and we always go to the Blue Lemon in Highland.

JUST A LITTLE LUNCH IN ST. GEORGE

Another Dixie roommate lunch!

July 11, 2019.

I was just going to drive down and back.

But, Mom decided she wanted to go, and

we stayed for 3 days!

I also was able to visit Nancy in her new home,

and attend the St. George Temple.

That was the last time I attended a temple!

The St. George Temple, like the Salt Lake Temple,

is in the middle of earthquake upgrades.

Also, in the middle of September, I received

my "BYU Football Injury!"

I guess I could have gone, wearing my

surgical shoes.

But, my feet bled for months!

I did not think they would like me to bleed

all over their white carpet!

AWKWARD!

And then came the Corona Crap,
shutting down all temples!

This is a better picture than the first one.

Mom

I lived with Karen, Sara, and Pam.

The best part of this lunch was seeing

Becky Wells!

I hadn't seen her in over 40 years!

She lived in the same tower we did, and was

in the same ward.

Her husband, Doug Gentry, was the

nicest guy, and our Family Home Evening "dad"

our second year!

Our Family Home Evening group was

our four roommates

(me, Karen, Pam . . . later Stacey, Tammy, and Kara),

Doug, and "The Basketball House!"

The majority of the basketball team lived

in a (dumpy) house on "Diagonal Street", across town.

It was great!!!

RIP, BOB
