Thirty days hath September....

....and they were a fast thirty days too!!  The beginning of fall, and
amazing weather.  I loved it.  Here are some of the highlights from
last month.

I went to the temple with this lovely group of ladies.  We had a
wonderful day together.
*MYOF Goal #24  - Attend the temple each month.

I had a Birthday to celebrate....one year older and wiser too.

Happy Birthday to Tara!

*MYOF Goal #3  - Do something fun with a friend each month.

I had a lunch date with Travis at Blue Mountain Pizza in Weaverville.

Very yummy pizza!!!

*MYOF Goal #40 - Have lunch with Travis each month at a new restaurant

                               in Asheville (we stretched the geographic boundaries 

                               a little on this one.)

I went to the Friends of the Library Book Sale with my sister,

Cindy.  The nice man who took this picture didn't realize that

I wanted the books in the picture too.  We had matching baskets

and they were full.

Decisions, decisions.  Which ones to buy, which ones to put back?

*MYOF Goal #9 - Read 50 books.

                        #12  - Nurture relationships with extended family.

I participated in my first Hunger Walk.

Thanks to my friend Nancy, for inviting me to walk with her.

We walked five miles and I enjoyed the walking and the talking. 

*MYOF Goal # 1 - Take 50 hikes.

                          #44 - Give 50 hours of service.
