"It's About Time"!!

In fact, it is way past time to get this caught up!! We really neglect this blog page! If I knew how to add fun things and pictures to it--like Chris and Stacie do on theirs--I MIGHT get into it more often!! Oh, well, "No news is good news"!! Or is it "Silence is Golden"?
I shall go back about 3 weeks ago--I had my Herceptin treatment on a Mon. morning early and then we took off on the freeway for St. Geo., UT and arrived at Manell's about 7pm. After visiting wuth her on Tues., we went up to Spanish Fork, UT to Larry's sister's, Elaine & Merril Cox. We had a real nice visit with them and went on up to Clearfield on Thurs.--after a nice visit & lunch date with Derek Whitney in Orem. We went back into Salt Lake on Fri. afternoon and visited some friends and then went to the Tahitian missionary reunion with them. We enjoyed that--with about 250 people there! We watched and listened to Conference on TV in Velma's basement on Sat. and Sun. Between sessions, we ate, visited, and enjoyed the great hospitality that Velma always gives us!! Besides the Great meals!! She really overdoes herself!! Neva & Dwayne Brimhall (my sister), also drove up and so we had a good time together!! We had a good trip all the way--getting home on Wed. about 6pm. We brought Jenny and Morgan, her fiance, back from St. Geo. so they could get a uhaul truck and move her furniture from the apartment here to her apartment up there. She is working up there now until they get married in Oct. Since then, we have tried to "catch up" on a few things--but they just don't seem to "catch up"!! I have worked out in my flower planters about 4 hours this week, and have hardly made a dent in them!! I need to do some sewing, I have had Dallin here 2 times--bless him! He sure can explore into everything!!--but I do enjoy him!! We have had 2 Dr. appointments--Thurs. and this Tues. We went to the lung specialist last Tues. He said I wasn't ready for the lung surgery my oncologist thot I should have. I am not short-breathed enuf!! So he will keep tab on me for the next 6 mo. and see how I progress--or if I will even have to have it!! So-o-o, we shall wait and see!! Grandpa is still working in his workshop and the temple. He has spent a lot of time in my behalf--going with me to Dr. and then taking care of the car from a "fender-bender" I had before going to Utah. SHAME ON ME!! But that's life, Hm, Stacie? I shall call it a Night now and go to bed! It is about that time!! Love you all and hope you are doing as well as we are!! GOODNITE!!

Glad to hear that everything is going well and that you had a fun trip to Utah. I would like to get away and take a fun trip somewhere. Instead I spent the weekend doing yardwork. I understand how you feel about your flower beds. I got attacked by my rose bushes, but I think everything is looking much better now. Hope you continue to have a good week. Love you.
