Ten Virtues

Gratitude
Gratitude is the beginning of civility, of decency and goodness, of a recognition that we cannot afford to be arrogant. We should walk with the knowledge that we will need help every step of the way.

Last night we said goodbye to Charlie and her mom and dad. Today we went home to Vernon. We stopped by Chandler Eyecare to get James's glasses that Sheri fixed. She gave me mine in my new frames on Friday when we got there. 

The desert is so lush and green and there are little yellow flowers scattered throughout. It was a pretty normal trip with a stop at the gas station in Payson. We went on to Show Low and stopped at Arby's for lunch. James's choice, not mine. James got his favorite sandwich, a turkey Reuben. I got a cheddar beef, the first one I've ever had. It was okay with a little Arby's sauce. We got home a little after noon. 
After unloading and putting away James took a nap. He gets tired after driving home from the valley. 

I sat down to relax and watch some TV. The satellite is off. I try to restore. It did not record one of the shows I left to record, Aurora Teagarden. I watched the new Hallmark movie starring Jen Lilley and Ryan Pavey, "A Little Daytime Drama." I love both of them but I thought this movie was extra boring. I also watched this week's episode of "Chesapeake Shores." 

I tried calling Apple to make sure they had my correct address for sending my bill for my new phone. I had to speak to five people to finally get the answer I was looking for. Why does everything have to be so complicated?  Afterwards it was time to take a shower so I could relax and feel refreshed.

James and I have separate dinners. He makes himself some tilapia and I have macaroni and cheese. I did some indexing and then I was going to work on my blog but I decided I needed a 30 minute nap before I started. I laid down on the recliner in the family room and slept longer that 30 minutes. James was at the dining room table doing indexing. I actually woke up and decided it was time for me to go to bed. No blogging today. 

Sheri did two things for me today. I forgot my Mifi and she sent it to me. She also took my old phone into the Apple Store because that was suggested to me by one of the agents I spoke to today. Thank you Sheri for being the kind of person who gets things done and helps other people!









These guys sang an Irish song to us at Addy's work.
We tipped them big time.
