James went to the dump for us and the Crane's this morning and then he stopped by the Tignor's to help T-Bo install a storm door.  T-Bo didn't have all of the tools and materials needed so they will have to continue another time. I stayed home and did laundry and cleaned up all of the dusty footprints on the wood floor. 

I started working on my blog then I felt tired, so I decided I would take a 30 minute nap. Instead of napping I turned on a Hallmark movie I hadn't seen, "Branching Out" and began watching it. It was one of those movies that draws you in and you can't stop watching. By the time it was over it was time for me to get ready to go to the valley. We left somewhere between 1 and 1:15. I said goodbye to my kitty until tomorrow evening. 

We have a low tire. It is the same tire that went flat a week or so ago. It is only about 10 lbs. low but low enough for the light to come on. 

We tried to get some air at Maverick but they only allow up to 32 lbs. in your tire and ours takes 39. James was upset he had to pay $2 for air. He stopped at Auto Zone for a can of air which put it up to around 30 lbs. He said this would get us to the valley.

We stopped in Payson for gas and so James could get something to eat at Culver's. He got a fish sandwich and a vanilla waffle cone. I got a mini Oreo shake, or whatever they call it.

When we got to Shea Blvd. we turned right and went through Scottsdale to catch the 101 and then the 202 west. We are going to Ruby's stake track meet in Deer Valley on 51st Avenue and Beardsley. 

We paid $33.50 to get in. If I had looked at my phone Darrel had sent me a family link so I wouldn't have to pay. Oh well, I guess I just donated to the AIA. 

We got there just in time to see Ruby run the 1600. We joined her fan club, Darrel, Trina, and Trina's parents Suzy and Bob. Ruby got 10th. She is doing very well for a Freshman and we look forward to the next three years of her track career.

 Ruby ran at 5:20 and she runs again at 7:20, the 800. Darrel & Trina let us use their stadium seats. Of course James couldn't sit still. He got up and walked. He moved the car closer. Bob ended up sitting in his seat. 

Ruby got 5th in the 800. Trina's dad got a great picture of her running but I didn't ask him to send it to me so this will have to do:

down her back. 

The temperature was in the 90's but we were

in the shade and it seemed much cooler. 

In fact, it was really nice.

Ruby's school, Eastmark, is a small school. It is in Division 3. Division 2 schools were here too. Joshua's team is in Division 1 and they had state at Red Mountain High School. 

On the way back to the east valley we stopped in Scottsdale at Chikfila and I got four chicken tenders with Chikfila sauce. James got a chicken sandwich. I shared a chicken tender with him. They were so yummy!

We stopped at the Fry's near Darrel & Trina's for a few items. 

We visited with Addy, Ruby, Lola, and Darrel before going to bed.

Trina was taking a shower and Rowan was gone. Here is some of the new: Lola got her birthday present a little early, an iphone. Addy got her hair cut and it looks great! Ruby is glad that track is over. Rowan went to prom with his new girlfriend, McKenna. He calls her Kenna.

Trina is training for an Olympic Triathlon.

Kim is home from the hospital. Sheri went to see her and is very concerned. Kim is very distraught. I am with her right now but it might be good if you guys had time to come and see her. I'm really worried about her mental state. She hasn't gotten any sleep and she has an overwhelming sense of terror. 

When the track meet was over we texted Brian but Kim was asleep by then so we told him we would come over tomorrow afternoon before going back home.
