 Dear everybody,

   Well, I decided to start sending emails again. So much has happened in all our lives the past year or so; I won't even try to catch up . . . I'll just try to keep up from now on, at least once a month. 
   Yesterday was Heidi's birthday!  Wow, do we all love you, Heidi! I hate to tell you this, but in July, you'll be the very same age I was when we moved to Denver. Weird, huh?
   This week we have had 3 inches of snow, then a beautiful, sunny day, then a wind storm day, then another nice day, then an even worse wind storm day. Now it's time to vacuum all the window sills and doorways, etc. 
    Last Sunday it was Easter and Conference. Anne, Stephen, and Ashleigh came and had lunch with us and stayed for the last session of Conference. It was so nice to have them here one last time, this semester. 
   Thursday and Friday of this week I worked at the hospital. Thursday, just my job and back-up for the Discharge Planner, then Friday as the Discharge Planner. I used to do that job all the time, but it's been a while. It went better than I had feared, actually pretty well. Now I'll be back to my own job, working from home . . . until next time I am asked to fill in.
   As much as I can, I do family history . . . I guess there are worse addictions! I'm sure glad to have Gran here, because she actually remembers many of the people I'm researching. I wish I had been taking notes each time she talked about her memories of relatives on both the Templin and Haeberle side. 
   We're all good, just looking forward to updates from what your groups are up to. 
   Love to you all!

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...
