ADDING ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER!!

On Thanksgiving Day 2011 MY BABY GIRL, Debra, (she's 23) announced her engagement to Matthew Phillip Chertudi. They will be married on June 30, 2012.  We are thrilled with her choice of a patient and kind person. Did I mention he is also handsome?

Boston Bootcamp - Prologue

I left Twin Falls on June 23 and drove to Boise where I saw Sarah, Rachel, and Debra at lunch. I stayed overnight in Ontario and then drove to Seattle. On Friday, Sam introduced me around the law office where he and Jen work. We also went to lunch at a nice little place where they had wonderful sandwiches. Saturday morning my sleep machine died. Maretta got right on the problem as she knows her way around the medical community and eventually, even though it was Saturday, and because of help from many willing people, I got set up with a loaner machine. I was so relieved, because I would not have slept on my trip and neither would anyone else. We celebrated Sam's 32nd birthday on the 26th. I don't think he wanted to get a year older, but the alternate choice is not so good. Sunday we took a nice walk around a park in Olympia. It was beautiful. Monday I flew to Boston from SEATAC.

A Family Explosion!!!

Easter, 2011

Samantha, my seven year old granddaughter, gave a talk in Primary (kid's church) on Eaastr Sunday. She told about Christ's crucifixon and His resurrection. She prepared her talk by watching a video about Jesus, then tellling her dad what she had learned. Her dad typed her words. I was amazed by what she knew.
