August 24, the evening sky over Linden, Arizona, looking to the southwest.

August 2010, we continued to reside with our daughter Ann and husband Steve and family. Summer rains blessed this mountain area during August.
On August 24, the evening sky was particulary beautiful. I took several pictures, all from Ann's home on Burton Rd in the Linden Valley.

Thursday, August 19, we attended funeral and burial services for Curtis Chapman, 51, held in Taylor, Arizona.
Curtis is the son of my cousin, Fullmer Chapman and his wife La Donna, residents of Taylor. Curtis was victim of cancer. He was much beloved by his family and friends. Three brothers and two sisters and his parents, children and extended family and friends participated in the services.

This is Tim Frost, a neighbor, across the road from Ann & Steve. He has horses and cattle, scattered about on a 100+ acre ranch. The children love to go over to "Tim's." He lets them help him feed the animals. He is a great neighbor and friend.
Here he is, giving Josh a ride on his quad. The road they are on is the private drive, leading back to the Frost home and other ranch buildings. This is the favorite area for our morning walks, Josh and me.

The Snowflake Arizona Temple is just a few miles north from Show Low.
This was taken from some distance away, while we were driving through the rsidential neighborhoods that surround the temple property.
The temple sits on a prominence a couple of miles west of Snowflake's main street.

On our first morning to take a walk since our return to Ann and Steve's in Linden, we saw Marisa Frost with her horse Freckles. The horse had been injured on the right front leg. They think she got into the barbed wire. Tim Frost, Marisa's father, has been keeping the horse in the corral at the barn and doctoring her injury.

After a quick trip down to Mesa to be present when our daughter Amy and her husband Gary and son Caleb spoke in their ward Sacrament meeting, we settled down for the month of August with Ann, Steve and family in Linden, Arizona. I needed a jacket the first morning we went for a walk.
This is Gracie and her younger brother, Josh, out helping their grandpa get acquainted with the neighborhood.
