Marcia - 801-360-8788

Debbie got up early and helped Jared and Jami cook eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, and Texas French toast.   I borrowed Debbie's key to the Subaru.  She did not want me to wake George used the car yesterday and forgot to give me the key back.  I drove to Harmond's Grocery Store and picked up ketchup, alumni foil, olive oil, and some carbonated soda water.  I had fruit, and oatmeal for breakfast with an apple and some peanut butter.  I sent Marcia a text and called her about Debbie and me serving in the Saratoga Springs Tempen on June 16th.  Later I skipped lunch and went for an almost a 2-hour walk up 400 East St. and Red Mountain Blvd. to the red mountains.  I took some pictures.  When I got home I drank some water and studied scriptures before taking a shower.  I talked to Matthew before we dropped the call.  I got a text and voice message from Elain telling me about a salad dressing she found that is on Debbie and my program, Kewpie Deep Roasted Sesame.  I took Debbie back to Harmons to pick up some more groceries for the next two meals and fill the Subaru with gas for our drive back to Lehi and Highland tomorrow. We ate dinner and afterward, Ryan showed the video of clips of High School Musical II and each family pantomime a part of the movie.  Afterward I gave each couple a copy of my and Debbie's 2022 Quotes and Thoughts.  The grandchildren played and spent time together watching a movie.  Debbie and the adults had a business meeting regarding the Idaho Swan Valley property, 160 acres, without water or electricity that is being dry-farmed now by a local farmer. Debbie, Reed, and Karlene own 61% together and all their children own 59%; each family owns 33 1/3 each.  Nothing was decided except have Jared meet with Reed and his children. and Karlene and her children to see what their plans are.  Now Reed's family wants to build on it.  Karlene's family does not want to build but do now want to sell now.  After the meeting Debbie and I had prayer together before going to bed.

Note - The theme from yesterday continued today.  My sister, Elain, and her husband, Ernie, has collected items from among the props movie studios have used on sets for different movies they made when they were getting rid of them.  They have used many of these unique items in their cabin in Timber Lake in Heber City, UT.  They had one medium-sized piece of stained marble she want to use as a countertop in one of their bathrooms.  They had a referral for someone to cut the marble to fit the counter.  He took it to make the cuts but did not return it.  After several months he had not returned it, and she started calling.  She is very presentient and after a year she was getting angery.  Then one day he answered and told her he had brought it back a month ago and put it in her garage because no one was home.   She went out in her garage and found it under a pile of old clothes and the end of the piece had been broken.  She knew then what he had done and why he had not returned it to her.  It had got broken at his shop and now he was trying to shift the blame from him back to her and she was not going to let him get away with it.  He told her he could glue it back and it would be good as new.  He picked it up and glued it but when he brought it back it was not a smooth even surface.  The glue had run and was covering the area around the joint.  He came and picked it up and had it sanded to remove the extra glue but had ruined the mirror finish on the piece of marble.  My sister, Elain, was mortified, and being upset would not adequately describe her.   This situation was keeping her awake at night and had turned her life upside down.  She wanted to make him pay for his mistakes.   Her husband, Ernie, told he to let it go, "It is no big deal".  She got mad at him and said, "What are you talking about, it is not a big deal?"  Ernie said, "Just pretend it was one of the grandchildren, then what would you do?   Elain said something turned around in her mind, and she knew he was right.  If one of her grandchildren missed up and ruined the price of mirror finish stained marble, it would not be any big deal, and she forgot all about what had happened.
