Chili's for Lunch

Prescilla, Ruth, Ethel and I went to Chili's for lunch and had us some GOOD food. Ruth decided she wanted to play a game on their electronic kiosk on the table.  When I went to pay they had put $.99 on my check for playing games. We had a good laugh over that and I was happy when the waiter took it off.
One thing about my cousins. We always have fun and laugh alot.
Grateful Statement: I am so blessed to have these wonderful cousins to grow old with. God is good to me.

Temple, Shar's and Pedicure

 Gilbert Temple

 Waiting Room

Ethel

Bagger

Ethel works in the Temple in the Laundry on Tuesday's so I went with her and did a session. It was so beautiful. I love going to the Temple. After the Temple we went to have lunch and went to Ruth's work.

Shar's is one of my favorite stores and it is located next door to Ruth's work. We went in so I could get this bagger for my Whisper Mill grinder. I can grind and not have to empty my bowl all the time.
When I get back Ruth and I are going to try it out. Can't wait to play with my new toy.
Ethel took me to get my toes done in Gilbert. It was so wonderful to have new nail polish and no dry heels. I wish I would have taken a picture.
Grateful Statement: I am so grateful today for Joseph Smith. What a wonderful prophet he was. He gave his life for the gospel.

Going Back to Gilbert

Ethel's Front Yard

Ethel and I came home today from Show Low. On the way we went through Star Valley and Ethel thought she saw a flash and then told me they had camera's. Sure enough I got a ticket in the mail for going 56 in a 45. Oh well, such is life.

We stopped and visited with Jake and Della. Della gave us a big bag of string beans from her garden. We made them that night for dinner.

When we got to Ethel's her front yard was full of water from the rains Sunday night. There was water standing everywhere. But no damage to Ethel's house.

Ruth came over and we messed around on her computer. That's all folks!

Grateful Statement:  I am so grateful for my wonderful cousins. I am blessed to be from this family.

Heading for Payson

Johnnie and Phyllis

Ethel talking to Pete about the flooding in Gilbert

Ethel and I went up to Show Low to visit my brother. Phyllis wasn't feeling very good.

Johnnie made us a roast, baked potatoes and corn. Yummy Good. What a kind sweet brother he is. We visited for a long time and finally left around 6pm so Johnnie could get some sleep. He has to be back in the woods to drive truck in the wee hours of the morning.

We checked into the Comfort Inn in Taylor. What a dive. It used to be a nice motel but not anymore. I will be finding me a new place the next time I go to Taylor.

We went to Taco Bell for a salad and then it was off to dreamland for us. I loved seeing my brother. 

Grateful Statement: I am eternally grateful for this wonderful brother of mine. I love and respect him so much. He is a hard worker and so caring of Phyllis. I am so blessed to call him mine.

Kanab to Gilbert

Beautiful

Left Kanab and started the long drive to Gilbert. I have to go through Flagstaff to get there. The roads were really good and my GPS told me exactly where to go. I love that little gadget.

I arrived in Gilbert in the afternoon. It was so good to get out of my car. It was Hot Hot Hot! We just hung around Ethel and made a little dinner. Time to put my head on my pillow.

Grateful Statement: I am so grateful for the beautiful scenery I enjoyed on my travels today. God's Hand is everywhere.

Going to Arizona

 Motel

Comfy Bed

Heather and I left at 7:30 to take her to Utah and drop her off and then it was on to Kanab for me. I got there about 5:00 that night and got a motel room,   I had such a relaxing time, just little old me. I went to Pizza Hut and brought a little pizza for dinner and settled in for the night.
Grateful Statement:  I am so grateful for my safe trip to Kanab. I feel Heavenly Father's love for me as I drive and drive and drive. I know he is watching over me.

Tautphaus Zoo

 Petting a Gerbil

 Momma Lion

Daddy Lion

 Gracie is ready!

She was not crazy about the birds.

It was so much fun to take Gracie to the Zoo today. The lions were my favorite. It took us all of one hour to see everything.

After the Zoo we went to Wendy's for lunch and then I went visiting sisters this afternoon. What a day and I am extremely tired.

Grateful Statement: I must say that today I am grateful for Crystal, my wonderful councelor and her willingness to visit. I also am grateful for the scriptures. Today I learned that Jethro was Moses' father-in-law. I am blessed beyond measure to have the scripture to study.
