At 7:45 everyone else in the house was gone except James, Lola, and I. We took Lola to Silver Valley Elementary School at 7:45. The drop off line was long. We said our goodbyes as Lola got out of the car and waved to us. She seemed excited to be at school.
We wanted some breakfast and we were headed to IHOP on Southern and Signal Butte when we passed a Panera and decided to eat there instead. We were quite disappointed. We each ordered a bacon and spinach souffle. Although it tasted fine, it was quite small. It cost me $10 for an orange juice, a small apple juice and a lemon cookie. Prices were too high. We wished we had gone to IHOP.
We went back to Darrel and Trina's as James had some work he needed to do on the computer. My phone had been connected to their internet last night but for the life of me I couldn't get James's computer to connect. We got frustrated and finally gave up and left for Sheri's. We stopped at the Circle K on Germann and Arizona Avenue for gas hoping it would be cheaper than other stations but it was not. We then went to the Home Depot on south Arizona Avenue for the part James needed for Sheri's to flush out the line. James brought in the black hose from the side of the house to the drain under the kitchen sink. Ollie was afraid of it, thinking it was a snake I think. He was shivering by Ben's bedroom door. I tried to soothe him and he responded a little. Ziggie could care less about the hose. James had me turn on the hose outside, wait 20 seconds, and then turn it off. We blew up the piece James bought at HD like a balloon and it popped. He does think we cleaned out the line from the garbage disposal to Max's downstairs shower. Max was at home. He has a job interview today somewhere that Alex set up.
When we thought we had cleaned out the line we went to pick up Sheri at work to take her to Firebirds for her birthday lunch. This was her choice. After the waitress took our order and brought us a couple of loaves of bread we must have waited a good 45 minutes for our food to come. It was a ridiculously long time. Sheri and I each got a strawberry and shrimp salad and James ordered ribs and mashed potatoes. We guessed it was the ribs that took so long. James said they were the best he has ever had.
Sheri was anxious to get back to work because she had a friend that was stopping by the office to bring her a gift. We gave Sheri her card during lunch and I don't know why I didn't take a picture.
Happy Birthday!
Sheri's surgery will no longer be done by her regular gynecologist. She is going to an oncology gynecologist for a biopsy and he will also be doing her hysterectomy. She is very calm about her situation and feels that everything is going to be fine.
Chandler Eyecare.
After we took Sheri back to work, it was a little after 2. James's meeting at Dobson Ranch Landings isn't until 6. We were both exhausted and so we went back to Darrel & Trina's for a nap.
No one was home when we got there and we went straight up to Rowan's room for our nap. A little while later there was a knock at the bedroom door. It was Lola. She said, "I wondered if you were here because I saw your car outside." Yes, we are still here sweetie. She was fine with that and went back downstairs to entertain herself.
Ruby and Rowan made it home before we left. We gave them and Lola a hug when we left for James's meeting a little after 5. We arrived at the Landings at Dobson Ranch a little before six. The woman James has been corresponding with and told him the meeting he was to speak at wasn't until 6:30 so he and Armando have 30 minutes to look around at the job they will be doing. I had found a walking path and was getting in my steps. Here were some of my views:

James has been asked to do some repair work on one of the lakes linings and also to replace some rotting posts. The insurance company says unless this work is done they are going to drop their policy. It is going to be very costly to drain the lakes to do the work. The company who will be doing it says $50,000. James was floored when he found this out.
James and Armando didn't get out of their meeting until after 7. We were going to go back to Sheri's so James could give her a blessing but when I texted her she said she was really tired and asked if dad could do it when we come down on March 1st. Of course.
We headed for Broadway and Dobson for Whataburger Juniors and then we got on the 101 to the 87 and headed for Payson.
It was after 10 when we got home. We were so happy to see Tom and he seemed happy to see us. We let him stay inside for the night.
James told me today that Elder Renlund and his wife will be coming to Show Low to speak at the women's devotional. Great news! I love his talks!
I managed to get my steps today. Since I didn't get them all yesterday it was critical for my self-esteem to get them today. (jk)
