I can't bend my knee but I'm going to the temple anyway. I can't cancel on Sue again. I had called Barbara yesterday and asked if she could go with Sue and I today. When I scheduled with Barbara I had forgotten that I had told Sue I would go with her on Wednesday, 11:00 session. Barbara was okay going with Sue and I today until this morning when she called and cancelled. She wasn't feeling well. So, it was just Sue and I.
I picked up Sue at Dollar General around 9:45 and we headed for Snowflake. We were a little early so before going to the temple we went down Main Street and turned on 3rd street and headed to the end of the street to the house where Sue is moving to in early December. It is the Geiger homestead and is an old home nestled among some very large trees. Sue is very excited and I am happy for her. I hope she will be in Ruth Gale's ward.
When we got to the temple I got out in front of the temple while Sue drove to get a parking space. I hobbled in, rode the elevator upstairs, went to the dressing room to my favorite locker, locker #8 and proceeded to change into my temple clothes. I used the restroom before going in to the new name booth. After getting my new name I walked to the endowment room where the sister checked to make sure I had a red check mark on my card. The room was about half full and I noticed Sue in the back row. How did she beat me? This let me know how slow I really am.
The room filled completely up before the session started.
Once I get my knee bent to sit down it doesn't hurt anymore so I was quite comfortable sitting there.
It was a good session in spite of my pain, especially when I looked at Sue and she commented: "It is so peaceful here. It's like all your worries disappear." I am so glad we came.
Sue picked me up at the front of the temple and she drove home. On the way I ran a red light and on the way home, she ran one. I told her she made me feel much better and she just laughed. She is a good friend. We didn't stop at Sonic because Sue got a call from her mail carrier that she had a package for her. If she ends up taking the package to Concho that's a forty mile round trip for Sue to pick her up. She told her she would wait at her box for her, so we hurried home. Maybe that's why Sue ran her red light.
Pat Tedder called me as I was waiting for Sue to pick me up outside the temple. She said she wanted to keep the vase I sent over with Janna. I asked her if she wanted to rooster too? She said yes that would be nice and she would give me back the two birds to go with my set. She was so grateful that I had done this for her.
When I got home I went straight to my recliner "bed." I am determined I am going to kick the bum knee with plenty of rest. I took a nap and watched Christmas movies. James fixed ham, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner and served me here in the bedroom. Thanks honey, you are the best!
