I promise that increased time in the temple will bless your life in ways nothing else can.

James had some work to do at Barbara's this morning. Since my infusion is not until 2:15, we left the house at 10 for the valley. 
We mailed Barbara Klug's birthday card and made a Sonic run. We go the Globe way because I think I am dropping James off at Peeler's in Globe. As we are driving along James says, to me, "I think I am going to go ahead and go to Mesa with you." I am very happy but I'm wondering why he waited to tell me until after we had made the choice to go the Globe way.

It was a little after one when we arrived in Mesa so we decided to go to Costco before my appointment. We looked for the chips Sheri suggested we get, lime and jalapeno, but could not find them. I got 6 more blankets to add to my collection. I just need one more for the Texas bunch. James got some supplements and we spent $190. 

James drops me off at AARA and he goes to visit his mom and Dawn. I am so excited that masks are no longer necessary. Frances and Ang both have masks on in spite of this. They run the infusion center. 

I get out before James gets back so I begin walking south on Country Club/Arizona Avenue. James picks me up and we drive to Cheesecake Factory at the Chandler mall. We have two gift cards given to us by Darrel & Trina to use at Cheesecake Factory. 

James orders stuffed mushrooms and salmon. I order the beet, arugula, avocado salad and a piece of cheesecake with berries. 
Before our meals come we are given a basket of bread with sourdough and molasses bread. James eats most of it after I have a couple of pieces of sourdough. I guess he was hungry and hadn't eaten since breakfast. 

When our food comes I am a little disappointed. My salad is quite small and there are very few berries on the cheesecake. As I eat the cheesecake it is not creamy like I like it. The flavor is fine, but not the texture. I love the strawberry cheesecake at Olive Garden. It is my absolute favorite. Sorry Cheesecake Factory.


This salad was delicious, just small.
I did not get a photo of the cheesecake or 
breadbasket.

We really wanted crab bites but they have been discontinued.
When we left, we immediately got on the 101 North. Yes, we are going home the Payson way. Or as James says, the "long" way. 
Before Payson I drink water, chew gum, sleep, and listen to our book with James and the last Hillsdale College Lecture regarding disappearing citizenship in America.

We stop in Payson for gas and a potty break and then it's on up the Rim. After we pass through Heber we pass 7 fire trucks or police cars going in the opposite direction. Don't know what was going on but it must be serious.

When we get home, after unloading the car, James goes out to feed Luna. I begin walking while watching "Dancing with the Stars." Some things that happened tonight on the show. Val has Covid so Allen danced with Gabby. It was Halloween so all of the dancers were dressed in costume. Gleb and Shangela got a perfect score of 40 and Charli and Mark were, for the first time, in second place with 39. The saddest thing is my second favorite dancer, Jordin Sparks, went home. Why isn't Vinnie ever in the bottom two? He is always at the bottom of the leader board. Those who are left in the competition: 
Heidi, Charli, Gabby, Shangela, Wayne, Daniel, Trevor, and Vinnie. 

James got an email regarding the Glendale Airport job today. They have the go sign. He has a meeting on November 9th at 9 a.m. in Glendale. Wohoo!
