fins that a rat has built a nest on the engine and assumes that he chewed a wire in two.  He is able to jump the car so the rat has been falsely accused.

He loads up the car, including two Christmas trees, a tub of lost and found items and my Oreck vacuum which needs to be fixed.  We leftg the house at 11:20.
I wanted to go through Payson but the megatron said you either needed to have chains or a four-wheel drive. 
  Tons of snow
Gorgeous
This picture was taken as we left Miami and were coming into Superior just before we got to the bridge.
I have never seen waterfalls here before!
Traveling was slow.  It took us five hours instead of our usual three and a half.  We stopped at Trina's house to say hi to her and the kids.  Then we headed to Goodwill on Pecos and Arizona Avenue to get rid of our old living room Christmas tree.  We then stopped at Stacy and Paul's to give them the tree they left at the cabin a few years back.  We visited for a few minutes and felt bad we didn't have a treat for Holly.  Next we went to Kim's and then Sheri's.  We had Taco Bell for dinner before finally arriving at Cathi and Terry's. The dogs were very happy to see us!  We stayed up and visited with them until about 10pm. 
Throwback Thursday
 I used to collect Hot Wheels and would have loved to
have this to display my cars.
The drugstore where I went almost everyday
after school for a baked ham sandwich and a cherry phosphate.

Throwback Thursday on Facebook
 My mom 
My mom and I
My brother Harold is #27

This afternoon I went visiting teaching with Randa Covert.  We visited Mary Swift and Joyce Malone.  The other sister we visit, Julie Wilhelm is in Montana.  She works for the National Forest Service.  I will contact her by phone.  The message was on the divine mission of Jesus Christ as our comforter.  Here was our handout:

 James got home from the valley a little before six this evening.  I had told Dennis I would meet him and Denise at Aunt Gene's around 6:30 for dinner.  James changed and we left and arrived just a little after 6:30. Here is what the sky looked like on our way into town.
I couldn't really capture how beautiful it was!

 Dennis and Denise were already at Aunt Genes and I guess Harold and Vickie aren't coming.  We visited awhile and then went down to Licano's for dinner.  Licano's was originally the Paint Pony and owned by grandma & grandpa Maxwell.  Aunt Gene was the manager.
Cher, Brian and Colby were there to
watch the ASU game and Cher and
Colby came by for a visit.  We visited with Brian
on the way out.
 Aunt Gene and Denise have a special bond.
 Dennis and Colby.
Dennis did an imitation of one of their neighbors who
sits on her porch and yells bad things about the Maxwell's.
Although the situation isn't funny his imitation
make me laugh!
After dinner we went back up to the house and took pictures of old photographs aunt Gene had.  I have got to come back for more!!
Grandma & Grandpa Maxwell
They were married on 
August 25, 1926
 Sorry this is so blurry. Grandma & Muhammed Ali.
He trained in Show Low and stayed at the Maxwell House.
This picture was taken at grandma & grandpa's
50th wedding anniversary party.
Another wedding aniversary
I can't believe how much grandma
looks like aunt Gene in this picture.
Not sure who grandma has but
grandpa has a couple of fish.

The family, grandpa, grandma,

I love these old family pictures and hopefully I can go back and visit with Aunt Gene again and hear some more family stories.
James was tired and not feeling well but I am so grateful he came with me tonight to enjoy time with my family.
