That's Uncle Jesus!

Cathy and I were watching the grandkids the other day, and Kendall was sitting on my lap "reading" one of our photo albums. We would look at the pictures on the page, and I would ask her who the people were in the picture. She was getting pretty good at picking people out; "That's Uncle Joe," "That's Mommy," "That's Aunt Becca," "That's Mia," "That's Grandma." This went on for a while, until we came to a picture of Rebecca in the Stake Center with a picture of Christ on the wall behind her. I asked who Becca was, and she said, "Thats Aunt Becca." Then I thought I would test her gospel knowledge, and asked her who it was that was in the picture on the wall in the photo. She only hesitated a moment, then exclaimed confidently, "That's Uncle Jesus!"

From the mouths of babes....

Saturday temple trip

I went to the Monticello Temple last Saturday. It was our ward's turn to clean the temple so I (and some other ward members) went early. We were scheduled to clean the building at 4 p.m., so I arrived at noon because I was scheduled for initiatories. I did those until the 2 p.m. endowment session. I went through that session for Cathy's brother Ronnie, so now his work is done, except for sealing to spouse. I got home at about 2030.

The best part was when we got to Moab Vern Howell, our high priest group leader, bought dinner for us. He paid for seven of us in all. Nice.

Cleaning the temple is a unique experience. You have to do it in whites. Also you can't stand on anything and only clean as high as you can reach. I guess it's a liability thing.

I had an MRI on my left knee today. Hopefully I will get some answers as to why it hurts all the time. I have been in more or less constant pain for about a month. I can live with it better if I know what is causing it.

Take care, everybody. Love ya!

Saturday's September 12 project

I saw photos today of the big Tea Party in Washington D.C. held on Saturday. There was one overehead shot that looked like a half mile of people wall to wall in the street. It made me think that there was a Verizon customer in there somewhere and all those other guys were his network, like in the commercials.

On Saturday Cathy and I were in Tooele enjoying some time with Joe and Ashley, and, of course, Inga. We had a nice little visit. We took them a crib for the baby, and of course I left the important parts here at home. Lucky for us Joe is coming down in a couple of weeks to participate in a triathlon, so he can take them back with him. Erik says it is an expensive crib, like $500 or so when it was new. Only the best for our grandchildren.

Mia is sick at the moment. We wish her a speedy recovery. Everybody enjoy life. We love you all.
