I love to see the temple
and I went there today.

I was up at 5:30 this morning and left for the temple by myself at 7:15 for the 8:30 session.  Brother Peeler from our ward arrived at the temple the same time that I did.  He is a temple worker but today he was a patron doing an endowment session just like me.

I went through for Margaret Eaton and the name of the officiator for our session was Brother Eaton.  Also, I saw a friend from high school working at the veil, his name, Alan Frost.

After the temple I stopped at El Cupido's for a drink and a bacon breakfast burrito.  I ordered it to go and my next stop was at the Taylor Walmart where I shopped for groceries and Emmy's birthday.  On to Show Low for gas and a carwash and to pick up Emmy's ice cream cake at Dairy Queen.  The only problem with their cakes is, they don't have any cake, just ice cream.  

When I returned home I unloaded the car, put groceries away and sat down to rest and watch an episode of "Chopped."  James was outside putting a door on his shed.

 It looks so nice!

Now all we need to do is plant some grass or build a sidewalk so our floor won't get so dusty.

I couldn't resist taking this picture of the birdhouse.

He made the birdhouse for the humming birds,

so the hole is a little small to get inside.

James says we have apples growing on one of our trees.

 Does that look like an apple to you?

It looks more like a pomegranate to me.

This afternoon I made a meatloaf to go with our scalloped potatoes.  Just as we sat down to eat, Jared and his kids arrived with an Arby's bag.  All the kids are here except Anna who went to Disneyland with Tricia.

Earlier this month Trina and Stacy both killed spiders.  Trina's was in the garage and Stacy's was in the house.  Which would you rather face:

Stacy's

Trina's

Sorry Stacy, put Trina wins this one for the grossest looking spider!

James is so miserable most all of the time except when he takes his drugs and then he is sleepy.  I wish I knew what to do to help him feel better.  Once he gets his MRI we can go from there as to what to do next.
We went to town today.  We went to the bank and then to LaCasita for lunch. I absolutely love their green chili burros.  They are just as good as the ones at Burger House.  James loves them too.  He also loves their crab enchiladas.

  Since I am leaving at 5:30 in the morning to go to the Snowflake temple we got gas and washed my car.  It did rain today so it may be muddy by morning. 
This week's Sunday School lesson is Alma writing letters to his sons Helaman, Shiblon, and Corianton.  The lesson emphasizes the need to communicate to our children, both those who are doing well, and those who may need some encouragement to choose the right. 
I watched Project Runway and Chopped this evening.  It's the Grill Master competition on Chopped and they are outside at an old west movie set here in Arizona.  There are 16 competitors on 4 different segments.  The winner gets $50,000.

Leann Hunsaker made this for us when she spent the night.
