Remember the kings, the princes, the nobles, and the great ones of the earth, and all people, and the churches, all the poor, the needy, and afflicted ones of the earth;
It was almost 7 before I crawled out of bed this morning. My get up and go has got up and went.
My friend Kerri Halcomb had a kidney transplant a few years ago. Once or twice a year she goes to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale and has tests done that take up most of the day. Today is one of those days. Her mom Catherine called me earlier in the week and asked me if I would like to go to lunch with her on Friday. Of course I said yes.
I picked Catherine up around 11:20 and we were on our way.
I asked Catherine where she wanted to go and she said, "no, you pick." Then she said, "I just want a salad."
I suggested Persnikkity's and when she didn't seemed too excited I said, "How about Denny's." She thought that sounded okay.
We were coming upon the stop light by the two big motels when Catherine pointed out the new little restaurant called Pitalians and said that it was a really good restaurant. She said it in time for me to make the turn.
The place is very casual and they focus on pizza. The menu is up on a board and you stand in line and order what you want. Catherine ordered the lentil bean soup and the house salad and I ordered the same except I asked for a different dressing, a balsamic vinaigrette.
I was getting us some water when the waitress delivered our food. She gave Catherine my salad and Catherine had already taken a bite before I could tell her of that was my salad. I just let it go.
The food and the salad was delicious and we even had food to take home for dinner.
After we finished our lunch we stopped by Dominoes to pick up a think crust veggie pizza for James. Traffic was very busy today and it would have been difficult for me to turn out towards Vernon, so I turned right towards the middle of town. I made a left at the light in the middle of town and went up a block passed the church on the hill where I attended as a teenager. I went down to the corner and was going to turn left on White Mountain Blvd. but the sign said, no left turn. I had to turn right and make a left into the Splash & Dash carwash and gas station, go back out on White Mtn. Blvd. and make a right on Deuce of Clubs Avenue to head out of town towards Vernon. Whew! We are finally on our way home!
Catherine wondered why I didn't get a pizza at Pitalian's instead of Dominoes. I told her I knew that James loves the thin crust veggie at Dominoes and I wasn't sure about the ones at Pitalian's. Maybe next time.
Catherine likes looking at the clouds and seeing pictures in them. There were lots of white fluffy clouds to look at on the way home. She talked about how much traffic there is now and how it has increased the few years she has lived here. She loves watching the Olympics and she watched all of the Republican National Convention. She is a big Trump supporter. When he got shot she ask me to put his name on the temple prayer roll, which I did.
She said she has listened to or watched the Olympics since they first started. Before television she listened to them on the radio. She is ninety years old.
After dropping off Catherine at home I headed for home for some R&R. James was grateful for his pizza.
I finished my book, "Highcliffe House". James walks while I work on my lesson. This afternoon he took my car to town, washed it, and filled it up with gas. Thank you Honey!
We got no rain until early in the morning when the lightning and thunder started. Tom was outside all night. He came inside at 4 am when the noise started.
Notes & Quotes
"If ye love me, keep my commandments." This I can do. I can love Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, which then leads to prayer, scripture study, and temple worship. We love the Father and the Son through the payment of tithes, keeping the Sabbath day holy, living a virtuous and chaste life, and being obedient.
