I was up at 2:55 this morning. Perk and prayer are first on my agenda.
I went to the post office today and received the cards I ordered from Salt & Hart. They are cards with quotes by President Nelson and the invitations and promises associated with the quotes. I love them!
I was invited to lunch today by my friend Pat Tedder. She said she wanted to buy my lunch and asked me where I wanted to go. I said Persnikkity's. She asked if she should invite Janna and I told her that was up to her. She did invite Janna and Janna was our driver.
We got to Persnikkity's before the lunch rush and were able to sit in the "quiet" room. I ordered my favorite, the sesame chicken salad without the wontons. It is delicious! Janna ordered avocado toast and Pat had a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant.
Prickly Pear cactus. I had water.
Somehow we got to talking about Pat and I growing up in Show Low and one of them asked if I had ever been to the Show Low Museum. I told them, no, I hadn't. They said I needed to go and ask if today would be a good time. I agreed that it would. Pat said her brother Pete Whipple was volunteering their today.
Pete was sitting at the front desk when we walked in and was happy to see us. I went to school with Pete and also remember him as a friend of Rita's when I still lived in the valley and came up to visit.
He welcomed us and said there were 17 rooms in the museum and that the miniature train was running today. The train room was our first room to visit. A miniature Winslow and McNary were set up for the train to travel around. I have always loved train sets and I really enjoyed watching the train travel around the track.
Deuce of Clubs and White Mountain Blvd.
Owned first by Bill Huso and then by
Aunt Gene and Uncle Clair Tenney
our store King's Market. There were no good pictures of our store.
My Mom & Dad remodeled after owning it for awhile and renamed
it Double M Market (Marlin Maxwell).
Bill's Bar and Geneice lived there with him.
My mom and I would spend hours in Eb's store which was filled with antiques, etc. What a fun place to "shop." Eb Lewis was also
my bishop for awhile when I lived in Show Low as a teenager.
They were a very nice family.
I dated Ross's son, Kay Adams.
downtown Show Low. James and I went to the drive-in a
few times.
His youngest son was David. My mom said Peggy Butler
Hal's wife, was our very best customer.
I was good friends with Beverly Welch Adams.
Dutch Kay, my dad's best friend. They had a daughter
my age, Nora Jean.
was the mayor of Show Low.
Dennie took photos at our wedding reception.
Gary worked in our store. He was a couple of years older then me. He dated my best friend Polly Brookbank.
He was chief of police after I was married and gone.
My grandparents owned the Paint Pony
much, much later.
"junk" place in Linden
My grandparents, Arlee & Verdie Maxwell
owned the Maxwell House where he stayed.
They are standing in the upper left-hand picture.
I'm glad I went to the museum. It was a first and I really enjoyed it.
James fixed my Kitchen-Aid mixer this afternoon. A pen came out and he was able to put it back in.
I changed the sheets on our bed. I always love having clean sheets.
I also put Navy beans in the crockpot tonight for James. They cook all night and by morning they are soft and yummy.
I loved the weather and blue sky and beautiful white clouds.

And whoso layeth down his life in my cause, for my name's sake, shall find it again, even life eternal.
