Sheri posted this for grandparents day.
Sheri's quote of the day:
"A person cannot give a crust to the Lord without
receiving a loaf in return."
-Melvin J. Ballard
James left to be at the church by 5am. He takes the missionaries in his car to the temple. They travel about 45 minutes to the Snowflake temple with other leaders and the youth of the Vernon ward.

Shelly also went to the temple but she left before James could get her picture. Lane Hall and Ty Applegate were the boys who attended. I guess James would rather take pictures of girls than boys.
After returned from the temple James loaded up his CAT SkidSteer and left to help gather wood for the single sisters in our ward. The youth were supposed to help, but only the young women and Ty and Jace showed up.

Kyah and Ty. James says they spent the whole time together.
Some of the wood was black from the burn and the kids,
and adults got it on their faces.

These kids are not afraid to get dirty.

The group cut, loaded, hauled, and unloaded 14 cords of wood for the widows of Vernon, not just the LDS sisters but others in our community as well.
James arrived home this afternoon just before our daughter Kim arrived here from Chandler. She needed a break from the remodeling project they are doing in their house. This is the first time she has ever come up by herself.
Kim and I went on a Razr ride together. It's one of the things she loves to do when she comes up. We got into a little rain, a little dust, and got hit by a few bugs. We made the Christmas tree trail circle so we were gone about an hour.
I bought Kim a stress relieving coloring book just like mine. When we got back from our Razr ride we colored in our coloring books.
I made spaghetti for dinner. Kim had some but she also had her mixed green chili burro from Burger House. James likes the spaghetti sauce, but he doesn't care for the noodles.
Kim helped me clean the kitchen and then because all three of us were tired, we went to bed early.
I got a text before going to bed from Jen, our realtor. We got an offer on the house in Chandler. She said we will talk on Monday.
