"The Sealing Power" quote:
"The very reason the earth was created was so families could be formed and sealed to each other. Salvation is an individual matter, but exaltation is a family matter. No one can be exalted alone."
We left for the valley this morning at 7 am. My appointment at the AARA for my infusion is at 10:45. It's hard to say goodbye to Tom. T-Bo will feed him and Luna while we are gone.
We went the Globe way because James convinced me that it's faster.
We had to stop for a train in Miami and then we got into the Renaissance Festival traffic even though we were going in the opposite direction. We arrived on time at AARA in spite of our setbacks.
Today in spite of taking Striction BP, my blood pressure was high: 163/82. I should have taken my prescription blood pressure meds along with the Striction. On the plus side, my weight was down.
There was anew phlebotomist doing the infusions today, well, at least she was new to me. Her name was Alicia. The first needle she put into my arm for my infusion squirted blood all over the place. She had to put another needle in at a different site in my arm. This time it worked. It's 11:00 when my infusion finally gets started and I have been here since 10:15. I guess it was okay that it took me a little longer today because it gave James time to spend his collected gift cards at Bass Pro. He got some shoes and some ammunition.
I was starving when I was finished with my infusion so we headed for the nearest Whataburger which is on Broadway and Dobson. We are on Baseline and Country Club. I had a junior green chili burger which was way to oily and James had what we both normally get, a Whataburger, Jr. We also shared some onion rings which were also greasy. Never again. From now on it's a Whataburger Jr. for me.
Our next stop was at Lois and Dawn's. I brought the quilt top, batting and backing back that Lois gave to me a few years ago. I told her she didn't have to get it quilted for me because she had already given me another quilt. She said I could have another quilt if I wanted but she was going to give me another quilt.
Lois is worried about Dawn. She says she seems to be losing her memory and the other day she fainted. So now we have both of them to worry about. We talked about the remodel Lois wants done on her bathroom. Gail is involved too so James needs to talk to him. As we were leaving, Dawn insisted we take some of her Mom's favorite cookies, so we did. We needed to leave to go over to Sheri's to see if James can unclog her drain. He worked on it for a few minutes and then decided he needed something at Home Depot and he would come back tomorrow to work on the drain.
Next stop, Deseret Book to spend my gift card Sheri gave me for Christmas. James and I both bought new garments, he got a necktie and I got President Nelson's book, "The Heart of the Matter" and a couple of smaller books by Emily Belle Freeman. After all of that, I still have over $11.00 left.
Costco in Gilbert is right next to Deseret Book so it was our next stop. Our main purpose for coming to Costco is to get James's pomegranate juice. They have always had it, until today. We got our other necessities, walnuts for James and pistachios for me but no pomegranate juice. I told James I had a Sam's Club card and we should go there for his juice. He didn't seem to convinced. Sam's Club was just down the road on Market St.
We looked around on our own for awhile. I found a cute blanket I just had to have but we couldn't find any Pom juice. I asked one of the workers and she said it was back in the cooler with the fresh fruits and veggies. James had already looked their but we went back again. Sure enough, there it was. James got two large 64 oz. bottles. On the way out I found some Crunch Master crackers, which are James's favorite. Two reasons I'm glad we came to Sam's.
Before heading for Darrel & Trina's we went through Chik-fil-a for some dinner. We each got three strips and ate them in the car. They were so delicious!
When we got to Darrel & Trina's Addy, and Trina gave us hugs. Trina asked where Lola was and I told her we had seen her outside playing. Trina seemed confused and right then, Lola came walking down the stairs. Oops, I guess the girl we saw wasn't Lola. We just saw her from the back but we were so sure it was her.
Trina had some chicken cooking in a skillet for dinner. She poured in some chipotle sauce, tasted the chicken and said it was way too hot. Addy tasted it and agreed, so Trina threw it out. Oh dear.
Ruby and Rowan came home and gave us a hug and soon Rowan was gone again. He and some of his friends have started an online business selling surfer shirts and hoodies. Trina left for her Monday night pickleball date and soon Darrel was home from work. He seemed pretty proud as he was telling me about Rowan's business. I asked him where he got the inventory and he said drop-shipping.
James walked to Safeway for steps. I would normally go with him but I didn't tonight because my right knee was bothering me. I asked him to get a birthday card for Sheri and some candy bars for the girls and I.
I gave Lola the Disney pictures I had printed for her and she put them in her Disney 2024 album. Ruby settled in to doing her homework and when Darrel got home she had him check it.
James and I slept in Rowan's room while he slept downstairs on the white couch with his guitar. Thanks Rowan for letting us use your room.
we leave for the valley.
I love the Jack in the Box!

Darrel Johnson's promises of money turn flat because it is President's Day and the banks are closed.
