I went to bed at 1:00 a.m. with two more chapters of my book to read. I got up this morning and finished the book, "The Bridge to Belle Island." It was a good one with a happy ending, the kind I like.

I had my prayers, scripture study and breakfast before leaving for Tempe around 10:20.

I was the first one to arrive at Lois and Dawn's only to find out that Cathi and Laura aren't coming. Neither one of them feel good today. I was disappointed but I understand. There have been times I haven't felt like coming to something too.

Soon Rebecca and her oldest granddaughter, Christina's daughter, Eden arrived. Dawn got Connie and Carmen on FaceTime. 

The first thing we did was have lunch, provided by Dawn & Lois. 

We each had a green salad with grilled chicken from Whataburger. There was also cherries, berries, and grapes. For dessert we had a banana split dessert and for the road, a brownie. 

Wow! How nice is it for them to provide lunch. Now it's time for the card making. Here again, everything we needed was supplied. All I had to do was bring myself. Carmen had sent a card and all of the supplies for everyone to make them. Here is my rendition.

 

Carmen made the pink paper on top.

I wish I would have taken a picture of

the one she sent Lois for Mother's Day.

Sitting by Rebecca I felt a little intimidated and Eden was a whiz and a natural. Here is one of the cards she made:

Eden is 9, almost 10

Cathi came on FaceTime but her image kept freezing. She finally called Dawn and said her blood pressure was high and she was going to go lie down.

I was the first one to leave.  It was around 2:00. My car was unbearable and all if blew out was hot air from the air conditioner. My eyes began to water and I couldn't see. I need to get to the freeway asap so I can speed up and create some cool air. It couldn't happen fast enough. Dorsey has speed bumps so I had to go slow and then there were several stop lights on Broadway. Finally the freeway!

Back at the timeshare I cooled things down so much I had to turn the AC off for awhile. I guess I overcompensated for my hot car. 

I blogged, and walked, and read and watched a movie. I am so predictable. I was going to start carrying my stuff down to the car because I leave in the morning, but it never happened. My last night of staying by myself.

Cardmaking at Lois & Dawn's
