Today was Temple and Taco Tuesday for James and I.

We went to the Gilbert temple and did initiatories which took a little over an hour.  While we were there we saw several people we knew.  Pam Whetten who worked with me in a Relief Society presidency about 35 years ago, Nancy Williams Brimhall who went to high school with us, and Gerry Price who is currently in our ward.  It is always nice to see great people in the temple.

After the temple we drove to Tia Rosa's on Higley and Guadalupe in Gilbert for our tacos.



James at Tia Rosa's

James had a fish taco and a salmon taco.

He thought they needed more seasoning.

I had a shredded beef taco with a side of rice and beans.  My only complaint was the taco shell didn't seem authentic.  It looked like a "prefab" shell.  I said maybe we would enjoy it better the next time we came and James said there would be no next time.

 

I went home and took a short nap before picking up Ben at school at 2:15.  I guess there is Merit testing this week and the kids are on a different schedule.

 

We finished our book: "Becoming Lady Lockwood" by Jennifer Moore.  It was one of our favorites.  Now we need to go get a new book.

 

I also went to Sonic for a drink during happy hour and to the bank where I deposited a check from the Jerod Bowen job.  I spent the evening working on re-doing the Lambson Construction check register for 2015.  James messed it up a bit while working on taxes.

 

Heather and Patrick have a new member of their family:

Welcome to the family,

Raelynn Rose!

"The Son of Man came to save that which was lost."

-Matthew 18:11

 

I polished the wood floors in the kitchen and family room and ran out of polish when I got to the entryway.  I made a trip to the store to get some more polish but when I got home there were too many people home to finish polishing so I just gave it up. 

I had a short nap and then on to pick up Ben, Evan, and Joshua.

 

When I came back into the neighborhood I noticed that James had dropped a bucket of paint and a florescent lightbulb in the road.  The lightbulb had shattered so I grabbed a broom, dustpan and garbage sack to go clean it up.  Sal Jiminez's son, Christian, who is a junior in high school saw me outside working and he came out to help,  which I thought was very thoughtful.  I had a nice visit with him and then I told him I would finish up.  It took me awhile to get all the glass I could see.  I also swept up a lot of dirt and rocks along with the glass.  When James returned from the dump he said he didn't even realize he had lost any of his load.  

 

Stacy is doing a good clean of her room this afternoon.  I cleaned the Christmas closet and the downstairs office.  

 

Bishop Lewis took Paul, Dallin, and Michael to see the movie  "McFarland USA" and then they all went out to dinner at Olive Garden. 

 

James and I had Pei Wei for dinner.  I love their lettuce wraps ad spicy chicken salad.

 

My hands hurt so bad tonight.  I was pretty miserable.  Thank goodness I am getting a Remicade infusion tomorrow.  

I read to James from "The Line that Divides."

I usually don't like books about war

but this one is good.

 

James had to go check the church around 9:30.  Sorry, but I was just too miserable to go with him.  He was pretty sad when he left because he wrecked his truck today at the dump.
