When I open the door to feed Sammy a raccoon is staring me in the face. I could have gotten such a good picture if I had known he was going to be there.
I really wanted to get a couple of blogposts done this morning before leaving for the temple, but I kept getting the message, we could not copy your photos to your blog. Finally, after getting the message four times, I restarted my computer, and everything worked fine. When will I learn that's the answer most of the time.
We left for the temple at 8 and picked up Virgil Cooper on the way. It was 37 degrees when I got up but now it's in the 50's and the sun is shining. It is a nice day!
A Brother Clay Overson was at the recommend desk. He remembered James as a wrestler in high school. Brother Overson was a wrestler too from another school and he said Duane Hensley, Snowflake's heavy weight, always beat him. An interesting way to be greeted at the temple.
Our session was almost full with only two empty seats. There were 26 sisters and 12 brothers.
As we were leaving, we see Tamara Applegate from our ward. She says she is there with Debbie Schwarz who is being baptized for her mother and her aunt. Wow! Debbie was just baptized last Saturday.
We saw another friend of Debbie's outside, Linda McClellan. We didn't get to see Debbie. I would have loved to stay but since we were with Virgil I decided we probably shouldn't.
We had lunch at Eva's, and I had my chili relleno, the only way I like to eat eggs. I sent Sheri the following photo and asked if she could guess where I was:
now my temple purse.
She said, "Italy?" I said no. Remember this is my temple purse. I went to the temple with Dad and a friend. Where do we go after the temple? Eva's! She texted back that she was jealous.
Eva actually took our order and I told her how much we enjoy the food here.
read the encyclopedia's when they were boys.
When James went up to pay the bill I saw my friend Sue Hubble come in with a group of women. They were eating and then going to the temple. I went over to say hello and Sue was so happy to see me. She stood up and gave me a hug just as her chili relleno was delivered. James gave her a hug too. It was so great to see my dear friend!
Virgil really is interesting to talk to. He told the story of his great grandfather, John Cooper who joined the Church in England. He came with the handcart pioneers to Utah. Brigham Young asked him to practice polygamy. He ended up having three wives and 14 children. He kept a journal. That is why Virgil knew so much about him.
When I get home, I take a nap with Tom, watching a Christmas movie when I'm awake. James is working on a bid for Dr. Memon.
Now I'm blogging and listening to Inklings and reading my D&C commentary, thinking about making 55 heart cookies for Relief Society. I give my lesson on Sunday and the lesson is "Blessed Are the Peacemakers."
Tonight was Jared & Kacey's ward Halloween party. Jared won the first place trophy for his chili and Charlie is the cutest Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.
