It is always good to post your name at the top of the blog so we'll know whose talking to us. I had a great day yesterday. I got to Sac. Mtg. There was a couple who had returned from Africa. The Sister gave such a discription of the dire poverty they live in. Everything is filthy. Just out houses even at Church. The Church is making a big difference. They're teaching the importance of cleanliness. The importance of pride even though you don't have much, you can keep it clean. We were so lucky to have been born in the Church; to be born in America; to have our lovely homes, beautiful chapels, etc. It may not have been luck. We may have earned it. I'm going to miss your big birthday party, but we will be thinking of you. Happy Birthday to Dale, Shaylee, Matt, Abby, & Michael. Cards may come late all beause of Martin Luther King's Birthday, the Post Office is closed. Last Fri., we had a big FHE with the Brimley brothers and sisters at Ned's House. I Love them all. They are talking about a BIG Brimley Reunion. That will depend on our second child to co-plan it with all the other 2nd children; that would be you Jill. Blaine will name a date sometime. Dad & GPA had to go to emergency last week. Jeff took him there. The pain was so bad. They prescribed Tylenol with Codine and a muscle relaxant. It makes him sleepy. He will go to the Surgeon with the X-Rays, (which by the way is on a CD disk,
instead of a big manilla envelope.) He will just make sure nothings out of place from his hip operation and I suppose will send him again to the Spine Dr. Jeff is still out of work. sending out resumes. He's had a couple of tire dealers call him. He would have to be on his feet too mich. Love, ibm and GMA
