Friday, June 13, 2014

I took this picture of the moon from our condo balcony.  It is what is called a blood moon.  It is the first full moon on Friday the 13th in 99 years.  

I got a text from Stacy at 5:30 this morning which is an unheard of time for her.  We have a water leak somewhere near the main bath in the house which has caused water damage under the bathroom floor and now in the bedroom closet that is adjacent to it.  Adam and James are there working and she is wondering why they have to be there so early.  Why she is asking me, I don't know.  James thinks the leak is coming from overwatering the outside planters.  Stacy thinks it is coming from the laundry and so the debate goes.
Just a pretty picture to add some color to my blog.
I do wish I lived close to this though. 

I did my gospel study this morning and then got ready and left for my appointment at the arthritis center.  My appointment is at 11 o'clock for a Remicade infusion.  About half way there I realized that I had forgotten my phone.  Oh well, I'm not going back. 

My infusion took a good two hours so it was almost 2 o'clock when I returned, starving.  I was ready to go to Pei Wei for some lunch.  When I entered the condo I saw James cooking eggs and potatoes.  He had already eaten and was offering a plate to me.  I couldn't be too upset because I was the one without a phone and no means of communication.  Pei Wei will have to wait until dinner.  
After helping James learn how to use his phone to find a concrete cutting company I headed out to do some shopping for Ruby's birthday.  Her birthday party is here tomorrow at the condo.  She likes dressup clothes and something called Calico Critters.  Trina says she likes the bunnies.  I found her a couple of dress-up outfits at Walmart but they did not have or had the girl ever heard of Calico Critters.  I texted Trina and she said they had them at Barnes & Noble so I left Walmart and headed down to the B&N on Shea Blvd.  I love Calico Critters.  Oh why didn't I take a picture.  They are the cutest little animal families and they even have houses for them.  My favorite were the squirrels but I got the bunnies for Ruby.  They were actually called the Hopscotch Rabbit family.  While I was there I went to the cafe and got the best brownie I have ever eaten!  Back to the condo.  It was almost time for our dinner date at Pei Wei.  James was complaining about his shoes so I gave him the new shoes I bought for him for father's day.  

Pei Wei was yummy again for the second time.  I shared lettuce wraps with James and this time we both got the Pei Wei spicy chicken salad.  On the way home we stopped at Sam's Club to get a case of water and bought the Jack Ryan movie starring Chris Pine and Kiera Knightly.

Back at the condo the first thing I did was try to use my computer which James brought back from Joe Johnston.  It was still not recognizing my phone.  I did learn something from the Apple Suport people today.  I went to Control Panel, Device Manager, USB and found Apple iphone.  I updated Apple iphone mobile device and then tried again.  This time the computer recognized my phone and I was able to download pictures.  Problem solved!  Thanks Joe!
I was also able to get all my contacts and restore my old phone as well as the new.

We watched the Jack Ryan movie.  It was a little violent but I liked the characters.  James liked it too.  It was a fun date night.  

Friday the 13th turned out to be my lucky day.  My mom always said it was hers, of course her birthday was on September 13th.

Eric and Ian Wanlass at Havasupai.
This is where Alex and Ben are too, only
they didn't take any pictures.
I guess they had a great time.
