James and I went in to Show Low today.  Our first stop was our favorite restaurant, LaCasita for lunch.  I had the same thing I had at Booga Red's last night only this meal was twice as good.  They have the best refried beans!  After lunch James dropped me off at Walmart while he went to Horne's car dealership to check on a job he is bidding for them. 

Here is a list of some of the extra things I bought at Walmart: A water pick to clean out where my filling fell out, a tablecloth and centerpeice for fall, a pumpkin spice candle, and candy bars for Young Women's, lots of protein shakes, and a small warmer crockpot.

The amazing thing about this trip is that James drove my car the entire way there and back.  I came home and put everything away and watched The Walton's.  Sissy Spacek was John Boy's love interest. 

I posted August 1st, 2nd, and 3rd on my blog.  I fixed corn on the cob and a medly of flower squash, cabbage and cauliflower for dinner, all from Kathy Crane's garden. I also took these pictures:

 We couldn't stop reading from Visions of Glory.  We did go to bed by 10pm.

Happy 35th birthday Darrel!!

Darrel and his sweet family.

There is a fire in Yosemite right now called the Rim fire which was started by a hunter on August 17th which has burned nearly 371 square miles.  It is one of the largest wildfires in California history and has cost 81 million dollars to fight.

James and I had our weekly lunch date at LaCasita today.  Afterwards we went to Home Depot to get some shelf brackets for our bookshelves and some Krud Kutter to remove the wax from our wood floor.  While walking in we saw James's Uncle Delbert and so we stopped and spoke with him.   Uncle Delbert is in his mid 90's.  He said he just returned from visiting with Curtis in Iowa. 

After shopping at Home Depot we went to Walmart.  James waited for me on a bench in the front of the store while I did my shopping.  Just outside the store we had seen a woman holding a homeless sign.  James had me get $10 to give to her.

This evening we went on a Ranger ride.  We saw a wild turkey, an owl and a large six point elk near home.  On the way home from town we saw some antelope in the field across from the post office.  James counted 9 does and 6 bucks.  We also saw some archery antelope hunters scoping them out.  Here's hoping the guy is a lousy shot.

Some pictures I took today:
