Happy Birthday Vickie!
You have a heart of gold.
Helaman 16:9-25
Why is it dangerous to depend on your own strength and on your own wisdom?
Michael - Man is foolish and when we choose to depend on our own thoughts before the scriptures we often find "reasons" to exempt ourselves from commandments. It's like a slow but dangerous road to becoming an apostate.
Sheri- It is justification for unrighteous behavior.
GC: "A Choice Seer Will I Raise Up" Elder Craig C. Christensen
' Because Joseph was a prophet, we have more than a window into heaven, the very doorway to the eternities is open to us.'
I love this.
After prayers, scriptures, and a General Conference talk I read to James from 'Wars of Light' the second in the Millennial Glory series. At about 10:40 I left for my dental appointment at Aquila Dental. I am scheduled to have a new crown put on over the root canal Dr. Higgs did last month.
I ask the doctor to please look at my other missing crown and do an estimate of how much it would cost to replace it. He took pictures and showed them to me. It wasn't pretty. I have a broken tooth. Not only would I need a crown but I would have to have repair work done on the tooth.
James and I met for lunch at Jersey Mike's and then I went back to brush my teeth and go on to my appointment to have my teeth cleaned at Dr. Douglas's. Dr. Douglas was leaving to do something with her son, Evan when I got there. I saw Jackie who cleaned my teeth, and then Melissa, Dr. Douglas's assistant. They both agreed that I needed to have the tooth extracted and gave me a referral to an oral surgeon. The story with my teeth is a continuing saga.
Back to Cathi's for a nap and then on to my next big adventure. I drove to Power and Baseline to pickup a month's supply of thyroid pills from Dr. Allen's. There was a wreck on the way over which really slowed me down.
When I returned to Chandler I went to Pei Wei to get their famous spicy chicken salad. James declined to be my dinner companion.
He is working at the yard where he stores his construction equipment. He wants to be moved out by December.

Back at Cathi's I waited for a call from Trina. I am meeting her at the Chandler mall so Ruby and I can get our ears pierced, again. It is my third time and Ruby's fourth. We went to Addy's favorite store, Claire's. There was only one girl working there and she looked like she was about 12 years old but she assured me she was old enough to do our piercings. Ruby was going to go first, but she was too nervous so I took her place. She held my hands.
Ruby is such a sweetie!
I am one hip Grannie!
Ruby's turn while I held her hands.
We survived!
Ruby got the ruby earrings and I got the diamonds.
While we were getting our ears pierced, Lola was picking
out the monkey that she wants for Christmas.
(She actually cried when she had to leave him behind.)
We said our goodbye's and as I was leaving Lola kept yelling, "bye Gramma". I kept turning around and waving to her until she couldn't see me anymore. What a fun evening. Rowan was such a good sport. He was dying to go to the Lego store but Trina said next time because she had to hurry home for a tennis lesson.
I love spending time with my grandchildren!
Back at Cathi's she told me all about their trip to Salt Lake City and all the fun things they saw and learned. She especially loved doing a live session in the Salt Lake temple.
I read to James before we went to bed.
