My absolute favorite picture of Lola!
James found a 1986 journal with the following entry:
"We discussed family rules and consequences tonight at FHE.
Some people cried, (Stacy, Jared, and Darrel).
James thought this was hilarious!
We read our scriptures and said our prayers before getting ready to leave for the valley. I ironed five blouses, and by the time we ate leftover stew for lunch and finished getting ready it was 1 pm before we left. James has to turn off the water, etc. and that takes about 15 minutes.
We stopped at the carwash in Show Low and then James said we could go whichever way I wanted. Of course I chose Payson.
I read to James for awhile and then I took a nap.
We were late getting to Darrel's and they were already gone to soccer practice, so we joined them there, at Power and Guadalupe. When we get there Sheri, Trina, Addy, and Lola were just getting ready to walk to Quiktrip, so I joined them. We got some snacks and then James showed up in the car and said it was time for us to go. We are going to Cheesecake Factory with Kim and Brian for James's birthday. Addy came with us!
Cheesecake Factory was busy and we had to wait 20 minutes just to be seated. I ordered the herb crusted chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was delicious with three pieces of chicken. I ate one piece and James at the other two plus most of my mashed potatoes. He ordered the steak medallions off the skinnylicious menu. He said they were delicious, but the portion size was quite small. Addy got spaghetti with three huge meatballs. She didn't touch the meatballs and ate very little of her spaghetti, because she said there wasn't enough sauce. She ended up taking it home along with her piece of 30th anniversary cheesecake.
We also got three pieces of the salted caramel cheesecake to go, one for Kim, Cathi, and me. Thank you Kim and Brian!
We took Addy back home and then James and Darrel loaded up the black filing cabinet that James left for Trina and that she has been trying to give back to us.
We finally got to Cathi and Terry's and Cathi and I sampled our cheesecake and visited a little while before going off to bed.
