Happy Halloween! From Nana/Domino

25 October 2015

Hi everybody!     Busy week!  Really enjoying the emails from you kids...nice to know what's happening in your lives.    My co-workers and I have  been having some successes with helping the doctors be more compliant with medication reconciliation. This has been a three year battle on my part.  It has taken getting my boss, and some others involved, helping them see the problems, and working together to come up with solutions...and it's happening!    We missed FHE on Monday, so we did it on Wednesday evening instead.  Venae happened to be there, and it was very nice. Dad did the lesson and made the refreshments too!  Graham cracker and frosting sandwiches.  Grandpa loved them!   Gran had the skin cancer removed from her nose on Wednesday morning. I took the day off and took her down. It didn't take too long; we were home by 1:30, even after running a couple of errands.    My cell phone, which is al...

Hi all,    Seems like forever ago that I wrote last. But really only two weeks. Good thing I don't try to write only once a month...too much to remember, or forget!    One thing from almost two weeks ago, is that Grandpa asked us one evening if we could start having Family Home Evenings together. So we decided to start that next Monday night, October 5th.  When we arrived at 7pm, I asked what opening song we should sing. Your Dad suggested Love At Home. Well Grandpa started singing it in Japanese, then your Dad in started up in Portuguese...so Grandma and I tried to keep up in English. It was awesome! I gave the lesson, then Grandma served brownies for dessert.  We missed last week because of traveling, but I'm sure we will meet again tomorrow night.  Grandpa said it was "a historic occasion." He seemed really pleased.     Gran and I drove to Weavers for Shelby's baptism, and spent the night going and coming, in Pendleton, Oregon. Dad...

Happy Conference weekend to you all!    It's wonderful to have our 3 new Apostles. I don't really know much about any of them...except I did get to shake hands with Elder Stevenson at my graduation, 2 and a half years ago. I was especially impressed, or touched by Elder Renlund's testomony this morning.  It was all wonderful, as usual. Hard to see President Monson getting so frail, I kept wanting someone to reach out and support him.    Last evening, Dad and I went over and watched the Priesthood session with Grandpa and Grandma. It was wonderful as well; some of my favorite talks are often from the Priesthood session. Grandpa wanted us to sing when the choir sang, so we all sang...it was sweet. He also asked if we could start having family home evenings together; we'll start tomorrow night. I imagine it will be just a 15 or 20 minute thing, and he is more than willing to share his Little Debbie fruit pies when it's his turn to be in charge of refreshments. ...
