Last Friday Clarine and I decided on a little date - something to change the routine. So we loaded into the van and drove to Brigham City by mutual agreement. Our plan was this: to drive to our favorite fruit stand -Pettingill's - on the "fruit way" south of Brigham City, and when we had finished shopping the fruit stand to go to Maddox's for lunch-dinner (4:00 PM). You can order from the lunch menu until five - about $3,00 cheaper on average. We both had the halibut $15.00. We had enough left over to provide dinner for us after the temple last night. At Pettingill's we bought watermelon, cauliflower, egg plant, raspberries, peaches, strawberries, and who knows what I have left out. We thought it was fun to shop at a place where things are pretty much direct from the field. We did buy grapes and pineapple too which was available at the stand. At least the pineapple was not grown locally. On the way to Brigham City we stopped at Mrs. Cavanaugh's for some of their confections.
Today was our Regional Conference. Seventy-six stakes were involved. Some of the stakes got to go to the Conference Center - not ours this time
. The rest of the stakes all received the conference via satellite. It took the place of all of our stake conferences. President Monson presided and spoke; Elder Ballard talked too. President Hinckley's son from the Seventy conducted and gave a talk as did Sister Lant, the General Primary President. We went to our stake center for the proceedings. It was rebroadcast for the other half of the stake this afternoon. All of the talks were well prepared and presented. I wiped quite a few tears. Modern technology is helpful and wonderful.

There have been a pair of turtles visible much of the summer. For a couple of weeks I haven't seen them. I wonder if they have hibernated in the mud this early.
For your amazement I have included some pictures of the produce we got in Brigham City. Mostly we got larger portions than shown. Our cosmos have bloomed much of the summer. I included a pic of them as they seem so bright and happy. gwh
