Painting, cleaning, remodeling, etc. has interfered with recordings in the old Journal, but I can't let this important anniversary day pass without an entry. it was 19 years ago today that I took my wife and three children to the temple. Grace and I received our endowments and she was sealed to me for time and eternity and her children were seal To us by the same authority, to endure throughout all the ages of time.

Before I leave on my proposed eastern tour, I want to get a dozen or more plastic bottles or vases that can be closed with a screw lid. When I get into a beach city like Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester (which is a few miles inland from shore of Lake Ontario), Boston, Portland, Providence, New Haven, Bridgeport, New London (if I stop in New London), New York, Savannah, New Orleans, Pensacola. Such a collection should be well worth the effort to get them together.
