Today we had a date with Dennis and Denise for my birthday.  We met them at Persnikkity's at 11 am where they bought us lunch.  The food was yummy!  james had a portobello mushroom sandwich on a whole wheat bun with a side of potato salad.  I had the strawberry walnut salad with honey poppy seed dressing.  After lunch we drove to the theatre in Lakeside to see the movie "The Butler."  It's a movie about racism in the south and a black man who was a butler at the White House for six presidents: Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford and Reagan.  It was based on a true story.  A little rough in spots but we enjoyed it and we especially enjoyed Dennis and Denise's company.

It was raining in Show Low when I went in to Desert Title to get the registration on my car renewed.  It was 61 when we left Show Low but 72 in Vernon where it hadn't rained.

This afternoon James worked on putting the mud flaps on the Razr and I worked on cleaning the mud out of the driveway.  The drain is so clogged with mud that it doesn't work.  I took some of the grates oof to clean it out but James is going to have to do the rest.

 Tonight's sunset.

For dinner James made a fresh veggie medley again.  We watched The Walton's which was about Erin and Ashley Longworth, Jr.

After dark it started to rain and I could hear thunder.  I got up to look at Mars, or the double moon, but all I saw was a half moon.
