The Temple in Lubbock

Yesterday was my first visit to the Lubbock, Texas Temple. It was our first time to do a session there and was a great experience. We went with a couple from our ward and they had family names that we could take through for them. It is a small Temple, but elegant and beautiful nonetheless. I love taking in all the detail that makes each temple the jewel that it is. We left early enough that I could check out the JoAnn's Fabric store that was just down the street from the temple. How fortunate for me. Not so much for Grumpy. Me and my friend Margaret had lots of fun for about 20 minutes. It's amazing how much you can stack up in such a short amount of time. She wants to learn how to do these easy and fun pillowcases, so we shall do a few. Or maybe more than a few. After the damages at JoAnn's, we went in search of dinner and ended up at a Pei Wei's. Always good. On the way to the restaurant, I noticed an ice-cream place and made a mental note so that we could get some dessert on the way home. And we did. It was a wonderfully delicious Turtle sundae. Extra hot fudge of course.

All in all a very good trip. I like Lubbock so far.

Yummm! It's got to be an ok place if it has a temple, a Joanns, a Pei Wei and a yummy ice cream shop to boot! Sounds fun... :)

Sounds like an extremely fun & tasty day!! :) It's nice that you can help Margaret learn to make those fun pillowcases. We already have requests for more...maybe in some fun Christmas fabrics??? :) (But not until my dress is done...LOL!!!!!) ;)
Love you!!
