Up at 5. I hurt so bad. I have banana pudding, milk, Tylenol and Tramadol for breakfast. James helped me put the roast in the crockpot for dinner tonight. We are feeding the missionaries. My right hand hurts so much, I can't do anything with it. James also made the bed, rubbed heat rub on my feet, hand and neck. He was so sweet. We had prayer, BM, & CFM before he left for work. He is helping Jeff and his son Easton put roofing paper on the pump house in case it rains. 

Everyone like the banana pudding I made. James said it was the best he's ever had. Ruby and Lola had it for breakfast. Darrel wants the recipe. 

Banana pudding for breakfast

Yesterday Darrel, Ruby and Lola did the U.S. Destinations puzzle. Today they did the World Destinations. There was a missing piece and the girls couldn't find it. Darrel walked passed Trina and I in the dining area and Trina said, "Is that a bandage on your arm?" Darrel looked, and lo and behold, it was the missing puzzle piece. We all had a good laugh. 

I mentioned to Darrel and Trina that we were going to the Farmington, New Mexico temple open house on August 1st and asked if they wanted to go with us. Darrel said he had to work and then said, but we want to move there. I was surprised. Darrel said he has a friend who is a pharmacist who moved there and works at the Shiprock Hospital. He got a $100,000 towards paying off his student loans and Darrel wants to do the same thing. He has a phone interview next Tuesday. Of course Lola and Ruby are not happy but I told them what happened to me when I moved to Show Low from Phoenix in the 7th grade. I cried and cried and for the longest time I didn't like it. I told them it turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me. I had so many LDS friends and I met Grampa. If I had stayed in Phoenix I would have gone to Phoenix Union High School which was in downtown Phoenix. Collin DeWitt went there and he was bullied constantly by the black kids. I fit right in at Snowflake Union High School, a small school where we were friends with most of the people in our class. It was great. I'm not sure I convinced them they wanted to move but I gave them something to think about.

I made pulled pork tacos for everyone for lunch. James didn't get home until about 2 just when Darrel, Trina and the girls were leaving for home. 

I love these four people!

I love him too!

There was a short cloud burst just as James went back to work. Tom naps with me on the family room recliner now that our company is gone. 

We had to send the elders detailed instructions on how to get to our house. These elders are both new, Elder Clark from Kaysville, Utah and Elder Perkins from Illinois. For dinner we had roast, carrots, potatoes, green beans and rolls. The elders seem to enjoy the meal, especially Elder Clark. When he gets home from his mission he is going to play football at Snow college in Ephriam, Utah. Elder Perkins says he is going to a trade school. 

For dessert we had banana pudding. There was no food left on anyone's plate which made me feel good. Elder Perkins did a demonstration about binding covenants using two Books of Mormon. He flipped the pages of each book until they were intertwined together to show how covenants bind us to Christ. It was really neat. We enjoyed our time with them and they issued us a challenge before leaving. They asked us to pray about someone to fellowship. I told them we had invited an inactive family to a BBQ next Thursday. I am the sisters ministering sister and James is the family's minister brother. I said we would pray to see if there was someone else the Lord wanted us to work with also. Elder Clark was wondering if they could come by next week when the MacArthur's are here. I said I would check with them but I was pretty sure they could just plan on coming to dinner. I sent the elders home with a bag of rolls.

Elder Perkins is the tall one on the left

and Elder Clark is on the right.

My cornhole game and first aid kit were delivered today. Oh happy day. James hurt his leg and back today but in spite of his injuries he helped to clean the kitchen. 

I bought eggs from Kathy Crane today. Her grandkids Elden and Catalina delivered them. I also bought tickets for Pat Tedder and I to go see the movie "How To Train Your Dragon" next Tuesday, and scheduled a trip to the temple with Pat on Tuesday, the 29th.

Up at 4:30. I did well this morning. I also made Darrel and James omelets. Darrel loved his. James said he didn't like the poblano pepper. Ruby and Lola had rolls from last night with strawberry jam and butter on them.

Darrel, Trina, and Ruby all either went on a walk or run this morning. Trina doesn't run anymore, but she does walk. When she gets back she makes the two of us a mug of Perk hot chocolate and we sit on the front porch and enjoy the nice weather. Darrel and the girls wanted to join us so I brought the two chairs from the deck out on the porch. We spent the morning at home just relaxing. Darrel, Lola and Ruby are doing one of the Ben-Ben puzzles. They like it as much as I do because of the letters on the back which divide it into sections. 

Trina and I left to go shopping around 1pm. We headed for Lamell Lewis's in Linden at 1253 Lone Pine Dam Rd. just down from Dennis and Harold's. 

On my word. It feels like Sanford & Sons junkyard. Lamell is the brother of Eb Lewis my former bishop and stake president. Eb had an antique store in Show Low where my mom and I use to spend hours just wandering around looking at things. Lamell said he worked for Eb back in those days. 

I must say Lamell has a little bit of everything and it is quite organized. He seems to know where everything is. We met his wife Connie who helps him with the business. They are very nice people. 

Trina and I wander around for awhile. I am looking for a chair to go at the head of our dining room table. Trina suggest I might get two, one for each end of the table. I see a couple that might work and take a picture. The only thing I bought was a small cast iron skillet to cook omelets in. Trina bought some paddles or oars to hang as decorations upstairs in their common area. She also bought a Pyrex casserole dish. It was quite an adventure, one you almost have to experience for yourself. 

Before leaving Linden we stopped at the DG Market, just to see what it was like. It was so nice and clean and had a nice selection of groceries including produce. Lots of other things too. I bought a pair of house slippers and a heart shaped glass box to put jewelry in. Trina bought tomatoes for the burgers we will be having tonight. 

It started to rain as we left the market and before we got to Show Low it was a downpour! It rained on us all of the way in to Lakeside.

Darrel called Trina. He took the girls into town and they stopped at the Red Barn Creamery for ice cream. It's right next door to The House where we ate with Jared, Kacey, and Charlie when they were here. 

We went to the Red Door Consignment shop in Lakeside. So different from the experience at Lewis's. This place is so nice and has so many cute things. They have so many of the cute purses with the animals on them like Kacey and Autumn have. I found a chair that I think, and so does Trina, will look really nice in our dining area. I bought it for $65. I think the only thing Trina bought was some cookies but she tempted by some of the artwork and other items. 

We headed back to Vernon the back way by the Wallace's. It looks like Vernon didn't get any rain. 

We had smash burgers cooked by Darrel, and veggies for dinner. Afterwards I began making a banana pudding which I thought would be for dessert until I read that it has to be in the refrigerator for 8 hours. I told Darrel & Trina and so they made smores with the girls out in the firepit. 

When I was finished with the pudding and had cleaned the kitchen we all sat down to watch, "Villa Amore" starring Eloise Mumford and Kevin McGarry. It's my favorite Hallmark flavor of the month.

James worked on the Crane's pump house roof again today and was very tired when he got home. He went to be before the movie was over.

In other news, Sheri called and said Shayna broke up with Alex saying she wanted different things right now. Whatever that means. She said it was hard for him at first but he is doing better now. He is looking for a different place to live.

Up at 5. Once James leaves for work things are a little less stressful. I hurt so I laid down on the family room recliner until T&T kicks in (Tramadol and Tylenol). No chance to blog this morning. I am moving slow because the bottom of my left foot is swollen.

I left at 11:20 this morning. My first stop was at Catherine Halcomb's. She loved the picture of the Savior that I had at my last lesson. It's called "The Guardian" and was done by David Bowman in Snowflake. I got an 8x10 for her and framed it. She was so grateful. Most of all she was grateful that I came to visit her. She thinks I'm the only ministering sister who makes visits. I said I knew that I wasn't, but thank you. It was so sweet. She had her hair combed, eyebrows done and had lipstick on along with some new tennis shoes on her feet. She looked ready for company. I told her how pretty she looked. We visited for awhile and then I excused myself telling her I had some errands in town to run. 

This is actually my picture. When I go see Catherine again I will get

a picture of her with her "Guardian."

My first stop in town was at the Show Low post office to mail Summer's birthday card, then to the UPS store to return an ugly dress I ordered. In my defense the fabric was totally different from what was shown in the picture. Next was Walmart where I mostly shopped for the dinner I am doing for the missionaries on Sunday. A pot roast with carrots, potatoes, green beans, and rolls. For dessert I'm doing banana pudding. I also stopped at Splash & Dash and got gas for $3.06 a gallon. 

James carried in the groceries and I put them away. I had a little rest & relaxation time and Tom joined me. When I got up I made a sweep upstairs to make everything was in order as Darrel, Trina, Ruby, and Lola are coming up this evening. 

They got here around 7:30 and as soon as they had their car unloaded, Lola had them playing the Googly Eye game. 

I made rolls this evening, a dozen for family and a dozen for the missionaries. Everyone had one except Trina and I. 

Trina told me a little bit about Rowan. He says he wants to go on a mission but he doesn't want to teach everything the Church teaches. She wouldn't share with me what it was that was bothering him. It's a little disheartening because I thought he was ready to go and was filling out his mission papers. 

Back in Vernon I had two boxes waiting for me at the post office.

I invited the MacArthur family to come for a BBQ next Thursday night.

Up at 4:55. I went to bed last night at 11. 

James decided he couldn't wear Owen's harness because it was way too big for him. I made me promise that he would take some kind of precautions to keep himself from sliding or falling off the roof. He said he put blocks nailed to the bottom of the roof that would "catch" him. I happened to look out my kitchen window this morning and I could see him on the roof. 

The guy in Iowa who we bought the Razr engine from is shipping it today to Erik's home in Chandler. We are officially on our way to getting the Razr fixed. Hopefully it will be done for fall so we can take a drive up the mountain to see the leaves change color.

I had a nice conversation with Max today via text. He is so pleasant to talk to because he is so positive and wants to do good.

I had a pound of fresh spinach in the refrigerator that I was afraid was going to go bad so I cooked it for lunch, put some vineager on it and James and I ate it. It was quite tasty.

Stacy got a call about a note today from one of the letters we sent out. It could be worth $1,000 - 2,000. 

I spent the afternoon from two to six in the kitchen making calico beans and cornbread. Willy & Janna Grombach and Janna's mother Pat Tedder, are coming over for dinner and then to play "Ticket to Ride." 

I postponed the dinner from 6 to 6:30 using James's job as an excuse saying he was trying to get ready for an inspection. This was true, but I was also running a little behind. 

James came home and showered and then came in to the kitchen to help me. I asked him to finish up the dishes and put ice water in the glasses while I went in to get ready. 

Willy loved the beans and the cornbread, going back for seconds. 

After dinner we played "Ticket to Ride". It was fun except the scoring was a little complicated and time-consuming. It's funny that James and I were the newbies and he came in first and I came in second. Janna and Willy love our house. Pat and I did some planning. She has been wanting to go to a movie. It was between 'Superman' or 'How to Train Your Dragon' and 'How to Train Your Dragon' won. Tuesday the tickets are only $6 a piece so we are going a week from tomorrow on the 22nd. It was a fun evening spent with great friends. Thank you Willy, Janna, and Pat for coming over to help us learn how to play "Ticket to Ride."

'True to the Faith that Our Parents Have Cherished'

Elder Hans T. Boom

James and I both got up at six. We had prayer and scriptures and then we had breakfast together. Shakes and turkey sausage. We listened to all of Alma 32 and then picked out a question to send to R.E.J. I also send the question to Max on Sunday. 

We left for church at 8:30 before anyone else in the house was up. We picked up Kim and then headed for Sheri's ward on Dobson & Galveston. We got there the same time as Sheri and Evan. Sheri was carrying a big tray, which I imagine contained cookies, and had to take them to the Relief Society room before coming in to the chapel. 

Friends we saw as we entered the chapel. Erik's girls, Mabel and Aurora were at the door to greet us, inside we saw Erik. Oliver wasn't there and neither was Amelia or Tabitha. We also saw Jen Coffey, Steve Menlove, Laurel Chipman, Paula Casto, the Finlinson's, Bunny Miner, Lynda Cull, Jackie Hall, Cathi, and Dave & Laura. I imagine Terry is at home with his mom. 

Sheri, Evan, James, Kim, and I sat in the back of the chapel where all of the wheelchairs set, there are several in this ward. Jen Coffey sits way back there too. Right after sacrament meeting was over I went out into the foyer facing Dobson Rd. and met Addy there. All of Sheri's friends and family all sat together to support her:

Kim, me, Addy, Sariah (Cayli's cousin)

and of course, Sheri. Cayli was sick

and couldn't be here. Sariah works with Sheri

at Chandler Eyecare.

Sheri did a great job. After the lesson she asked us for constructive criticism. Addy said, "well, there was that one time you said good instead of well." Those words are right out of her Dad's mouth. She truly is Darrel's daughter!

Here are some notes I took from the lesson based on President Oaks' talk, "Divine Helps for Mortality" and Sheri's lesson:

Laurie Jensen took the picture for us. Thank you Laurie. Kim and I don't dawdle, she needs to get back to her ward to teach Primary. After we drop Kim off at the McQueen building James and I return to Stacy & Paul's. They aren't there, because they are at church. They are in Kim and Brian's ward. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention, yesterday and last night (she was up until midnight), Kim made 75 frosted sugar cookies for their wards elders quorum. Brian is the elders quorum president. Kim says she has extras and we should come by later to pick some up. We definitely will because these sugar cookies are my very favorite cookie of all time.

Back at Stacy & Paul's we changed our clothes and left with our ice chest to go to Sheri's for lunch. I brought some of the breakfast casserole with us for lunch, plus protein shakes. Sheri shared her sourdough bread and DPZ with us. I also brought some carrot sticks. I shared them with Ollie and Ziggy. Who knew that dogs like carrots. Evan was asleep while we were there so we didn't get to see him, but we did get to see Max and give him a hug. He was on his way to work at Winco across the street. Ian was mowing the back lawn so we didn't get to see him either.  I love Sheri's Sunday bag so much I took a picture because I want to order one like it.

We went back to Stacy's to pick her up. She is going over to Cathi & Terry's with us to see James's mom. Stacy looks so pretty in her lavender dress. She got her hair cut and it looks so good on her. Cathi can't get over how good Stacy looks. I guess she hasn't seen her since she lost all of her weight. 

Stacy visits with mom asking her about her half siblings. Mom's dad was 25 years older than her mom and he had several children when he and Maggie (Lois's mom) got married. I gave mom the journal I got her to write life history notes. She said, "I have so many of these." I showed her the tree on the front and said, "Do you know what tree this is?" She said no. I said, "It is the tree of life which represents the love of God, so every time you pick up the journal you can think how much the Lord loves you." She decided she would keep it. 

James kept asking to see Terry's new pug. I guess Terry was asleep with both dogs in the bedroom. Cathi came out with a tiny black bundle. 

Lois calls her the 'devil dog' because

she stole a piece of bread out of

her hand.

Lois (Mom) and Cathi

Cathi and I went over to the dining room table. I told her what Kim said about Mom not being happy because she was 'forced out of her home.'  Cathi explained that Dawn just didn't feel comfortable anymore taking care of her. Dawn's condition is deteriorating rapidly. That is what I figured. I thought maybe Laura was involved in the decision but Cathi says she was not.

Wally let me pet him behind the ears. He is such a cute little dog!

He sat down and scooted across the floor backwards to get close to me.

Sorry I didn't get good pictures of the dogs

Dawn and Aunt Faye come just as we are about to leave. It is nice to see them. Mom got up to use the restroom and ended up vomiting.

So sad. 

We visited with Aunt Faye for a few minutes. I told her about my journal/blog and she said she had a blog for years. She used it to post inspirational stories and quotes. She said she is writing a book about her life called, "Defining Moments." 

We also visited with Terry about his wonderful back doctor, Dr. Song. Cathi & Terry both really sing his praises. 

Cathi & Terry still have their large tortoise, Scooter. I start to go in the back yard to find him but Terry says he finds a cool place to hide when it is hot outside like today. 

We finally left around 2:30. James didn't get to say goodbye to Mom because she still hadn't come back out to the family room.

We stopped off a Kim's before going back to Stacy's and got some sugar cookies. Two frosted ones for me, a couple of unfrosted for James, and a bag of mini cookies with no frosting which James munched on on the way home. She also had several cookies for Stacy. I ate on of mine on the way back to Stacy's. 

In the car before we get her back home Stacy shares how she feels about speaking at their stake women's conference in August. She says she doesn't feel worthy to speak because none of her kids are active except Joshua and now he probably isn't going to go on a mission. I try to cheer her up and told her to please try to focus on the good things she has done, especially regarding the stake Easter event and all of the hard work she put in to it. I praised her for sticking with it and losing so much weight. I hope I helped her to feel a little better.

Back at the Gonzo's we load up our car to go home. Joshua carries two cases of shakes to the car at a time. Muscle guy. Impressive.

We give Joshua and Stacy a hug and head for Darrel and Trina's.

They don't get out of church until 3:30 and we arrive about 3:20. Addy is home making brownies so we had no problem getting in to the house. 

I brought Lola her "small things" basket along with Ring Pops and Tootsie Pops for everyone. I am sorry I didn't get a picture of everyone but her are the ones that I took:

Doesn't he look handsome!

And why weren't you at church?

You know I had to work, dad.

Lola's birthday gift from Addy.

Lola asked for it.

Silly girl.

It's 4:15 when we leave for home, going the Salt River way. 

Tom is so happy to see us and be with us. He runs through the house, James plays with him, and then Tom follows me around. When we start to say our prayers he wants out.

I forgot to mention that on the way home James went by Owen Taylor's to borrow a harness to use to get up on the Crane's pump house roof tomorrow. This harness is huge and I'm afraid it's not going to work for James.
