Alex sanding and touching up paint
on the new kitchen lights.
 
Alex, Seth, Ben, and Joe Kelly have certainly been a big help with our renovating of our home here in Chandler.  I don't know what we would have done without them.
 
Jared and his kids left for California this morning for a two day vacation.  They are going to the beach and then on to Magic Mountain.  I am a little worried about Jared.  He looks awfully tired.
 
This is the first time I have felt like going anywhere for awhile.  I texted Kim and Sheri to see if they wanted to take Max and Evan to see the new Disney Pixar movie "Inside Out."  Ben ended up going with us too.  We all liked the movie.  It was insightful and clever and very family oriented.  Thank goodness there are still a few good movies out there.
 
I had a nice chat with Vickie today.  She is cleaning out closets, etc. at her house to make room for Colby, Cher and Brian.  Colby is back from Florida, and Brian and Cher are coming back from Washington.  Since they leased out their house, they need a place to stay.  As Vickie was cleaning she found the old Mickey Mouse phone I had given to my mom one year for her birthday.  She asked me if I wanted it.  At first I said no, but when she sent me this picture I changed my mind.  I do want to keep it.
Surely I can find a place to set this in our cabin even though
we won't be using it as a phone.
 
James and I had dinner at the Rubio's next to the Crossroads theater on Gilbert and Germann.  We each had a fish taco and James also had a chicken toastado.  He liked the toastado the best.  I loved my fish taco with guacamole.
 
We came home and read from "The Girl in the Gatehouse."  Reading a novel together is our escape, especially since we don't watch much T.V.
