Dear Everyone-
We had a nice trip to see the Calif Jansens. One day we went to Sutters Mill - the kids panned for gold and got some - just little flakes that they put in a very tiny bottles of water. They were happy with the fools gold, so some of that got in the bottles too.
Last evening I watched Ch 9 about the Calif gold rush, and after seeing Sutters Mill, I could better appreciate what I was seeing on TV.
Sharon goes in Fri for a hysterectomy. She is not happy about getting someone elses blood, but the dr said her own blood wasn't good enough to take before the surgery, and it would take months to build her own blood up if they took it.
I have been getting dozens of calls from a nut. He would just hand up, then when I saw his name on the caller ID, I would answer "You have the wrong number." He'd apologize, then it would happen again. I asked why he kept calling my number and he said he was trying to call his brother that was on number off mine, that he has ADD and didn't take his retard medicine and he was really sorry. Finally I called the phone co and got "caller reject." I didn't get it on before we went to Calif, and when we got back he had called 8 times from his number and once from another number, so I put both numbers on "reject. It will be worth the $4.50/mo.
Alene, Steph, Jess, and Shelly had a girls-day-out, and went to Hale Theater To Kill a Mocking Bird. And she and Steph went wedding gown shopping. One place had about 1000 but only about 20 were temple appropriate. Don't those dummies know they are missing a big market in Utah?
Russ said to tell Alene that Starbucks has branched out. They have two or three chocolate non-coffee drinks. And about Carla taking Bear to McD's when they get to Ohio, the Golden Corral would be cheaper.
Jeri heard from Bear and he is burned out! He has been AP for 7 mo, and has 3 to go. They had a big meeting to be reassigned, the pres came in, opened the meeting, turned it over to Bear, and left, so Bear had to make the assignments.
Mel met Laurette in Boston and showed her around. I haven't heard from L. to see how her conference went.
Matt had an appt with a woman, and when they got there, 20 of her relatives were there. They taught the message of the restoration, then LaVonne took over and read from the B of M. Said she had been going to church for 50 years, and had never heard of the B of M, and said "Why aren't our pastors teaching of this? Could it be because it would change their doctrine?" Then she turned to Matt and comp and said "I want to be baptized."
I can't remember if I told you we went to Brigham City to see Harriet. Carla and Jeff drove us, and we stopped at Maddox on the way up. Yummm. When we walked in Harriet looked surprised, then she recognized us, I think. Then she looked at Dad and said "You sure look like my brother."
She seemed lucid one minute then out of it the next. She can't get out of bed alone, can't stand alone, can sit in a chair if you put her there, so JC tells us she needs a place with more security!!! The social worker came in and introduced himself. Said he hasn't met her son, yet.
Doug has a one week job, surveying out on the Nevada desert. Carla went to visit Lori and family. When climbed in the car to come home Livy had a fit. Carla was sick last week, so when Livy called she excitedly said "Hi- grandma" and then this hoarse croaky voice answered it scared Livy, so she wouldn't talk anymore.
Danny Dksn talked to Ted and said he may be interested in going to Ohio St next year (not this coming year) for an MBA.
