Lani Lively's 53rd Birthday

Alex's phone number in England is +1-949-439-7578

I had prayer, showered, shaved, sent Rae Lynn and Tucker a text happy birthday message, and emailed Lani one.  I went with Matt to take the girls to Double Peak School.  When I got back to the house I tried again to get a yes or no from Alex, if she is going with the 12 year old cousins on the cruise in May 2024.  She will not give me an answer.  I called and texted her Dad, Michael.  He is there in England with her and Jake.  I get a little impatient when individuals or groups are slow making a decision.  I followed Matt to the Tesla dealer and service center in Carlsbad to have his car checked before the warenty expires.  They told him the car was fine while I waited.  We left at the same time.  He went home and I drove up to Michael and Autumn's in San Clemente.  Autumn left the door open and Blake and Gracie got home a little after 1 p.m.  I stopped and got a toco and picked up another pair of reading glasses and another pair of sunglasses.  Micheal sent me a picture of him with Alex and Jake in London.  I sent them a picture of Blake, Gracie, and me at the home in San Clemente.  Autumn got back from the beach with a friend she had a business meeting with.  Autumn got her friend home and while I read and switched Gracie's Lexus for Michael's Ford truck.  Gracie gave me the code to get in and crank the truck.  I left the Lexus car key on the counter with a stickie note with Gracie's name.  I drove the truck over to Beth's and visited Beth, Maggie, Andrew, and his friends.  I did not hear back from Alex so I called Michael.  It was 1:00 a.m. in Enlgland.  I asked him for a yes or no on Alex going with us on the 12-year-old cruise.  He said it is an absolute no if Royal Caribbean can make flight plans for her to be back in San Francisco on the 10 of May.  I called Royal Caribbean Customer Service and spoke with a young lady named Darling.  She checked all resources she had, then contacted her backup and had no success in getting Alex off the Cruise Liner and on a flight to San Francisco to be there on the 10th of May, 2024.  Then she contacted her emergency department.  The cruise line will let her off the ship on May 9th in Hundorus but will not arrange transportation to the airport or make flight arrangements for her to be in San Fransisco on the 10th of May.  Beth took Andrew and his friends trick-a-treating.  When everyone got home we watched a movie and had family prayer before going to bed.  I slept on the fold-out bed and Andrew slept on a mattress on the floor downstairs.  It was late and Debbie had gone to bed.  I had my personal prayer before going to bed at about midnight.
