Memorable visits during temple closure

Taking advantage of the temple's being closed for maintenance for a couple of weeks, we traveled to the States to see those of our kids and grandkids who live on the East coast.  We had a great time with all and even captured some of the highlights on film for your viewing enjoyment.

While at the Higgins', Virginia broke off a tooth that had previously been broken and glued in Honduras, but which was predicted to last as little as only 2-3 weeks.  It had lasted some six months.  Providentially, Susan was able to make arrangements with a great LDS dentist to see Virginia the same day, and he was able to make a better repair by putting in a post, and with some care the tooth could last now for years.

Thanks to all for their hospitality and for all each did to make our visit so enjoyable.  We look forward to seeing the other half of the family at our July reunion, if not sooner.
