I had a visiting teaching appointment at 10 am and we planned on leaving after I returned home. I met Eileen Duggins at the church a little before 10 and we drove across the street to Lannie Gillespie's only to find that she wasn't home. How embarrassing for me because I am the one that made the appointment. We left a card with our names and phone numbers on it. So for visiting teaching this month I am one for three. I'm not off to a very good start in my new ward.
Again Trina packed us a lunch and we drove to Springerville where she stopped at the Western Drug to get a fishing license because James told her she needed one if Rowan was going to fish. (Later we found out she didn't need a fishing license for the kids to fish!) When we got to Greer the creek was closed and we didn't want to fish below the bridge because we figured it was private property.
We decided to drive to drive to Sheep's Crossing but a couple of miles in a road closed sign was posted. By this time the kids were pretty sick of being in the car but we still had a long ways to go. We decided to go to Show Low Lake. The spot we picked was next to the boat dock and was very rocky. Let's just say the only thing that was hooked was my finger, but I wasn't hurt. We used power bait without sinkers which is a boo boo according to one of the teenage boys who helped us. The trip home the kids were pretty quiet and I must say they were good sports for as long as they were in the car. Rowan says it wasn't a total loss because they saw a water snake.
