Today is Martin Luther King Day so there was no school.  Here is one of my favorite Martin Luther King quotes:

"Education without morals is like

a ship without a compass,

merely wandering nowhere."

 

James worked at Reed and Janis Willis's today.  I had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Allen.  He wants me to start on my second hormone, Estradiol.  After my appointment I went through Sonic and got a chicken sandwich and a drink. 

 

Sheri and Trina took their kids on a hike this morning.  Afterwards Trina and her kids came out for a visit.  At one point Ruby came to Sheri to report that Ben was taking Sheri's chocolate.  Sheri posted this on Facebook:

 

 

Rowan had a great time playing with Joshua, Evan and Max, but Addy and Ruby were a little bored so Sheri, Trina and I took them to Bahama Bucks. 

 





Yummy!

Ruby is amazed!

Ruby needed a little help. 

Poor Lola, all she got was an empty

water bottle.

 

I had a little talk with Addy about reading the Book of Mormon by Easter.  She said that reading 5 1/2 pages a day was just "too much" for her. 

 

James and I had cooked cabbage for dinner.  We watched a Hallmark movie called "Wedding Bliss" and read from our book "Necessary Deception." 

 

Laura is feeling a little better today.

This morning we took Max to IHOP for his birthday breakfast.  Addy, Rowan, Ruby, and Ben came too.  As we order our breakfast Ruby decides she wants macaroni and cheese.  Rowan and Addy ordered chocolate chip pancakes.  Ben and Max ordered the buttermilk pancakes with sausage and so did I.   James had chicken florentine crepes.  Rowan got the clean plate award for the kids and James for the adults.  Ruby didn't eat much of her mac & cheese but Addy finished it off.

We went back to the resort and James, Ben and Max left for Chandler.  I stayed to wash sheets and towels and clean as Ian and Sheri are spending the night. James had to fax a letter to the Registrar of Contractor's for the Shakir's.  They have issued a complaint.  Sheri faxed it for him at Chandler Eyecare.

I took a cleaning break to play a short game of Five Crowns with Addy.  She won.  When I was finished I took Addy, Rowan and Ruby home.  Afterwards I went to Target to get Max's birthday money and card, and then I delivered it to him.  I stopped by the house to get my Enbrel and Jared Ammon was there.  He got his haircut.  The last time I saw him it was looking pretty shaggy.  He looked so much better. In other Gonzo news, Dallin passed his driving test. 

I also have a story to tell about Adam, but it requires it's own paragraph.  I guess he was out jogging the other night and some guy with a knife attacked him.  Adam grabbed the guy and got the knife from him and cut him in the exchange.  When the police came the guy was long gone.  There was blood on the ground and when they asked Adam where it came from he told them he had cut the guy and as he ran away he left a trail of blood.  Adam had a small scratch on his hand.  Wow! I guess he's got some of that Lambson toughness.  I am not sure how tough the Gonzales side of the family is, but I sure wouldn't want to meet Adam in a dark alley if he was mad at me. 

James left for home before I did.  He took Alex, Joe, and Michael with him.  l wasn't too far behind them.  When we left it was 118 in the valley and it was 82 when we arrived in Vernon.  It was smoky because they are doing some prescribed burns in spite of the extreme fire danger. 

The boys went for a walk after dark but didn't stay long because they got spooked when they heard a noise.

It is always good to be home.
