There is a big Young Single Adult Conference going on at ASU this weekend.  Jeffrey and Patricia Holland, Mitt and Ann Romney, Sheri Dew, Brooke White,and Danny White are a few of the Mormon celebrities coming.  I wish Adam, Jared, and Dallin would go but as it does out, none of them did.  I would like to have gone!

Today would have been my grandpa Albert Alexander Strickland's 125th birthday.  That's not too old according to biblical standards.  Abraham was 140 years old and still having children!

Sheri and Evan picked me up this morning and we all went to Rowan and Evan's soccer game together.  I also got to see Trina, Ruby and Rowan.  Ruby sat on my lap during most of the game. I missed seeing Addy, she was at dance lessons. While I was at the game James took my car to Erik's house for him to look at.  He came to the conclusion that the reason my check engine light is coming on is because I need a new gas cap.  Wow!  I am so relieved that it's something that simple.  Sheri said the same thing happened to her.

Ruby wants a hug from Evan

After the game Evan wanted Rowan to come home with him but Rowan has his first piano lesson today, which means he can't come over until this afternoon. Evan was a little grumpy when Sheri and I stopped at Kneader's for breakfast.  We both got omelets and Evan had the pancakes but he didn't eat much.  He said he wasn't in the mood for something sweet.  

I got back to Chandler and packed up to go home.  James had already left and was going by the job in Scottsdale at Troon North.  He had told he was going home the Payson way so I decided to go through Globe and stop at Burger House and get some burros.  Just as I was getting on the 60 from the 202 he called and said he was going the Globe way.  Well it was too late for me to turn back but I told him he got stop and get the burros.  As it turned out I stopped too and waited for him in the parking lot while I took a short nap.  That mixed green burro sustained me all the way home.  It's the last thing I ate before starting my fast.  I made a stop at Safeway in Show Low for grapes and coleslaw.  I realized after I got home they charged me double for the grapes so James called and told them.  All we have to do is go in Monday and give them our receipt.  

When we get home we unpack and then James layers my hair a little in the back before I take a shower.  While I'm taking my shower he watches "Person of Interest."  I told him to watch it without me because I've decided it's too violent for me.  We watch "Elementary" and a Hallmark movie: "Puppy Love."  James agrees that out of all three, Puppy Love was the best.  He's leaving the dark side and coming into the light!
