When we got to the valley we turned on to Shea Blvd. and traveled down Shea until Tatum. We turned right onto Tatum and then got a little bit lost looking for 4435 E. Paradise Village Parkway. There was some construction and Paradise Village Parkway is one of those windy streets. Finally after much wandering I looked at the address again: 4435 E. Paradise Village Parkway South. The South made all the difference. We went north on Tatum, turned left onto Cactus and south again on 44th. Stone Creek is right next to the Embassy Suites Hotel. Duh! The Embassy Suites is my home away from home. While James was in his meeting I needed to use the little girls room. Luckily I found a Target right across from Paradise Valley Mall.
Did I ever mention that Target is my favorite store? I bought myself a new purse that I love!
It is made of soft leather and I love the color.
It looks better in person.
I couldn't resist taking this picture.
You don't see many of these in Vernon.
I picked up James after his meeting and we were on our way to Darrel's house. When we first arrived Darrel was home alone. Addy and Rowan were at school and Trina and Ruby were are the gym. Darrel showed us his latest home improvement project. Tile backsplash in the kitchen. You did a nice job Darrel.
Soon Ruby was home. Darrel had to run an errand, Trina went in the bedroom to change her clothes, James was snoring on the coach and Ruby and I played ball. She showed me what she made in preschool.
It's a marshmallow M. Ruby says you can't eat the marshmallows because they have glue on them.
Then she whispers to me:"I ate some of the others though."
Darrel and Trina took James and I to Chili's for lunch for my birthday. Sheri got off of work on her lunch hour and met us there. I had my favorite Chili's menu item, Caribbean salad with grilled shrimp.
Some of my favorite people in the world.
After lunch we said our goodbyes and went to Stacy and Paul's so James could fix the leak in the pool pump. I visited with Stacy and Adam and we watched part of the Rock Center special on Mormon's. Adam had to leave because he had a date with a girl named Alicia. Stacy had to pick up the boys from school. I got hugs from Joshua, Michael, and Dallin before we left for home.
Again I sleep until Payson. We got in quite a rainstorm going up the rim. James talked to Terry who was in Long Valley at the Del Rio 2nd ward outing and he said it was just starting to rain on them.
I missed Show Low High School's first football game in St. John's tonight. Show Low won and Colby who is the starting quarterback was player of the game according to the radio. I will be at the game next week.
It's good to be home. We watched Train on the Today show sing 3 songs. I taped them for Trina because I know she likes them.
