Happy Easter everyone!  And happy birthday to Lynsey, yesterday!     Dad and I have both been sick most of the past week. And Gran went to Uncle John's and Aunt Annie's for the weekend with Jocie and Janie. She just got home this evening. It's been pretty quiet around here. Beth, Gerald, and others, have been pitching in next door to be sure Grandpa and Grandma are okay.    Before I forget...Last Saturday night (March 19) when we went to the DYW where Emma won!  I meant to say thank you to those of you whose names were on the program list as having donated toward the scholarships.  That was very generous of you, and was a worthy cause! Emma really made the family proud.     One day while I've been in bed, I watched Sister Helen Lundgren's funeral service. Gregg had sent a DVD to me in the mail. It was a great service, and it was nice to see lots of familiar faces from that Ward.    James, we were all sorry to hear of y...

Hi everybody,    I'm not feeling too good; started feeling bad late yesterday afternoon. Cough, a little sore throat, achy, etc... I'm sure it will pass soon. I've just been taking it easy since coming home after church.  I even slept through the home teachers visit.    I hope that you all are well.  Can't think of much to say.  I hope that some of you will write...I'd love to hear what'ts going on in your lives.  Love you bunches!  Mom/Johanna/Nana Hello Wonderful Family!! Mom,    Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, I hope you feel better soon.  We have had a very full and fun weekend here in Denver.  We've had some friends staying with us since Thursday that are in town from Utah.  We had an amazing turn out for our Easter party on Saturday afternoon.  Also since it snowed on Friday we moved the egg hunting part of the party over to the church building.  It worked out very well with a...

Dear everybody,    Happy day to you all.  I imagine you all know by now, that no one is running against Dad for Sheriff this time. I don't think the timing for this particular blessing could have been any better.  It's never happened for us before, and may not again, but we're sure happy about it!     Today is Gran's 83rd birthday; we didn't do anything big. She's had a lot of phone calls, Jake's family came out and we had birthday cake, she went to all three meetings...I think it's been a good day for her.    Recently I've realized something about myself, I haven't been counting my many blessings, I've been counting my burdens instead! I'm pretty sure that's not how the song goes...and for good reason!  In the future I will be more careful not to focus on what may be difficult for me, but rather on the good things.  And in fact, it may be that the burdens are actually blessings, if only I knew. So if I get to complaining to a...
