Temple #39
We left for Globe and then on to the valley around 7:15. We arrived in Globe at 9:15. We entered the outside elevator of a building on Oak & Broad and rode it to the second floor, just as Jonell directed. After taking a right turn and walking down a hallway and making a right turn, I saw a door slightly ajar with the words: Tom Thompson, Attorney at Law. The room was at the end of a small hallway and as we walked closer I saw an older man sitting at a large desk. He stood up when he saw us. After handshakes and introductions we all sat down. (I loved the old fashioned, sturdy chairs we sat in). Mr. Thompson handed us a check for $98,000. $2,000 is his fee, which is very fair. He said there would be no taxes to be paid. I thought to myself, there will be tithing.
Mr. Thompson seems like a very nice man. He returned all of our documents to us including James's medical records, school report cards, his baptismal certificate and his birth certificate. I am sorry that JoNell is not feeling well and that I didn't get to meet her. She is the one I spoke with so many times on the phone.
We were not sure this day would ever actually happen and we are so grateful. I thought we would be getting $48,000 at the most. Heavenly Father really is looking after us!
On to the valley. James dropped me off a little early at AARA while he found a Chase Bank where he deposited our check. The teller said it would not be available until April 17th. That is fine.
After my infusion today I saw Edith who is a physician assistant who works with Dr. Kumar. I really like her. I told her I needed to schedule my next cortisone injections. She said I could do it by just texting the office number. Good to know!
Neither Kim nor Sheri are available for lunch. Sheri is making cupcakes and Kim has a new cat she is afraid to leave with Louie their other cat.
We did our Costco shopping, buying Perk, Pom juice, and Fairlife shakes, and toilet paper. After shopping I got my hotdog and drink at the food court which cost me $1.62. James didn't eat. We visited with a 93 year old gentlemen who shared our table. He said he owned a famous hot sauce company from Louisiana and asked us if we could guess the name of it. We couldn't. He said it was "Tabasco." He was right, it is very famous.
We drove to Cathi & Terry's and visited with them, Mom, Dawn, and Rebecca. Today is Rebecca's birthday and she came to visit mom.
Cathi had said that Mom is getting weaker and it was good that we came. She said she has been sleeping 11-12 hours a week. When I talked to Mom she said her blood pressure was low and she could feel herself getting weaker. We still had a nice visit. Cathi told us that Nelda, Jeanie and Hayden Lambson's older sister had passed away this past weekend. The funeral will be on Saturday in Ramah.
We drove to Trina's and gave her the Perk she ordered, two containers. She gave me $50. I told her she shouldn't have to pay for them because they left so much food at our house. We got to see Rowan and Lola too.
We went home the Payson way and listened to 'Suitors and Secrets' which we are both reading.
Kacey said: "Charlie's working on reading the BoM before her baptism. We read Jacob 5 today. She got tickled imagining what
'evil fruit' might look like and do. Haha!
