I Had a "Grand" Day

BIG  Thanks to the Ransoms for taking me with them to the Boise LDS Temple Open House.  We saw all kinds of weather, snow, wind and rain.  I was  grateful the rain didn't come while we took these pictures.

They had this picture in the Cultural Hall with pins on the map where there are LDS Temples all over the world. When Paul and I got married there were only about 16 Temples- now there are 139 Operating Temples, 15 Under Construction, 14 Announced for a total of 168.  The Boise Temple was  #27. This was the 2nd time for it to be re-modeled. After the re-model, they re-dedicate it.  This Temple has some Special Memories for me.  My "Brown" Cousins invited my Sister and I to do some Family Endowment and Sealings here a few years ago for our Butterworth Family.

We asked about the Meridian Temple that is to be built nearby.  It hasn't had the groundbreaking yet.
 It was an early day but we got home in time to have dinner at 'Grandma's Kitchen'.  Mac & Cheese with my favorite Smoothies! They got to use my special bowls with the handles, too. NaDell requested a Grilled Cheese sandwich. She tells MORE of the Story HERE.
