I cannot say that the last week was the most fun, but it was good to see and visit with the Boyd family. We have decided that we are having our reunion in the normal place on the weekend of the 25th of July. I hope that you all will put it on your calendars and that you can come. I can honestly say that I enjoyed getting to know Michelle and Meghan. They are so very clever and funny. I am so very thankful to Chelice for going with me and being such a support for all that week plus. She was a real trooper to put up with Lynn and the drama which was created by doctors and family members who we will not mention. I just wish we had taken a picture of my dad before he died to post here. I'm trying to get my hands on one.

Just to say, at these times in my life I am so glad I have the gospel and know of the Saviors love for me and for all of his children. I know there were many in the hospital room to greet Dad on the other side. I am not sure who they were, but I do know they were there. I hope he is enjoying his new world and his new life and is preparing a place for Mom.

In the Past

A long long time ago the Mom did do fun things, sometimes in and on the water. Note the outdated BC and regulator. Oh but I did love that mask. Stay tuned, more old photos to be posted.

I just got an email from my Dad tonight, at the end of the email he included a few lines that I thought you guys might enjoy about one of your truest admirers.

"I'll just tack on this other thing. Liz and Isaac and their kids gave Jennifer a Hannah Montana microphone for Christmas, with a button you can push for sounds of applause. A few nights ago Kathryn looked in on her after sending her down to say her prayers. Jennifer was praying using the microphone. And when she finished, she said amen and pushed the applause button."

we're engaged!! that is neat

I do love a Poodle

Before we sat down to dinner on Thanksgiving afternoon, Archie's dad, Kim, was flipping through the channels and came across the National Dog Show--Best in Show. (The for reals one as opposed to a dearly beloved movie.) Not only was there the most beautifully decked out giant poodle, but a vast variety of other equally entertaining dogs. I was truly thankful.

These pooches were unfortunately not part of Best in Show; however, since Archie found these awesome pictures online, I have a feeling there are a few other family members who might be as delighted as I am. It makes me think of when I pinned down Sally's little Pog in the bathtub and dyed him pink with red food coloring. Best thing that ever happened to the little yapper--sorry Sally.
