  Hi everybody,    Good grief...it's almost June! I think most of you kids are out of school for the summer now? Any who aren't besides Maddie?     Steve, I hope you're feeling better now; I hope the pain is under control. Your Mom sent a picture of your elbow and one of you after having it put back in place; it didn't look like you were feeling any pain at the time, but I imagine it returned. I'll leave it up to you to share this with everyone.     Ben's and Sam's families; I'd like to hear more about your travel plans, dates, places and all. It would be fun to know where you will be and when, so we can enjoy the trip right along with you!     I've planted a small garden, a few tomatoes that aren't looking to good. Some carrots, for the second time; I think they didn't get enough water the first time. Some garlic...I've never planted it before. And some yellow crook-neck squash. I hope to get a couple of zucchini starts plante...

  Hi everybody!    First off, I forgot to include in my last letter that Dad, Grandma and I went to the Idaho Falls Temple open house on May 9th. It was so beautiful and what was even more wonderful was that they have kept all the murals and only updated the furnishings, colors, carpets, etc... After we finished, the three of us had lunch at Olive Garden. Then Dad headed to Boise for meetings and Grandma and I did some shopping on our way home. I had gotten a ticket for Gran but she decided against it at the last minute. I think she had been really stressed about how she would do getting around, even though I had offered to bring Grandpa's wheelchair. But as we got into and out of the bus, taking us to and from the Temple from the Stake Center across town, and at various other places, I think she would have felt very uncomfortable or self conscious and I feel that she made the right decision. She would rather miss something like that then have people making a big deal abo...

  Hello everyone,    Just a few quick thoughts... Aimee, how did your first RS lesson go a couple of weeks ago? I've meant to ask you. And Heidi, how did it go, speaking in Sacrament meeting today? I wish I could have been there for both of those.     Anne will be 15 this week!!! Oh sweet girl; we all love you so much and love watching your life unfold. You have so many wonderful times ahead...enjoy! :)    Ben, thanks so much for sharing those pictures (treasures) with us. Some great memories there. I remember at his funeral, you said that Uncle Alex had been such a good example to you of what an uncle should be...you've always lived up to that.     Sam, your summer sounds busy and memorable. I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing all about your travels. I'm so glad we're part of your plans!     Work is going well; we've had low census recently, but an unusual number of psych and/or attempted suicide p...

  Hi all,    Just a short letter tonight. I just got home from a few days in Boise. I attended the Qualis Patient Safety conference on Thursday and Friday. I spent Wednesday and Thursday nights at Weaver's and Friday and Saturday nights at Hessing's. Had a wonderful visit at both places. Thank you all for your hospitality and love. Stayed up too late talking with daughters and took lots of pictures of grandkids. All in all a great visit!     I got home this afternoon in time for the Stake Self Reliance kick off meeting. Now I'm home and glad to be here.     There were things from the conference that I may share in next weeks letter. Love you all, Mom/Johanna/Nana p.s. Aimee, how did it go with teaching your first Relief Society lesson at President?  Hi all, Mom, glad you had a nice trip.  I have lots of catching up to do on all our activities, but I wanted to share some stories from a while back while they are fresh in my mind. Lyns...
