We are on the early morning schedule so we go in to the temple from 9 - 4. Paul goes to the recommend desk and I start the laundry and set up the baptistery. It was a good day. Took a little walk to the Western Beef for milk later that evening.
Today was pretty slow, in fact they cancelled the 2 pm session. No patrons. It may be a slow week. Sister Lynn Orhn took us to dinner across the street to Juliard restaurant. You walk in and order and they bring you your food. It was very pleasant. Sister Orhn knows the Cederlofs, our presidency in Palmyra. we had a lovely visit and learned some things about the temple and area.
About 7:30 Paul went over to the temple to start cleaning. I came over at 8. We got the 1st and 4th floors done and then some more cleaners showed up. Paul is now watching the BYU Fiesta Bowl.

Christmas Eve we went to the Holloways for dinner and fun. We had about 14 people there. We had soup in bread bowls and salads. So very good. The Hanson's brought a Danish tradition, an almond in a jello salad. Whoever finds the almond gets a prize. I was the lucky winner.
