I know. Its boring to hear people complain about the weather. We have weather all over. It is just that we have had more than our share. It has rained nearly every day for the past 3 weeks. Finally, we have had 3 days of sun. It is just that now that its sunny, its also in the 20's at night and fairly chilly during the day. I have been taking pictures from my house that show the same view at different times and sometimes on different days and they are pretty dramatic.
Also pretty. The leaves are falling...read that -gone- now....and the three days of autumn are beautiful. I had the 16-18 year old boys from church spend the night Friday night and we hiked Mt. Baldy (the mountain we live on). Our goal is to hike it once a month for the entire year, rain or sleet or now or gloom of night. So far we have made two trips and have taken different routes each time, and the hikes have been quite vertical. As the snow starts to make the trail slipperier, we may find hiking from the other side with snow shoes will be easier, but coming down just gets better.

I just took Beverly to the airport. She is flying to Phoenix where she will meet Rebecca. Rebecca has, by now, counted every possible Cuckoo bird in Arizona and since she is done, she is coming home. Beverly is joining her to help her drive. She is bringing all her stuff, and all the rest of the stuff she can stuff into her car. They plan to spend 10 days or 2 weeks on the trip and will have great tales to tell, I'm sure.

Jonathon is still on his Mission in Uruguay. We hear from him weekly and he is having a great time preaching the Gospel and loving the people. He has about another year to go.

Our lives are so blessed by our children and grandchildren and the beautiful place we are fortunate enought to live in, our friends and associates, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Until next time.
