Average day until I drove to Highland to pick up my friend Eric. This cute little boy is traded back and forth between his parents and today his dad had to have a doctor's visit and couldn't pick him up. I went and was able to see my old principal, Dr. Higgins. It was good to see him and be glad that my teaching days are over. I enjoyed working for him, but I like working in my garden better.
It was not fun to drive on that freeway. Glad Dan had taken me on a dry run the night before and so it helped a great deal to know where all the roads went with so much road construction going on in the south end of the valley. I was very glad to pull back into my driveway in one piece.
Then I worked with Eric on his homework so that he and his dad didn't argue over getting it done. He will work for me where he won't for his dad. Strange family relations.
Oh well, it was an interesting day. We will be doing it in November when his dad has surgery on his leg, so this was a good practice.
Beautiful weather. I could live in 70 degree weather all the time.

September 23, 2011 Friday
Went to Grandparents day at Abbie's school. Fun to visit with her teacher. Stanley has been replaced with another boy. This teacher is more in control of the class and She likes Abbie. We did everything they had planned for us. It was busy, but that was okay. Then we took some things to Abbie's house and then to lunch at Zupa's. Good morning and a short nap. Neighbor came over to talk about another neighbor, Sister Brown who has passed away. We will miss her stories and keeping us on the straight and narrow line. She was and is a good woman.
Then another neighbor came over to ask about the funeral. I don't know why they think I know, but I did so I told him it would be next Wednesday.
Tonight we go to dinner with the old Stake Presidency. That will be fun. No pressure this time. Just a good meal at Olive Garden and time to talk.
Nice autumn day. 70 degrees and I love this weather.

Monday, did a little sewing, but the spirit said, "Go help the sister that can't sleep in her bedroom until the dust and whatever is vacuumed." I was waiting for the Relief Society president to give me a call, but the Holy Ghost beat her to the message. Another sister and I went and it felt good to be of service.
Tonight, my husband and her home teacher went to give her a blessing and her daughter also..They both are not feeling well. I hope our little cleaning will help the home and their breathing. We took dinner to them. I'm still waiting for the R.S. president to give me a call to tell me when I should go over and clean.
Dan and I then went to a hardware store and I got a long snow scraper that I plan on using to scrape the ground cover of weeds that is covering places in the flower garden that I do not want it to cover. So tomorrow after I mow the front lawn, I will use my arm muscles and scrape back and forth and try to get rid of the pesky green stuff that thinks it wants to fill in the spaces in the garden.
We went to Barnes and Noble and I weakened again and bought some more books. They seem to be an addiction to me, but I plan on giving them away this Friday to a school class, so I guess they will go to a worthy cause.
Now, to plan on sewing some more tomorrow. I'm certainly being slow on this 9-square quilt that I'm making. But a little a day and it is starting to come along. The second row was started today. Only three more rows to make.

Had hair done, then spent the day with Dan. Almost have all my Xmas shopping done. Then spent the day working on my garden. Hate to see winter come. Planted five more perennial plants today. Hope they take root and fill up some space in the front where I removed a plant that was taking over the entire front garden.
Reading a book about Attitude and Gratitude. I need to show more gratitude to people. Just finished a book written by Sister Belcher, the blind lady. She is another of my heroes. So positive and she has no sight.
Well, time to think about going to bed. Took my Avonex and Heavenly Father helped it go in without pain this week. Always thankful for that blessing.

Busy day but that's okay. Went to President Christensen's class on the New Testament. We are on the last six months of the Savior's life. He is teaching the gospel...no more no less. I love the way that the president teaches.
I even worked on a quilt, but spent more time in the garden. Fall is in the air and it won't be long before I can't spend days in the garden.
I need to spend time on the Sunday school lesson...so maybe tomorrow.

This is a day like Pearl Harbor that will live in infamy. . the day the Twin Towers were taken down in New York and the United States was under attack ten years ago. Another plane was to crash into the White House , but the people on the plane learned of the attack and they would not let that happen so they stopped the hi-jackers and crashed with the plane and all were killed. So many people lost their lives that day and so many brave people went into find the dead and the living.
Today there has been threats of still more bombs, but as of this hour, 6:00 P.M. mountain standard time there has none been reported. Living in fear is a trick of the devil and we have had prayers all day for peace in the land and people are flying flags to remind us of how important our freedom is.
My birthday was yesterday and I'm so glad they didn't take down the towers on my birthday. It would not be fun to have a birthday on such and awful date.
But Dan and I and Jede and Lyn all went to Touacahn instead to see and hear Wayne Newton and it was a wonderful overnight trip. He performed in front of the red rocks and it was wonderful. Of course, he could have performed in front of the garbage dump and I would have thought it was grand!
I had my temple recommend signed by our new stake president and I guess we are part of the the Taylorsville south stake for sure.
Tomorrow we start the Class with President Christensen again and life is back to what we consider normal. Can't believe that summer is over.

September 1, Thursday
September is my month. My birthday. I like this month. It makes me rather melancholy. OH well. Enough. I had two children this month and also a grand child was born this month. So much for that.
Tonight I still need to give myself Avonex...I'm glad I have the shot and Yet I still do not like giving it to myself. Never happy I guess. Oh well, here we go. Let's get brave and go and do it!
