Wes and I rode with Debbie Papa to Strawberry Friday morning.
We met LaMar in Payson, who was coming home from working in Holbrook.
Debbie went on to Strawberry to her brother's (Sam) home, and LaMar,
Wes, and I stayed in a Hotel in Payson. Saturday we drove around looking
at homes in Payson and saw some AMAZING places that would be
wonderful to retire in someday!! Then Saturday afternoon we drove to
Strawberry to visit our McRae cousins. Mark McRae just got off his Mission
and is having his Home Coming on Sunday. It is so neat that he came home
from his mission on Jodie's birthday!! Anyway we had a wonderful evening
with the family!! Debbie took me on a WONDERFUL 2 hour drive in this
cute little jeep up in the mountains. We ended up in Pine and then drove
back to Strawberry. It was SOOO much fun! LaMar and Wes got to go on a
long horse ride, which they LOVED!! Barbie is such an amazing gal, she is
still the Relief Society President and works full time for an Eye Doctor. Mark
has that HAPPY returned missionary glow! We ended up coming home
Saturday night late and so we missed his Home Coming Talk:( Sam McRae
has done MIRACLES with Uncle Verl's cabin! It is SOOO Beautiful! He
was so excited to have everyone come and visit him! He gave me some
beautiful raw pine wood to make a huge mirror and trim for my doors in my
mountain room that will look great! All he wanted in return was a
"Homemade" German Chocolate Cake!
