 Dear everybody!

   When I went to Denver last week, I decided to not take my laptop with me, so I wouldn't be tempted to do any work while I was on vacation. So last Sunday evening, instead of sending a family email, I played Monopoly with Ben, Lynsey, Karen, and Joseph, and had a blast . . . except for the part where I went bankrupt first, Ben took over the world, and it was all my fault! :) 
   My visit there was so wonderful. Besides family (Ben, Lynsey, Joseph, Karen, Sam, Brad, Andi) I got to see Renee Carroll, Doug and Samantha Prisbrey, Sid, Shanelle and her family, Nick and Kari Bengston, ALL the Daltons, and several people at the Elmwood Lane building. The weather was nice, for the most part, and my travels were uneventful. 
   Dad and I got to have breakfast at Frontier Pies yesterday with a bunch of the Humphries: Reneta, Jared, Tonya, Venae, Spencer, Shalisa, Oaklynn, Carson, Stevie, Lakyn, Ellie, Alexis, Cameron, Dakota, Jonathan, Beth, and Hannah. It was really nice. Grandma is still at Carriage Cove (Skilled Nursing Rehab), recovering from her fall. Hopefully she'll be able to go back to Homestead (Assisted Living) by the end of the month. She's needing more care though, so I guess we'll see. 
   Then last night we had one of our Ministering families over for dinner, Marvin and Karen Bagley. We had a really nice visit. We had salmon, rice, salad, biscuits, and for dessert, Dad made Pudim de Leite (milk pudding or flan), and it was AMAZING as usual. 
  Happy birthday to Aimee, last Tuesday. We all love you SO MUCH! Love to you all, please write when you can,
 Mom/Johanna/Nana

Happy Easter Sunday to you all!     Conference has been wonderful, as usual. I hope that you will have the chance to watch or read the talks, if you didn't get to hear them today. I often find myself thinking of many of you as I listen to the talks. Today was no different. And especially you, Ben, when Bishop Causse, told that his family hadn't been to the Eiffel Tower, even after living near it for 20 years!  What things do we live near, that others would travel far to see? And more to his point, what blessings or opportunities do we have, that others only dream of?    Yesterday, Grandpa told us about a dream he had...at least I think it was a dream. He sometimes seems confused, but when I mentioned that he might feel confused, he said "I feel like I'm in a daze." Anyhow, he said that he was "greeting the men, as they came into the coffee shop." Then the next thing he knew, he was telling them that it was time for conference, and that "we all ...

Dear everybody,    First of all...Happy birthday, Ellen!  Grandpa and I were camping in Island Park, and didn't get you called!  We hope you had a wonderful day.  12 years old!  Oh, my goodness, that's hard to believe!    It seems that many of you are away from home right now, or just were, or are about to be... :) I haven't kept track of everyones plans, but I look forward to hearing all about this weeks activities!     Dad and I had planned to leave for our camping trip on Thursday afternoon, but a couple of other things made us put it off until Friday morning. Dad went to the debriefing meeting for the Emergency Communications drill we were involved in last Saturday. It was at the Stake Center about a mile east of the Rexburg Temple.  And I went to a viewing for Imelda Vargas. Below is a picture of her and her mother, Rosa, which was taken several years ago. Imelda was 40, and had an aneurysm in her brain, quite unexpecte...

  Hello everyone!    Well, 10% of our family had a birthday on Thursday, so that's a pretty big deal, I think! Ben, Bradley, and Leona, we hope that each one of you had a wonderful birthday!     We enjoyed having Shelby here so much, but the week went by too quickly. Grandpa, Gran and I each enjoyed our time with her.  On Saturday (a week ago), she and I went to a matinee and then had lunch with Beth and Hannah and did some shopping. Then Sunday afternoon, Shelby and I met her folks and Lucas in Twin Falls so she could go home. Grandpa wasn't able to come with us as he had planned because of the big fire in Fremont and Clark Counties. But it's finally out now.     A follow-up on my letter from a couple of weeks ago; Grandpa, Shelby, and I had started watching White Fang, but it was pretty upsetting in a few places and we decided to turn it off. Just a warning for more sensitive viewers.      LaRue Hunter Nelson (Dr. Milton...
