It is 5:41 am.  I am sitting at the dining room table with the windows open and it starts to rain.  I love to hear the sound of a light rain as it hits the ground.

Spencer W. Kimball once said: "Journals are a way of counting our blessings and of leaving an inventory of these blessings for our posterity."  I feel extremely blessed right now.

I walk into the bedroom and feel the cool air because the widows are open and I can hear the rain.  I am so grateful for this beautiful place I love and the gorgeous weather. 

I had a bogus charge on my debit card when I checked my account this morning.  I got gas at the Splash and Dash carwash on Saturday.  I filled up my car and then I filled the gas can for the Razr but instead of two charges there were three.  The bogus one was for $50.32.  I called the bank and they said they would have it removed immediately.  That was easy!  I won't be buying gas there anymore.

This afternoon we get ready to go to the valley because James has a meeting with Zaki in Chandler early in the morning.  I order a Pappa John's Pizza for us to eat on the way.  It was yummy although it was James's favorite, the vegetarian, and not my favorite, the bbq chicke.  We stop in Payson and get ice cream cones at the McDonald's.  When we arrive in Chandler we stop at the house just long enough to drop some things off to Paul that were left at the cabin last week.  Joshua is excited because there is a toad in the pool.

We arrive at Sheri's at 9pm.  Alex had cooked some pork chops for dinner and he said I could have the one that was left.  It was delicious!  I give Max another $10 because I felt like I shorted him on his birthday money.  We watch SYTYCD with Sheri.  When it's time to go to bed we sleep in Ben's bed which is in Max and Evan's room.

The only picture I have for today is one of our friends, Ralph and Jean Lamoreaux on their wedding day about 50 years ago.
