I was up at 1am to wish myself a happy 65th birthday.  By 2am we left for Scottsdale.  James wanted to meet at Troon North where he is starting a job this morning with the superintendent Brad Andersen, and with Lloyd who is running the job.  I waited in the parking lot while they had their short meeting, then we headed south to the IHOP in Chandler for breakfast.  I took these pictures while waiting:
A beautiful morning on the desert.

I had a spinach and tomato omelet with hollandaise sauce.  James had ham and eggs but he was disappointed because his piece of ham was so tiny.  I should have taken a picture.

James had a meeting with Zaki this morning while I went to the house and sorted through our pile of mail. 
My driver's license expires today.  I thought I could renew online but not so because I had to take the vision test and get a new picture.  I had a lunch date with Karen Schneider today at 11am.  Karen bought my lunch and gave me a gift, a book entitled "Becoming His, A Daily Journey Toward Discipleship."  We had our regular fare, the sourdough bread with butter, coconut shrimp with the mango slaw, and a chocolate sundae for dessert.  Karen is such a good friend and I am so grateful for her in my life.

After lunch I went to the MVD and waited for two hours to get my new license.  Wow!  I look so old in my picture! 

I went back to Stacy's to change clothes and then went to Sheri's where James was waiting. When Sheri got home she and I went on a food run.  We went to Pizza Hut and picked up a pizza for the boys.  We then went to Sauce and got dinner for Ian and James.  Sheri and I got some bruschetta which was delicious!  We also stopped at Gigi's cupcakes and indulged.

This evening everyone, except Paul, Adam, Jared Adam, Trina, and Jared's family, came over to celebrate my birthday.   Sheri had a banana cream pie because she knows it's my favorite, and cupcakes for the kids.  Here are some of my gifts, not that I needed any, being with my kids and grandkids is really all I wanted.  Tickets to see SYTYCD on tour in November.  Going with Kim and Sheri.  James gets to come too!  Gift cards to Cheesecake Factory and Chili's.  Thanks to everyone!  It was a fun evening.

We spent the night at Sheri and Ian's.  Ben gave up his bed for us. 
Two broken limbs, and two of my favorite people.
