This is going to be a slow trip because we are pulling a trailer filled with pieces of a swingset. Our first stop is at the Walmart in Silver City, New Mexico. I needed to get some batteries and kleenex. I must say it was one of the nicest Walmart's I have ever been to. The shelves were full, it was clean, and it wasn't crowded. There was a Subway inside so I got James and I a breakfast sandwich to share.
Our next stop was in Demming for a short visit with James's Dad. He always wants to meet us at Denny's. Since we had already eaten we met in the parking lot.

George is quite feeble. He says that the "bushes" James gave him in December saved his life. They are soldier berry bushes that grow around Vernon. George uses them to make tea. If you need any further details you will need to talk to George.
Next stop was for gas and then on to Jared & Tricia's. The kids were all there to greet us when we arrived.
I brought Anna and Emmy each one of my porcelain dolls. Anna has had her eye on Snow White for several years now. Emmy chose Jill from the Jack & Jill set so she got Jack as an added bonus. Molly did not feel left out because she says she already has a doll.

We got Anna a few small gifts which she opened. A light desk with patterns to trace, a manicure set, and a small notebook to write and draw in.
Since Jared was at work James and Tricia helped James unload the trailer. James and Tricia had to make a trip to Home Depot for replacement parts
This evening we all went to Golden Corral for Anna's birthday dinner. The best story of the evening is about Anna and Molly. Molly refused to eat so Anna took her through the line and let her pick whatever she wanted. She picked some broccoli and other assorted veggies which Anna proceeded to feed her. Molly was so happy because now she could get dessert. Thank you Anna for making Molly so happy!

Dessert #1.
One bite. She doesn't like the ice cream.
Vanilla ice cream cone.
Much better than peach flavored.
