Up at 5:30. James left within the hour for Hipps' to spread gravel with his Cat. I told him he needed to be back in time for us to leave here to pick up the Tignor's at 11 for the temple. He made it home a little after 9. He took his shower and got ready to go and then went in to work on the Applegate plans. I finished what I was doing and went in to take my shower and get ready for the temple. 

T-Bo and Barbara were outside waiting for us when we went to pick them up. Our trip to Snowflake was without incident. We arrived around noon for the 12:30 session. After scanning my recommend I asked one of the sisters how President Miller was doing. She said he was doing much better and that he would be back at the temple in a few days.

 When I finished getting dressed and stepped out of locker #7, my friend Maxine Thompson was waiting for me in the aisle. She said: "I thought that was you." I'm not sure how, unless she peeked through the cracks. She had a stack of 25 male names and was wondering if James and T-Bo could do them. I told her sure and put them in my pocket. I spoke with James before the session started and he agreed that we could do them and he mentioned it to T-Bo who agreed. Barbara was all for it too. I also got a temple name from Maxine for Barbara to do. 

During the session I noticed the sister I was sitting next to on one side was someone I recognized from high school. I asked her: "Are you Muriel Tenney. She said yes. I told her who I was and said I remembered her from high school. She said to me: "Good memory." 

After the session I told her she had the best hair on "crazy hair day". She said she thought she should have had her picture in the yearbook and I agreed, but it didn't happen. She asked me if I was Rita Tenney's cousin and when I said yes she said she was too. Wow! I wonder how many cousins Rita had a Snowflake Union High School. Deanne Hunt, her sister and brother, were also Rita's cousins. 

We all changed in to our street clothes and went down to the baptistry to do the confirmations. One of the temple workers helped and it only took us about 15 minutes for the guys to do 25 names. 

The Tignor's didn't want to go to Eva's for lunch so we ended up at Arby's. We ran in to Maxine Thompson and Debra Martin there and Maxine thanked us again for doing the confirmations.

Barbara and I both got pulled pork sandwiches and ate the pork without the bun. Barbara did not like it and said it didn't taste like pork. I said it was fine. James got a gyro and it was meh. T-Bo said his Philly cheesesteak sandwich was very good although a little heavy on the bread. 

T-Bo and Barbara are going to the Farmington, New Mexico temple open house on July 17th. James wants to go too but we won't be going with them. T-Bo lived there and has lots of friends he wants to visit. James' cousin Jeanie lives there and we would like to see her. The open house starts on the 17th and runs until August 2nd.

When we got home James left to go back to the Hipps' and work for awhile. I run off my lesson for next month, walk, and work on my blog.

I talked to Cathi today and told her we were coming down tomorrow and would like to visit Lois when the hospice nurse was there. Cathi said that would be great. She and Terry will be there too.

She and Terry have taken care of the problem regarding Mom's house. Mom has a living trust. They did a quit claim deed warranty under the umbrella of the trust. Cathi is Dawn's power of attorney and Terry is mom's. Dawn signed papers regarding the house staying in the family. She said it was the right thing to do. Heather will not get the house.

And whatsoever they shall speak when moved upon by the Holy Ghost shall be scripture, shall be the will of the Lord, shall be the word of the Lord, shall be the voice of the Lord, and the power of God unto salvation.
