Recent current events Deaths of: James Garner, Robin Williams,James Shigeta, Lauren Bacall, Phyllis Diller Last weekend Dad and I watched Skyfall; he'd seen it before, but I hadn't.  I really liked it a lot, and read that some people think it's the best 007 of all. Monday evening I took Gran to see Marian Hamilton; she's in the ICU at EIRMC with heart problems. She is one of Mama's dearest friends. Tuesday, Dad put up a new TV antenna this evening. We've gotten rid of Direct TV, or was it DISH...either way, it's going to save us a lot of money. Mama's shoulders have been really bothering her, and she said she sure wished Heidi was around to give her a good massage. I said I was willing to try, and she let me!  She's never been inclined to have things like that...but you never know!  And evidently it really helped! Wednesday morning, early, a dear friend and former co-worker of Jocie's, David Ritchie, was killed in a traffic a...

Hi everybody!    The weeks seem to fly by even faster now that I work M-F.  A busy week at work, good for the most part.     I took Gran to her injection appointment on the 13th...but so far I don't think it's helping.  I guess we'll just give it more time.     Saturday I started taking out the big green bush in front of the house, that has covered so much of our little side walk.  I hadn't gotten very far, when I realized that I needed help. Dad was teaching an all day NRA class, so I called the neighbor boy who sometimes helps with lawn mowing.  He was happy to have the work, and came right over. The work went much faster after he arrived. I didn't get a "before" picture...but I'm sure you all remember. I'm including a link to the "after" picture.    Friday night, Dad and I went to a wedding reception, south of Rexburg, for one of his deputies, Tyler Summers. They were married in the Idaho Falls Temple....

Hi all! It’s been two or three weeks since I wrote my letter/journal to you.   But most of you were here for part of that time, so I don’t know how much I’m going to say about the camp out, and all.   It was a wonderful time, and so nice to have you all around. I appreciate your patience with our small spaces here at our house.   But if I have to be stuck somewhere with a lot of people…you’d be the ones I’d want to be stuck with! Yesterday, I did a lot of yard work, pulling weeds, transplanting roses, etc… and now the backs of my legs are super sore! It’s hard to bend over. But I’ve gotten a good start on some things I’ve been meaning to do; so I hope I can keep working on it in the evenings this coming week. Wish me luck! Dad has been really busy at the county fair this week.   He had an air rifle trailer set up for his 4H group, and it was open to anyone. They could shoot for free, but if they paid $2, they could compete for a prize, a box of 22 shel...
