Perk pile at the Baseline & Country Club
Costco. I sent this picture to Trina and she was so excited!
Happy Birthday to my dear friend
Patsy Tedder!
We are going to lunch together next week.
James took me to the valley on a whim. It was 7:10 and I was studying Moses 6 but feeling a little sad when he said, "If we're going to the valley we need to leave by 8." I said, "I thought you wanted to wait until Friday. He said, "Either one." That's all it took to get me going! We listened to Kerry Muhlstein on "Follow Him" along with Hank Smith and John Bytheway.
It was around 8 o'clock when we left. We went the Payson way because we weren't sure if they were blasting in Superior, although it didn't say anything on the marquee. The only thing I like about the Globe way is when you come out on the other side of Superior and see the Superstition mountains. I love that view!
We went straight to Costco when we got in to Mesa. I wanted my Perk. I shouldn't have worried, they had plenty. I got six cans, one case. I also got a case of Fairlife shakes, my lifeline, James got a bottle of Pom and a box of his favorite crackers, I bought him a package of Godiva dark chocolate, a pair of black pants, 1 case of paper towels and one of toilet paper and a bag of laundry detergent.
We did the self-checkout, but never again. It was quite an ordeal and we needed some help. Since we were going to lunch with Sheri and Addy, I skipped my hotdog at the food court.
We were meeting Sheri and Addy at Olive Garden for lunch at 12:50. We were a little early so I suggested we go to Chandler Eyecare and have Addy put the temple dress I brought for Trina in her car.
We got to Olive Garden before Addy and Sheri and so we were walking around the building when they drove up. Sheri thought maybe we didn't know where the entrance was but Addy said, "I think they are just walking."
James and I had planned on paying for lunch because we had invited Sheri and Addy but Sheri was sneaking and paid before we knew it. She said it was for Dad's birthday. Thank you Sheri. James did have one of his favorite meals, chicken marsala. I had the chicken parmesan and Addy and Sheri had soup, salad, and breadsticks.
I forgot to take a picture of Sheri and Addy. I am kicking myself for my forgetful neglect. I am writing this on Wednesday, February 4th. I texted Sheri and asked her to send me a picture of her and Addy together. This is the picture that she sent:
I talked a little bit at lunch about my anxiety and depression. Sheri knows what I am talking about because she had it for months. After lunch she texted me and said she wanted to come up for her birthday, Feb. 20th, and we could talk. She also said she was going to send me something that has been helping her. She said she is finally "pulling out" of her depression. I am sad when they leave and we say goodbye. I told James I was too sad to go see Catherine but we would go see her on Feb 11-12 because that's when I told her I was coming.
Hobby Lobby is right behind Olive Garden and I talked James in to going in and looking around. He didn't mind too much because he likes the store too. We found some new wooden hearts for my Relief Society handouts. These are much bigger. James put four packages into our basket. He really liked them. I didn't protest.
James asked me which way I wanted to go home. I told him I would let him decide. He said: "Well, because I know that Payson is your favorite way, that's the way we will go. As we were driving up Highway 87 from Mesa to Payson I made the comment that I missed seeing the Superstition Mountain. James said, "Turn around and you will see it." It wasn't close up like it is off the 60 but I did see it. We also got to see Four Peaks and Red Mountain.
We got home around 5:00 this evening. Tom, of course, was happy to see us. In our many potty stops I've decided that most Circle K bathrooms are meh!
We are supposed to go to the temple in the morning with the Tignor's. I wanted to change it to Friday morning but T-Bo said they had a prior engagement. I took a shower and did some walking and then James and I went to bed. Tom slept on the corner of our bed on his blanket.
James got a text after we were in bed from T-Bo. The neighborhood has a broken waterline and they won't be able to go to the temple tomorrow. He said they would have to postpone until next week.
I cancelled our appointment for tomorrow and changed it to Friday's 10 o'clock session.

Behold my Spirit is upon you, wherefore all thy words will I justify; and the mountains shall flee before you, and the rivers shall turn from their course; and thou shalt abide in me, and I in you;
therefore walk with me.
