Having difficulty with cars is not fun for the pocket book or for your inconvience, but especially when it involves vandalism and robbery! Yesterday we were going to watch our daughter's children so she and her hubby could go out to dinner and celebrate 10 wonderful years of marriage! Well, he never showed up at our house...finally she gets a phone call. She is to go the car repair shop! Someone had entered hubby's work parking lot and totally cut off and stole his catelitic converter (sp?) (this is the 2nd one now!!!) again off his vehicle! So to figure out how to borrow another car for hubby to get to work today (Friday) so his vehicle can be repaired. So daughter and I figured out this elaborate stragedy. See if you can follow this: Last night when daughter and hubby came back from dinner they picked up our garage opener and left me a key for their mini-van as I was at Roundtable with my car. This morning at 5:15 am daughter's hubby uses our garage opener to get my vehicle & key so he can get to work leaving mini-van here for me. At 7:20 am I then drive the mini-van back to daughter's house and together we take all 4 kids with us ... we drop of daughter and my granddaughter off at school. The other 3 kids go with me out to Rainbow Valley to pick up a most important package that was delivered yesterday. Back to daughter's house to play with 3 little ones until lunch time. We all load back up in mini-van and go get daughter. Daughter then drives me home where I will be the rest of the day. So...that is how we got daughter's husband to work and me to daughter's house to babysit so daughter could go to her child's class at school. If we would have lived a long time ago, no one would have gotten all of these things done!!! Modern times bring on the modern thinking of strategy. Now let's hope daugther's hubby's vehicle can be repaired by Monday. If not then...more strategy will be in play!

A Day with Hubby
Saturday was a great day! We spent the entire day together doing stuff...not separately...but together! We started off by going to the temple and after a session, we sealed my grandma to her parents. Totally great spirit with them all! It was great seeing old friends on our session...Missy & Corby Gardiner!!! We are definitely going to re-connect with them in a few weeks! Curtis was his counselor in the Bishopric in Tucson. We also saw Stephanie Walker's mom! She asked us to keep taking care of her kids! We do...we love them!!!
Went to Seagull book to pick up the latest copy of Gerald Lund's book "The Undaunted"!!!! When he was called as a 70, I thought to myself..."Oh no...does that mean he won't be writing great historical novels any more?" Once he was released...he was back to writing. I love reading his books. I learn so much more about the history when you add personal feelings to it!
We then tracked down an Office Max in Mesa for hubby to get special pens. He is so particular what kind he carries in his pockets and use. But...we FOUND the ones he wanted.
Off to Trader Joe's. Oh how I miss having Trader Joe's so close to where we lived in Tucson. Now they are a half hour drive away...so we tracked down the one in Mesa while in that neck of the woods. We had this awesome Havest Grain rice blend at Serina's in-laws in May. Oh....sooo good. So I bought 4 packages for the pantry. Each bag was only $2.69! You cook it in chicken broth and it is yummy!
Since hubby's office is closing here shortly...we went to Things Remembered to find special gifts and have them engraved for his "special employees". I told him he should buy himself a PARTING gift...but he wouldn't.
We then went and had a very nice romantic lunch at the Legacy Suites (our local time share). They have a great restaurant (and we have free coupons!!!). So it gives us a relaxing time together.
Then home...to write out bill payments, plan the week, and we watched an old movie with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funacello "How to Stuff a Wild Bikinii". Old movies were so much safer to watch than today!!!
I certainly enjoy days where we can be together. You would think with no kids at home that would be the norm....NOT. So I LOVE it when it happens!
