We woke up to rain this morning. It rained all day long. 

Sheri called this morning about a problem with her floor buckling in the kitchen area. She talked to James for awhile and he is going to look at it when we go down next week for Thanksgiving.

I left to pick up Kerri Halcomb this morning around 10:45. Tamara and I are going to lunch with Kerri so she can tell us about some health issues she is having. 

Kerri and I visit on the way to town. Tamara is meeting us at the restaurant because she says she has some errands to run in town.

I told Kerri to wait until we were with Tamara before she talked about her health. 

We are having lunch at El Charro where Kerri and I had lunch about a year ago and she told me about a bacteria she is receiving infusion treatments for. We ate chips and looked at the menu until Tamara arrived and we all ordered. We all ordered the two item special.

Kerri got a chicken enchilada and a tostado. I got a chicken enchilada and a shredded beef taco and Tamara got a chile relleno and a chicken chimichanga. The waitress asked us if we wanted separate checks and I said I was paying for Kerri's. Tamara then said she wanted to pay for everyone's. That was nice of her. Tamara doesn't work at the library, she works for Jimmy at Beacon Treatment Center. They just bought another treatment center in Show Low and are making the needed changes to make it profitable. For the future they are looking at the reservation. I am happy to see them doing so well.

Kerri is teaching full-time at Show Low High School. She teaches criminal justice and she focuses on the constitution. Way to go Kerri!

Kerri does not have cancer. About a year or so ago she took me to lunch and told me she had picked up a bacteria. She said she was taking weekly infusions and I checked with her from time to time. She would say it was better but she never got rid of it and it will eventually destroy her kidney. The doctors said she has approximately 5 years. She does not want to tell her mother because she said she will stress out and worry. We have to honor that commitment. I am so grateful for these two friends!

It was still raining as we left the restaurant, Kerri and I going back to Vernon and Tamara staying in town to do her errands. After I said goodbye to Kerri and drove home I noticed that James was outside raking pine needles off the grass and putting them in the fire pit. 

I worked on my blog, walked with James and then we watched "A Merry Scottish Christmas" with James. This is a good movie starring Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf. 

James listened to Greg Matsen this afternoon to a Palestinian Christian woman who says that Israel is killing innocent people, including patients in hospitals. 

I love this little sweetie!

I love movies starring these two:

Autumn Reeser & Antonio Cupo
