Happy Birthday Anna!
There was a charge on my bank account that I didn't recognize today. No number was associated with the charge but the name of the company was Twitch and it is located in San Francisco and says entertainment media. I called the bank and they are canceling my debit card and issuing me a new one. I rarely use my debit card but the last time I was at Walmart I used it and remember a couple standing behind me waiting in line for quite sometime. I wonder if they scanned my card.
James informed me this morning that he wanted to go with me to the temple this afternoon. I have an appointment at the 3:30 session with my friend Ruth Gale. James tried to call Virgil Cooper to see if he wanted to go, but there was no answer.
Tom was in the house when we left at 2 pm. We stopped at the post office in Taylor to mail James's sales taxes that he has been working on for several days.
When we got to the temple something was wrong with the recommend scanners and the sister at the desk ask if we could sit in the waiting room for a few minutes until they figured it out.
We were the only ones who moved to the waiting room. When I saw Ruth come in with her friend Jewel Turley, I went over and stood by her and so did James. This time the scanner worked if you scanned your card twice.
After our session in the dressing room I saw Alicia Hunsaker and Tina Allen who were going to the next session. Tina told me later they didn't make it in the session and did initiatories instead.
I got to visit with Jewel a little. She knew about The Maxwell House, grandma and grandpa and my mom and dad. I think she is 93. Anyway, it was fun to visit with her.
After our session Ruth took Jewel home while we saved us a table at Eva's. When Ruth got her and we placed our orders, we told her about James's brain bleed and our trip to the hospital in Chandler. She said I should have called her to take me down instead of having my kids come up, she would have taken me.
We talked about riding horses, she grew up on a farm in Utah and rode horses. She also told us about her family reunion at Thanksgiving, shooting off Estes Rockets and riding the roller coaster at Sunrise. Her daughter Valeen who lives in San Antonio has just been diagnosed with breast cancer so Ruth says she may be gone a lot in February. For this reason we did not schedule our next temple visit. It was a fun visit. Ruth is such a good friend.
We went home to Tom who was waiting for us in the house. I finished my December blog and watched the latest episode of "The Way Home." James walks and listens to his book.
Tom is bored looking for new fun
