I got so many birthday wishes today through phone calls, texts, Facebook, Instagram, cards, and a letter from James.
One of the first things I did this morning was order Charlie's birthday present. I texted Kacey and asked what books Charlie likes to read. She said she is in to the Disney Never Girl books. She read the first series and Kacey ordered her the 2nd series. I told her I would order the third series, which I did.
Dennis called this morning to wish me a Happy Birthday. He asked me what I had planned and I said I wanted to go get Italian food, does he know a good restaurant. He said Red Devil. That's where James and I went for our anniversary last year. He said he and Denise would like to come if that would be all right. I said it would be more than all right, it would be wonderful. Harold called and I invited him and Vickie to come too. We are meeting there at 5 p.m.
I am so happy to be able to get to see my brothers and their wives.
James came home from work early to help me. The first thing I wanted him to do was get rid of the dead wasps in my office. He vacuumed the entire upstairs and cleaned the toilet which Tom had been drinking out of. There were paw prints all over the seat.
He washed and changed the sheets on our bed. This afternoon he had a phone meeting with Armando and David Chacon. Armando ended up collecting $10,000 in cash which he took to Brian. There will be more to come when the extras are resolved. Mr. Chacon does not like Salvador. He thinks he is dishonest. That has not been our experience with Salvador although he may owe us some money regarding the remodel on Chacon's bathroom.
James and I left the house around 4 this afternoon to drive to Red Devil which is in Pinetop. We got there just about the same time as Harold, Vickie, Dennis & Denise. Denise went in ahead of us to get a table. Even though it was only 5 this place was packed. Denise did manage to get us a table right in the middle of the restaurant.
Our order went something like this: Denise got the chicken marsala, Dennis ordered the chicken alfredo, Vickie got a salad and something with portabella mushrooms. Harold got a pizza and James got scallops, shrimp, and noodles in marinara sauce. I got the 3 large 5 cheese ravioli "pillows" ( my name for them). Our waitress served us bread, butter, olive oil and balsamic vinegar while we were waiting for our meal.
We waited, and waited, and waited. It was busy and they took a long time to serve us. Finally our food came. I was happy with what I got. The five cheeses in the ravioli were so creamy and delicious. Denise, Dennis and James were satisfied with their meals. Vickie complained that the dressing on her salad was sour and that her food was burned. Harold's pizza was burnt too. I felt so bad for them. I am not sure why they didn't complain to the waitress. It could have been because they didn't want to take the time because we had already waited so long for our food. They never said anything to anyone but they did not leave a tip and they told us they would not come back. It put a little bit of a damper on the evening because I felt bad for them.
I received a video from Charlie wishing me a happy birthday. Tomorrow is her first day of school and she went to bed before we got home. Otherwise we would have Face Timed with them.
I missed seeing my friend Millie today who share my birthday. I told her I would come and see her tomorrow.
It was a good day for me even though I am in physical pain. I was in so much pain during the night, in my neck, that I took a couple of aspirin. I am taking a chance because they make my face swell, but nothing else seems to help with the pain.
