Temple Trip

 They are getting ready to close our temple

for a couple of months while they do

some structural stuff (hurricanes etc...)

AND

Linda (Kyle's old boss, my friend, and the

Stake RS Pres) and I went to the temple

together this morning.

We have gone lots of times over the years.

We will miss getting to do that.

She is moving to the ranch full time in February.

And, of course, we are moving to Kansas.

Anyhow.

It was a lovely morning.

I drove over to her house and she drove to Orlando.

(She is an uncomfortable passenger so prefers

if she gets to drive her own vehicle...)

We made it to the 9:00 session with plenty of time

to spare and there were LOTS of people there.

Many of them from our stake.

After our session we hopped in the car and

headed straight back home again, got to her place

just after 12:00. (Would have been earlier, but

the highway was getting new paving so traffic was

a little slower than we anticipated...)

I borrowed Rod's new truck since mine doesn't

have a working defroster and it was pretty foggy

and moist this morning.

When I left her house I stopped by the airport to

swap out vehicles because by the time he gets off

work, it will again be foggy and moist and that's

just not safe.

And my guy needs to be SAFE!

Unfortunately, he forgot his key for the truck

and so he couldn't drive it.

I didn't know that until I got home and saw

the key hanging on the key rack or I would

have just left mine....

(And I knew he was busy inside an airplane

so I just dropped it off and sent a quick text.)

So, Kyle (who is home sick today but could

use some Vitamin SEA) and I went to the

beach (chilly, but beautiful) for an hour

while we shared one of those fabulous burritos

from Big Island Burrito.

And then when we were done and the sun wasn't

quite as strong and warm, we packed up and

headed back to the airport to drop off Rod's keys

so he wasn't stranded.

And then home to sit on the patio and enjoy

a little more sunshine.

(And eat a couple of fresh peas from the garden...)

And then I had to come inside and teach.

All-in-all a lovely day!
