Well, after a week of 1200 calorie days and lots of sore muscles from hiking and weight-lifting I think I might have won the first week. You don't get anything but nyah-nyah-nyah rights but that is worth something. Truthfully, I think her scale is like mine and it does vary by a pound or two every time I get on. 6 lbs
For the last week we should probably all weigh ourselves 3 times and take the average to make it fair. But I will take my 6 pound weight loss this week.
The weather here has been so great that it has been easy to be active. Yesterday it hit 81* in Salt Lake. Matt brought up friends and enjoyed a day of boating. Who would have thought you could be going out without wet suits on October 15. Speaking of Matt, he decided to join the dating pool again. If you have some phone numbers of girls for him now is the time to let him know.
Bryan's Dad had a knee replaced on Wednesday and they sent him home on Friday. I was really surprised that they felt comfortable sending an 86 year old home to take care of himself but I went by to see him today and he does seem to be doing great although moving slowly. He had to put Marian in a care facility. I wish I could just take her in but that is the bad thing about our house. She can't negotiate the stairs. She seems to be accepting it okay even if she doesn't quite understand why she can't be home. It does seem to be a really nice place. It smells good and the workers are always getting them out of their rooms and holding activities. While I was visiting her today they made us a smoothie and were just very friendly and caring.
Today I got to have a new experience. My sister Jen volunteers at the Salt Lake Temple. They were having a special devotional at the very top (5th) floor of the temple where they have a big assembly hall. I think I counted around 700 people on the main floor. We were up on the balcony. It was fun to see and Pres. Eyring spoke and he was good. It is really pretty in all its cream colors. After, we went over to the South Visitor's Center where they have a really good cut out model of the temple. I couldn't believe the likeness and detail and it helped me get a lot of the orientation of the temple straightened out in my head. I'm always confused when I am in there on what floor I'm on. I recommend it. One thing I didn't know was that those big round windows swing open. A guy climbs up on the inner ledge and pushes one side out and they just pivot nicely on the center axis. They had them all at a 90 degree angle. It actually cooled it off quite nicely and I got to look out at Ensign Peak.
I didn't think I would get exercise today but between chasing Bowser down when he ran away and climbing all those circular steps up the corner of the temple I did okay.
