This new LDS Temple was dedicated last week in Draper Utah. Beverly might have sent me this photo of elk in front of the new Draper Temple.
Yesterday afternoon, as I was mopping the floor, Joe asked if I wanted to go up to The Place and have prime rib. I said yes as soon as I finished mopping. It was like he could hardly wait. It was only 4 p.m.! So I did get the mopping done, and we got ourselves ready and drove up to the Upper Green for dinner. It was very good and not nearly as expensive as going to the (near to us) Lakeside Lodge - by less than half as much. Even though it had been storming the drive was fine. It was like going back in to winter though as there is still quite a bit of snow up there and it was showering snow. Kind of pretty. We were home before dark.
As usual was late getting myself going, but got a skirt on and went to church. Beverly's email I read after I got home said this was a fasting Sunday, but I didn't know it. So I ate a small breakfast before I went. The lessons were interesting and I got a whole bunch of postcard sized scriptures to read and study. Before I can do that I need to get my books I left at the ranch. I loved seeing the little children. They are so beautiful and shining. One of my most favorite things about the church is how important the family is. It's also fun to say hi to people that I know there.
We got a skiff of snow during the night but it really started to come down about 10 a.m. So it stormed with maybe 3 inches of heavy wet snow while we were in church. Covered the car and the roads with wet dirty slush, but it was o.k. getting home. The prediction is 100% for snow today, wind about 15 mph. I had let the dogs go along with me - they slept in the car. I've been letting them out at the corner to run home - it's about a short block and gives them a little exercise. Today the labrador retreivers from up the street all three came out to meet Sparky and Raven. They are acquainted so I'm being optimistic that they are going to get along o.k. Now they are napping and I'm thinking that I also want to have a nap.
Later: I did take a nap. Don't know how I sleep that way any more, except know it's part of the illness progressing. Tonight I made us a small steak with baked potato which was quite simple and made a fresh blackberry pie. Joe's anxiously waiting for it to come out of the oven. There's ice cream too.
