"A soft answer turneth away wrath;
but grievous words stir up anger."
I left Scottsdale a little after 7 this morning. I dropped checks off for James and then went to Sams Club to get gas and to wash my car. I was at Dr. Cullimore's by 8am for my consultation. I have been feeling apprehensive about having this abscess in my gum area removed but after talking to Dr. Cullimore again today I decided that I am going to go ahead with the proceedure. I am scheduled for Tuesday, June 24th at 8am.
My next stop was the Chase Bank in Chandler to get money for birthdays: Ian, Brian, Dallin and Tricia all have birthdays within the next week or so. So does Ruby but I didn't get money for her. I also got 25 ones so while the boys are at the timeshare this week I can encourage them to learn some Articles of Faith. Yes, I am bribing them with money. I did some shopping at Walmart and Kohl's. I got shoes and clothes for James at Kohl's for father's day. I saved $142 by opening a Kohl's charge account. I got to see Kim while I was there. She is getting ready for Brian's birthday, father's day, and their trip to San Diego on Saturday. It was so nice to see her.
Next I had an appointment at Dr. Douglas's to get my new crown put on. Afterwards I met James for lunch at Elmer's.
After lunch I picked up Joshua, Evan and Max and dropped birthday cards off for Dallin, Brian and Ian. Evan and Max were hungry so we may a drive through In-n-Out Burger for lunch. They really do have the best burgers and fries although this time I didn't eat any. Oh I also dropped my computer off at Joe Johnston's and told him about my problem. He was pretty sure he could fix it.
It is almost exactly 30 miles from our house in Chandler to the timeshare in Scottsdale but it is freeway the entire distance.
I put the groceries away that I bought at Walmart and the boys got ready to go swimming. They were excited that I bought them a dozen donuts.
Such a fun time!
While the boys were at the pool I told them I would pay them a dollar a piece for each Article of Faith they could recite. Joshua earned $2, Max $3, and Evan $4. Way to go Evan! He is very motivated by money.
They used their money to buy snacks.
For dinner we got pizza and garlic knots from NYPD pizza. After dinner the boys wanted to go swimming in the small pool. It was fun to have the entire pool to themselves as they swam after dark.
