Tammy's 18th Birthday.  She is a good girl and may go to Maryland where she will be employed as a nanny.  Quite a few of the girls around here are doing this.  Sheree's (Tana) is working as a nanny in Hawaii and loves it.  I think Tammy will do very well.

I have been washing most of the day.  Loye took a load of trash to the dump so I rode up with him.

Josh bought us a great big supreme pizza for lunch and it was yummy.

Tiffy came down so her and I ate an ice cream cone out in the shad of the back porch.

I finally got my kitchen and bathrooms cleaned so Loye took me up to Guayo's where we ate Spanish Food.  Afterwards we went over to Earl and Violet's and visited for about an hour then we came home and I made Josh's bed as I had taken the sheets off earlier.  And now I'm in bed trying to stay awake and write in this book...z z z...

Today started out much brighter than yesterday and would have been a nice simple easy day at work, but Kate decided we had better make cookies, so we did and our really turned into a busy day but at least on Monday we won't have to make cookies.

After coming home and resting for awhile I done the syrup on my pickles and fixed supper early so we could get to the football game on time.  (Snowflake playing Globe in the first game of the season.)

Jason plays in the band this year so he had to be down there at 6:15 so Jared took him down.  Mom went with us to the game but she didn't feel good so since Liza was going home at the end of the 3rd quarter Mom went with her.  Babe McCray had a heart attack during the game and he was sitting next to the top row so the medics had to carry him clear down from there.  I haven't hear how he got.

Snowflake easily beat Glove 28-8.  The cheer leaders threw little blue and white footballs up into the stands, Jared caught 2 of them.

At school today we had baked chicken, potatoes and gravy, rolls, cucumbers, jelly and milk.  We served 341 people.

After work Kate and I went over to the feed store where we each bought a bushel of peaches for $15 a piece, when we got the hoe they were pretty green, but maybe they will ripen.

About 2:30 Loyelin came down with Rick.  He left her here and went on to work.

We all went down to Snowflake to watch Cristina play volleyball on the freshman team.  They played St. Johns but Snowflake won pretty easy.  Cristina served 14 points in a row.  Ann Rogers made the last point to win the game.

Mom came down so I sat on the bottom row with her to watch the game.

When we came home Loye and the boys were home, so I took Loyelin on up to her home in Shumway.  Came back and made supper which we ate then I went to bed.

Geneva had Verlyn give me one of the artificial plants that Verlyn makes and it was really pretty, for writing the poem for Kristen.  She didn't have to but it sure is nice.

Today we made more zucchini Bread.  The schwans man came by and I bought food that I couldn't afford, but maybe my family will enjoy it.

I came home and took care of my pickles and Liza and I sent to Snowflake and borrowed a lawn mower from Joe and Stella Williams so we could mow our lawn.  Loye had to put a wheel on it from our old mower and our wheels were much smaller, but it worked all right.  I bought some green corn at the Silver Creek Mill that Carl Cole had raised.  It sure was tasty corn.

Today started pretty gloomy but after working for awahile I felt better.  Kathy came to work and brought stuff to make zucchini bread for all of us.  The bread really tasted good.  Not much else today out of the ordinary.  Liza took Jared and Josh to Show Low with her kids to see the show "Karate Kid II".  They said it was a real good show.

Loye and I kept Tiffany, she got sleepy and went to sleep on Loye's lap.  I took her and put her in my bed where she slept until the kids came home.

Labor Day - Shirley Knights birthday and the 1st day of Dove hunting season.  We wanted to start home early today but when Jared and Jason got up to go hunting Jared's pick-up caught on fire.  So they took our pick-up and we waited for them to come back which they finally did, about 2 hrs later then they said they would.  After getting everything ready we went down through Nutrioso.  We had a real low tire so we stopped and asked Terry Reidhead who was out in his yard where we could get some air.  He sent us up the hill to a truck shop.  When we got in Springerville we stopped and got some gas, some nachos and a drink and went on home without incident.

I washed clothes for a while and finally went to bed and tried to sleep.
