Hi everybody!    I hope your are all doing well.  I just got back from taking a walk; went between rain showers to stay dry. It was a pretty day for a walk.     We've had an eventful couple of weeks, haven't we?  Between April 5th and 19th, we lost Grandpa, then Howard Moon, and then Will Park.  I must admit, I have taken Will's death harder than the other two.  We're just happy for Grandpa and Howard; but I guess we should feel the same way for Will; his death was just much more surprising.     Beth had a hysterectomy earlier this week, and she's back home now, doing pretty well, as far as I know.  Janie has been in the hospital with pneumonia, exacerbated by asthma, and had thought she might go home today, but the doc told her this evening that they would shoot for tomorrow.    I went to Boise on Thursday for a Qualis meeting at the Riverside hotel, and got to spend some time with Dixie's and Zach's family....

Hi everybody!    Sorry this email is so late in the evening.  Dad and I had a meeting in Rigby this evening and just got home. It was a meeting of the ECS, Emergency Communication System of the Church, Ham radio operators for the most part.  Their were representatives from Stakes all over the region.    I'm sure most of you know, but just in case...Howard Moon passed away on Friday. He often called, usually at least once a week, so I got to talk with him last on Wednesday night.  He sounded weaker than I had ever heard him sound, and was in more pain than usual. So I wasn't surprised when his nephew, Jerry, called to let us know.  I don't know anything yet about services, but he will be buried in the Parker cemetery.    Grandma is doing well.  This week she went to Boise for a couple of days, with Reneta. She got to see Alexis's baby. Today after church, she and Gran had lunch with us, and then both enjoyed our home teachers visi...

Hi everybody,    It's been an interesting week, especially the last day or two.  Dad and I left yesterday afternoon and drove to Elko to adopt a Moose!  The house Dixie and Zach are moving into doesn't allow dogs, so Moose will now be our dog. We came home this morning, so it was a super quick trip. But we hadn't seen them since last November, so it was wonderful, even though short. Dixie, Zach, and kiddos will be moving into their new place in Boise a week from tomorrow.    We got to listen to a lot of Conference, and what we heard was wonderful.  I hope you all got to enjoy it too.     Recently Grandma has been having trouble managing Grandpa's medications. She feeds him, does his laundry, is there with him 24/7, and keeping the meds straight was just one thing too many. Once she accidently put his oral morphine (liquid) in his eye, instead of the eye drops he had needed.  And then on Thursday, she accidently took his meds hers...
