"Fishers of Men"

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.

Pat had lemonade to drink and Janna had
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.





The Shell gas station located on the corner of
Deuce of Clubs and White Mountain Blvd.
Owned first by Bill Huso and then by
Aunt Gene and Uncle Clair Tenney

This was when Nick's was across the street from
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).

My friend Geneice Jennings uncle owned
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.


The Nikolaus's were in my ward. I played ball with Lamar's daughter Lorraine and Elizabeth Nikolaus was the Relief Society president.
They were a very nice family.

Monte was born in the Josephine Goldwater hospital.

The old Ross's Cafe
I dated Ross's son, Kay Adams.

I watched many a movie at the Show Low theater in
downtown Show Low. James and I went to the drive-in a
few times.

Hal Butler's sons, Gary and Greg worked in our store.
His youngest son was David. My mom said Peggy Butler
Hal's wife, was our very best customer.

This is my friend Pat Whipple Tedder.

The Adams' Family
I was good friends with Beverly Welch Adams.

Georgia Adams was Chet's sister. She married
Dutch Kay, my dad's best friend. They had a daughter
my age, Nora Jean.

My cousin Randy Tenney who looks like a teenager here
was the mayor of Show Low.




Law Enforcement Officers back in the 60's 
when I was a teenager.


Dennie Thompson's son Leon worked in our store.
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.




Eb's brother Lamel Lewis now has a
"junk" place in Linden

We lost our cabin in Pinedale in this fire.





Mohammed Ali trained in Show Low in the 80's.
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.

Up at 3:26. James and I left for the temple at 8 a.m. 

The temple session was quite full. I met Sue Hubble and we sat by my friend from high school again, January Smith Stratton . Charlie Patterson, another friend from high school was also in the session and a friend we worked with in the temple, Sister Humphrey.

After the session James and I met Sue Hubble at Eva's Mexican food restaurant. Sue and I both love their chili relleno and that is what we ordered. James loves their chicken enchiladas with green sauce and refried beans and that's what he ordered. I interviewed Sue about her family. Her brother, David, who is 72 is riding his motorcycle to Sue's from Wisconsin. He is to arrive sometime today and then he and Sue are going to Silver City, New Mexico to see Sue's other sisters. Her sister Jeanette's husband is having surgery and Sue and David are going to stay with Sandra, Sue's twin who is mentally handicapped. 

Sue gave me a little of her family's background. Sue's dad died when she was 9. Her mom bought a farm in Wisconsin and moved their with her five small children. Sue's mom didn't drive so they rode on the Amtrak train. Sue has a degree in interior design and sewing. She moved back to New Mexico to work in her brother Allen's trading post. She met her husband John in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and they moved to Keams Canyon to run a trading post for the Kay family who now own Kay's Lumber. I remember Johnny Kay in high school. His family had the drug store in Snowflake in the building where Eva's is now located. It was there when my mom went to school in Snowflake. She and Veleda went there to get chili dogs for lunch when they were in high school. Sue has two children Scott and Tabitha. Tabitha passed away from a brain tumor a couple of years ago. She had two girls, Kailee and Sky. They live in Show Low with their dad but they stay with Sue on the weekends so they can go to church with her. Kailee was baptized in May.

We got some rain today, but now much. Jared Ammon & Ellie left for home before we got back from Snowflake, but they took a selfie before they left.

Happy 101st Birthday President Nelson!
Happy Birthday Denice Hall

James and I made a trip to town together today. While I was a Dollar Tree getting more birthday cards, James went to Tractor Supply to get horse feed. James then dropped me off at the UPS store where I made an Amazon return and then I walked over to Walmart. James drove to Home Depot. James also went to Kay's to get nails for the deck. He then went to Circle K for gas. 

James came in to help me check out at Walmart. On the way Stacy called to talk about her business. When she hung up James asked me to please not invest any more money in her business until I saw return on the $1,000 I have already invested. 

We stopped at the Aliberto's drive-thru going out of town and had to wait about 15-20 minutes for our order. It was worth it though. 

Jared Ammon texted and said they were in Greer for lunch. This is Ellie's first time. They ate at the Molly Butler lodge which is over 115 years old. 

Chelsea MacArthur said she was sick and they wouldn't be coming to FHE tonight. I told her we would try again next week.

Before James left to get his temple recommend signed by the stake, he helped me take dinner to Mikki & Roger Gilbert. I gave them a choice of about four different meals and they chose the cabbage soup, cornbread, and Nutella bars. It was an easy meal to fix and deliver.

I got to snuggle with Tom this evening.

I went to St. Johns with James today. He bribed me by saying he would by me lunch, which he did at El Cupido's where I had a carne asada taco. It was okay but not nearly as big or good as Aliberto's. James had a couple of enchiladas.



We found the county offices. It was a little confusing because over the top of the building it says High School.

County Offices

When James mentioned the High School sign to the clerk who waited on him she said: "Oh it's to hard to take those letters down."
That's Apache county for you.

They took the septic tank permits but tell James he has to receive a letter from them before bringing in the actual plans. He was hoping he might drop them off today too. They said it would probably take three weeks to process these plans. James said this is just another delay for the Applegate's.

Jared Ammon and Ellie arrived while we were gone. When we walk in Ellie is eating avocado toast. She is vegan. I gave both her and Jared Ammon a hug. After they finished eating they go out to see the horses. I gave them a couple of carrots to feed them. 

Jared now works at a restaurant in Chandler called DTC, initials for Down Town Chandler. He said the other day he saw Monte and Kaytlynn having lunch there.

I took a nap with Tom on my lap this afternoon. James borrowed Pierce's welder but he couldn't get it to work. 

I got an Amazon package today containing: a teal colored dress, Perk,  Amber Romance (my lotion), large forks, and a painting of the Savior.

I began the first book in Gerald Lund's 'The Kingdom and the Crown' series, "Fishers of Men."

I spoke with Cindy Brown and found out her birthday is October 6th. I asked if she would like me to make her a birthday cake and she said she would love that.

While James was inside I walked around
the grounds, getting some steps.

Up at 2:24, a little early but I have important things to do this morning. I changed my schedule a bit. I get up at 3 and have prayer and meditation. Next is Book of Mormon, Come Follow Me and reading from my D&C study guide.

At 5:00 I blog for two hours. I will never catch up on my blog if I don't blog two entries a day and that has not been happening when I blog later in the day. I was able to finish blogging my birthday this morning and almost finished the 20th this evening. It was a good start. 

Today is fast and testimony meeting, both James and I bore our testimonies. I told about my experience in the temple of being sealed to my parents. I testified that all I felt was love and if you want to feel of God's love for you, go to the temple. James testified of the importance of the sacrament and our opportunity to repent and do better. He testified of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. Some of the other testimonies: Lots of Primary children including Pantera and Juniper. Pantera is 7 and Juniper is probably 5 or 6. Juniper said: "I know we can all learn from our trials." Not the testimony you normally hear from a young child. 

Joe & Corrina Westbrook and their family are back in our ward. Kyah, their oldest daughter just returned from a mission in Montana. She is what Brother Rosen called in his testimony a "spark" in her family. Her dad Joe shared his testimony in sacrament meeting for the first time since I have known him. Kyah made some really good comments in Sunday School. It will be great to have her in our ward until she decides to attend a singles ward.

Here are some others who bore their testimonies:
Tom Peralta, Bridget Jordan, Kyle Penrod - Shanna's oldest grandson, Scott Sandoval, Tanya Osborn, Becky Skousen, and Mike Brady.

We attended Brother Lauritzen's marriage class after the second hour. Today we talked about the man cave for men and the S wave for women. James told about the time I was stressed out with the kids and he took me to stay in a hotel room in Mesa. I remembered that incident but not so sure I am happy that he shared it.

Kim is now a part of our A.S.K. general conference study group. We went to pick up our soup pot and cookie sheet at Kate Hahn's this evening. She is back at the Mayo Clinic. Her husband and dog are with her. They don't lock their house so we were able to go in and get our pot and cookie sheet. We did up some dishes while we were there. I am so sad for Kate. I wonder if she will ever be well again.

James spent the evening writing a letter to Ben & Cayli. I listened to part of "Follow Him."

Woke up at 2:00 and decided it was too early and that I would sleep another 30 minutes. The next time I woke up it was 5:00. Next time I will get up at 2:00. On the other hand, maybe my body was telling me I needed that extra sleep this morning. It was a great morning. When I went outside to feed Sammy it smelled so good and it was evident that it rained during the night. 

Willy Grombach and Ralph Sedig came over this morning to do some welding for James on the fence, otherwise James would have come with me to Scottie MacArthur's soccer game. The game was at Frontier Park in the middle of Show Low right next to where I used to live when we lived in the little house behind the store. I told Chelsea and Jarred that I used to go frog gigging in the creek and that there was a Spudnut shop that made the most delicious donuts. I told them about walking to the Show Low Elementary School and smelling those donuts on the way to school. So many memories close by.

We are on the 'Racoon' field and Scottie's team is called the Jaguars. The Jaguars lost to the red team, I'm not sure what the name of their team was. They had a little girl on their team that just wouldn't stop. Every time they made a goal she would run over and tell her dad, making sure he saw it. So cute ... why couldn't she be on our team?

I told Chelsea & Jarred about my dream of Jarred becoming the new bishop. I told them a bishop needed to have a good character and a kind heart and I felt like he had both. I told them that even if Jarred didn't become bishop they needed to start coming to church because we could really use them in the ward. I am grateful I have a relationship with these kind people where I can tell them exactly how I feel.

When the game was over and we said our goodbye's Scottie came over and gave me a hug and thanked me for coming, which made me feel good. As I was walking back to my car and noticed a young boy, probably about 9 or 10 walking towards me. My heart jumped as he looked so much like James Hayden at the age. It brought a tear too my eye. James was such a sweet boy.

I needed to use the restroom so I decided to make a trip to Safeway, and I am so glad I did. I got six packs of A&W Zero for half price. You had to buy four six packs, which I did. I got two packages of blackberries for $5 which was $3 off and I met Josephine who was born in Poland and who lived there during World War II. We had such a nice visit as we were standing in line to check out. She also worked at Yale many years ago as a secretary. 

I mailed the letter to Premier Imaging and a birthday card to Denice Hall. I drove up Central Street to go to the cemetery and I passed our old house I noticed that the mailbox said Ellsworth on it. This means that Trenda Wilhelm Ellsworth does live in our old house. Wow...what a coincidence.

James was working on the fence by himself when I got home. Willy the welder had gone home to see his sister who is here visiting. James is also working on replacing part of the deck because some of the boards were warped, so he has two projects going on right now. 

We started our fast at 1:30 today. We are fasting for Autumn, and Ben & Cayli. I am focusing on Autumn and James is focusing on Ben & Cayli.

Up @ 2:41. Happy 47th Birthday Darrel!

Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. 

Max got 96% on his EMT test. We are so proud of him. He is such a determined young man and sets goals for himself and then goes out and accomplishes them.

Benson is having trouble breathing and has been in the hospital for tests. I have been praying for him and for Autumn every 30 minutes. The doctors finally sent him home and told Autumn if he had any more problems to contact her pediatrician. Autumn is still worried about him so I continue to pray for them.

James's back is free of pain. He woke up happy for the first time in as long as I can remember. Oh happy day!

I finished Sheri Dew's book, "Woman and the Priesthood" and started Wendy Ulrich's book, "Live Up to Our Privileges." 

This afternoon I met Ruth Gale and Jewel Turley at the temple for the 3:30 endowment session. I wore my new temple dress and shoes. I love the shoes but the dress is too long and I had to have someone help me zip it. Also, there were five other people with the same dress on. Oh well, I guess we are all supposed to be equal in the temple.
I also used my old robe and it is too big as is my newer one. I guess I need to order a small and short one. 

After the session we talked about going to dinner. I left it up to Ruth because she has Jewel with her. We decided to pass this month but go the following month and "catch up."

I got a call from Cheryl Sedig today. She is making a change to our ministering assignment. Now instead of having Janna Grombach Kathy and I have been assigned Cindy Brown. I told her we would keep Janna too, but she said no. I am excited to get to know Cindy better.

On the drive home from Snowflake it was still light and I enjoyed the white fluffy clouds, green in Shumway, and the mountains near Vernon. There is so much beauty in the world that the Lord created for us.
