Thankful Day 10

I am thankful for friends and family. A big thank you to Lisa for finding my 'reindeer' pattern since I had already bought the whoppers. Thankful for a phone conversation this morning from a dear friend of 30 years ago, Layne Waise Serr who we will get to see and visit with this week. She and her family live in WA and are going to be here for the 'Skinner' sealing in the LA temple Thursday. Thankful for our friends at the temple both full time and patrons who come from NP. Enjoyed lunch with Sisters Depp and Simons and three temple workers. And very thankful today for our freedom we enjoy here in the USA and hope others will not be a means of taking that freedom away. Marv and I went out to dinner with the Friebels to a wonderful mexican food restaurant "El Coyote" in Beverly Hills which has been in existence for 75 years, owned and operated by family. We told them we were here because one of their employees had the nerve to support yes on prop 8 even though the restaurant was boycotted by the no on prop people. We were introduced to the owners daughter who was the one that we have heard so much about on the news. Turns out she is an active member of the church and has been overwhelmed by the support of so many. The restaurant was full by 8:00 and more people coming. There was a wonderful spirit there and the food was the best!
