Up at 5:06. I feed the kitties. Harry has disappeared. I call him Harry Houdini. He never stays for very long.
James needs heat rub and a heating pad on his back again. He has been bending over too much at the Crane's tying rebar. He worked at Matt Hipps' this morning and then the Crane's this afternoon. He was still at the Hipps' when I left for the temple around 1:45. I stopped at the post office at the same time as my friend Millie Scott. I gave her a big hug and a kiss. Yes, she is that kind of friend. I picked up James's Father's Day gifts, 3 Superman shirts and a pair of jeans.
It was a little early when I got to Snowflake to go to the temple. I needed to stop at Walmart. Should I try to do so before the temple? I felt a sense of adventure, so I went for it. These are the items I needed and got: Roast slow cooker seasoning, 3 types of candy for Jarred MacArthur, Father's day card for him and gift wrap, patriotic sticks. $43.56 Yikes!
It is now 3:03 and I need to be at the temple for the 3:30 session. When I arrive at the temple the parking lot is close to full so I have to park further away. There is a sealing and tons of people are waiting outside and I wind my way through them, excusing my way in. Locker 8 is open ... and Ruth saved me a place next to her. My 14th visit to the temple this year.
After the session Ruth says she is not hungry and suggests going for pie. I told her I couldn't because of my blood sugar. I told her I was just going to go home. She said: "Thank you, Karen." I think Jewell didn't want to go to dinner and she felt responsible for her. I invited Ruth to go to the Willis' funeral with us on Monday, but she declined.
Three or four miles outside of Show Low traffic comes to a complete halt. It is still coming through in the opposite direction. People were turning around and going back in the opposite direction. Finally, after about 20 minutes we finally move. Two red pickups had collided.
When I arrived back at home I had a pork chop for dinner and then began walking. Kim & Brian arrived at 7:07. I wrapped James's Father's Day gifts and Jarred MacArthur's, Rollos, Reese's FastBreak and Toblerone. After I was finished walking, James borrowed my phone and walked, listening to his book.
I show Kim my handouts and she said she would help me put them together.
