Happy 11th Birthday Emmy!
We sure enjoyed having her at the cabin.
She took such good care of Lola.
Doesn't Molly look cute.
James went to the yard this morning to get ready for his job next week. He had to repair a broken hydraulic line on the Cat and then he went back over to Brian and Kim's to help with the last couple of doors.
I got up early and studied and then went to Cobblestone to get Lexy cleaned, inside and out. While I was there I bought a couple of turkey flatbread sandwiches at the Dunkin' Donut shop and visited with a couple of older women who wished me a good day. I wished them a good day and they said it would be a good one because they were doing a little retail therapy.
James and I picked up Kim a little before noon and we headed for the Mesa temple. We were early and sat in front of the chapel where you wait for your session. The session was filling up quickly. I looked over and saw James's sister Rebecca some in. What a treat to have her and Brent in our session!
The session was very full with two others besides Jeffrey going through for the first time. James sat by Jeffrey's bishop and we spoke to him after the session. He is very impressed with Jeffrey and the progress he has made. We gave Jeffrey a hug in the celestial room but didn't have much time to talk. Later I spoke with him and he said how happy he was and that he was grateful that we were there. He also said he would be going back again next week with his ward. I am so very proud of him!
On the way home from the temple we stopped at Bahama Bucks for some cooling refreshment on this 117 degree day. Kim and I got the strawberry daiquiri with ice cream which was absolutely amazing and luscious! James got key lime with a little cream. It was tasty too.
We took Kim home and then we went home to change our clothes and go to Pei Wei for dinner. They have made improvements to their spicy chicken salad. It was amazing, and so were the lettuce wraps that we shared!
My favorite salad ever!
Delicious!
Looks like someone is getting a ticket for
eating at Keegan's Grill instead of Pei Wei.
After dinner we went home and started our fast. We are fasting for missionary work and that Alex and Michael will want to serve missions.
James still had to fill he truck with gas and take it over to the yard. I picked him up and then he went to get a few groceries at Walmart. I am grateful, because I was too tired.
Here is how the Gonzales family spent the day, saying goodbye to Holly. Holly has been a part of their family for 14 years now and she will be missed.
Definitely a member of the family.
An Era has ended, the Holly Era.
