My New Four Wheeler!!!!!
This is the new four wheeler Hal bought me last week. It's so nice and so is he!!! Just think of the fun!
Happy Day!!! 3 Miles Without Pain!!!
Last week I convinced my Doctor that if he would just give me steroid shots, I would be as good as new. He was nice enough to go along with it after I committed to go to appointment with a Sports/Back Doctor he set up for me.
I found my optimism to be a little over zealous when I felt the same pain the next morning and have been a bit sad every since. HOWEVER........THIS MORNING, I RAN THREE MILES WITHOUT PAIN!!!! IT'S A HAPPY DAY....
What???
Okay, you can tell that isn't me because I don't live by the ocean...I was afraid I woudn't be able to fool you!
OH....NO.....Where will I get a Fresh Lime Milk Shake Now???
I am so, so, SAD!!! Following is the first few lines of the article in the Post Register.
Get your box of kleenex!
History Melting Away.... 
Ashton Soda Fountain set to dry up Nov. 28th
After 70 years as a Main Street icon, City Drug will soon be closed. The store's pharmacy will relocate to the Ashton Clinic, but its soda fountain -- a survivor from America's Norman Rockwell era -- will shut down Nov. 28 if no takers come to keep it alive.

Week-End at Jessica & Jordans
We had a great weekend at Jessica and Jordan's. Mindys Family came with us. It was good to be down there and spend time with them. They live way too far away. It was fun to see their new house. 
Hal, John and Jordan golfed, we listened to conference, Hal bought me an awesome pair of running shoes, and we got to watch the Marathon!!!
When the men came home from General Priesthood Meeting Jordan found a huge Tarantula outside! Grandma Peterson would have been proud of him. After showing us all he took it out their back door and let it go.

Mortality at it's Finest!!!
Friday after school Tyra went to her friends cabin in Island Park and so Hal and I quickly threw some stuff together and went to the cabin too. It was strange being there by ourselves. It was so quiet. Each season is unique up there. In the summer time, there is so much excitement and anticipation. This time of year it is calm and peaceful. I heard a couple fishing boats on the lake and passed a couple other four wheelers and that was about it. We went on a great ride on the four wheelers. We went on the back roads to elk creek and then took that other back road towards Macks Inn but turned off on old railroad tracks trail and went to Big Springs. If I have seen it before this time of year, I don’t remember. It was amazing. The leaves had begun changing colors which lent a beautiful contrast with the leaves that were still green. It looked almost as if I had on 3-D glasses because lightest gold and orange colors popped out in front of the rest. It seemed as if they were just hanging in mid air. When we got to the bridge at Big Springs there were two moose
enjoying a good snack of foliage from the river. We took a few pictures. One thing I loved was listening to the visitors there on the bridge and watching the moose. It was fun to listen their joy in seeing it for the first time. We knew we better get back to the cabin as quick as we could because there were all kinds of storm clouds moving in and it looked as if there wouldn’t be anyway to escape getting drenched.
As we got closer to Buttermilk it started to rain a little bit but the rain drops were big and stung my face as we rode. I could hear the thunder crack around us after seeing lightning flash in front of us. We made it back to the cabin before the storm burst and were glad to be inside when it did. I had been working on the talk I had to give in Sacrament Meeting the next day before we went on our ride. Part of it concerned our choosing mortality even though we knew it was risky. When I felt the rain sting my face as we rode back to the cabin, it made me smile as I realized that had I not have made that choice, I wouldn’t have ever experienced the majesty and beauty surrounding me in this mortal experience. When we came down off Ashton hill there was an amazing rainbow that started right at the farm. A perfect place for one to begin!

Perplexed.........
Wednesday I went to Rigby to get my teeth cleaned. Don’t you love that feeling? No, not while they are doing it, afterwards, when you run your tongue over your clean teeth. Okay, anyway back to TIME. It is customary to line up that next 6
month cleaning before leaving. When the receptionist asked me if March...whatever, was okay, I almost corrected her. Certainly it won’t be March in 6 months! I was expecting December. If I would have counted I too would have come up with March but March...in 6 months NO WAY!!! The next morning on my way home from the gym, I passed this retirement home. I wondered if I’d wake up in a bed in one of those retirement centers some morning soon and feel the same way I did when she asked me if March was okay......
