Paul, Tara and Trisha leave for Johnnie's mother's funeral in Snowflake. Paul says she was one of the nicest people he ever met, just like Johnnie.
James, Joshua and I rode the Razr into Vernon to get gas at the Midway Station. There were lots of people at the park for Vernon days. It was a beautiful morning for a ride and it did James a world of good. There was no gas at Midway but I got Josh a treat, potato chips and a Sprite.
When we got home we went out on the deck to watch the hummingbirds.

I had to make a trip to town. My first stop was the Vernon dump to get rid of five bags of garbage. I also went to Walmart to get some groceries and the gas station to get gas for the Razr. I stopped at McDonald's and picked up some lunch for Joshua. On the way back from Snowflake Paul and his sisters have lunch at La Casita.
When I get back from town the first things Joshua says to me is: "Grandpa took me for a ride on the Razr." I said, what? Oh Joshua you must be joking, I'm going to talk to grandpa. Joshua's response was: "That's okay but if he says we didn't go then he's lying." Oh dear. It was true, he drove Joshua to Chocolate Lake.
I fixed dinner for Paul, Joshua, and his sisters. I made hamburgers, beans and mac and cheese. James and I are fasting. During dinner we went out on the deck and read from our book "The Grecian Princess." Paul and Tara come out later and say how gorgeous it is here. It really is because we have had so much rain.
Paul helped James buy mudflaps and a windshield for the Razr on Ebay. Tara and Paul played a game of Five Crowns with us and then Tara left to go visit some of Andrew's friends. Andrew was Tara's husband who died a couple of years ago. They met in Lakeside when Tara lived in Snowflake.
