HERE IT IS FEB. 1ST, 2010

I THOUGHT I'D TRY AND GET AHEAD OF THE MONTH THIS TIME. OH I ALWAYS HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS BUT SOME THING HAPPENS AND IT IS PUT OFF.
JANUARY 1ST PENNY AND I INVITED THE FAMILY TO HAVE DINNER AT OUR HOUSE. KAREN WAS PLEASED AS SHE HAD WORKED LATE NEW YEARS EVE. THEY OF COURSE HAD A HEAVY SCHEDULE. IT IS THAT INSURANCE THING I GUESS. I'M NOT REFERING TO THE PRESIDENTS INS. THING IN CASE ANY ONE WONDERS. BUT THAT ASIDE WE HAD KAREN AND LANNIE CJ LENELL AND THEIR SWEET BOYS. CLAY WAS TOO TIRED TO COME. WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND I HOPE DINNER WAS ENJOYED AS MUCH AS THEY SAID.
LENELL HAS A CARD MAKING MACHINE THING AND SHE AND PENNY SPENT TIME MAKING CARDS BOTH NEW YEARS EVE AND AGAIN ON NEW YEARS DAY. I HAD THREE WEDDING INVITATIONS AND HAD THEM MAKE ME THREE CARDS. I DID SO ENJOY EVERYONES VISITS. WE SHOULD DO IT AGAIN BEFORE I GET TOO OLD AND TIRED. CJ AND LENELL LEFT TO TAKE HER PARENTS TO DINNER FOR THEIR CHRISTMAS. THEY STAYED AT PETERSON'S THAT NIGHT AND LEFT FOR HOME FROM THERE. I FOR ONE DID SO ENJOY THE VISIT AND THE FUN PLAYING WITH THE TWO LITTLE BOY'S. THEY DO HAVE GOOD IMAGINATIONS FOR PLAY.
THE 3RD WAS SUNDAY SO I GOT UP FIXED SOME BREAKFAST BEFORE PENNY LEFT TO HEAD HOME. IT WAS WONDERFUL HAVING HER HERE FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND SHE GOT ALL MY CHRISTMAS THINGS TUCKED AWAY. I DOUBT I'D HAVE IT DONE BY NOW WITH OUT HER GOOD WORKS. WE DID A LITTLE SHOPPING WHILE SHE WAS HERE AND OF COURSE FOUND ANOTHER NATIVITY ARE MORE TO ADD TO THE COLLECTIONS. I DO LOVE NATIVITIES. OH YES AFTER PENNY LEFT AT ABOUT ELEVEN [I THINK] I GOT READY FOR CHURCH AND WENT THEN HAD SUNDAY DINNER WITH CLAY KAREN AND LANIE AND THEIR MEALS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST. PENNY LEFT ME A MESSAGE THAT SHE GOT HOME SAFE AND THAT IS ALWAYS A RELIEF TO ME. CHUCK CALLED ME ONE EVENING TO LET ME KNOW THEY WAS HOME AND ANOTHER NIGHT TO TELL ME ANDRA GOT HOME FROM SALT LAKE WITH OUT ANY TROUBLE. THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW.
I SAW THE TOOTH MAN ON REBA'S B/D THE 5TH I HAD WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PIECE OF ENAMEL FALL OFF MY TOOTH HE'D FIXED IN NOV. ON CHECKING HE SAID IT WAS A PIECE OF THE STUFF HE;D FILLED IT WITH. LATER IN JAN. I LOST ANOTHER PIECE SO I REALLY GET FOOD CAUGHT IN THERE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT HE WOULD DO WITH IT SO WILL WAIT TILL I SEE HIM AGAIN.
ON WEDS. I PULLED THE DRAWERS OUT OF MY FRIDGE AND GAVE IT A GOOD SCRUB. THAT IS SO EASY FOR ME TO PUT OFF. LIZ LOOKS AFTER THE STOVE AND MICROWAVE BUT THE FRIDGE IS UP TO ME.
ON THE 7TH WE WENT TO VISIT A LADY WHO WE'D NOT CAUGHT UP WITH FOR VISIT TEACHING. THEY ARE INACTIVE BUT HAD BEEN GONE SO MUCH SINCE JULY IT WAS NOT EASY TO CATCH HER. ONE ARE TWO MONTHS WE DID TELEPHONE BUT THE REST SHE WAS GONE MOST OF THE TIME. I HOPE WE CAN CATCH HER EARLIER THIS MONTH AGAIN.
LANIE CALLED AND WE HAD LUNCH TOGETHER WAS SO NICE HAVING HER TO EAT WITH AT BABE'S.
IN DEC. AARON SORENSEN HAD INVITED ME TO HIS DAUGHTERS BAPTISIM FOR TODAY THE NINTH. I GOT UP AND GOT MY SELF READY WENT OUT TO THE CHURCH WAY OUT ON THE RIRIE HYWAY. EVAN AND VIVIAN HAD COME FOR THEIR GRANDDAUGHTERS BAPTISIM AND IT WAS SO GOOD TO SEE THEM AGAIN. AFTER IT WAS ALL OVER THEY INVITED ME TO DINNER WITH THEM SO WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND A GOOD VISIT. YES I'D DO IT AGAIN FOR THE FAMILY.
ON THE 12TH WE VISITED ONE MORE OF OUR LADIES SO WE GOT THE TWO HARD TO CATCH LADIES VISITED. THEN WEDS. WENT WITH MELBA AND JEANETTE HAD LUNCH AT MEBA'S CHOICE AT PERKINS. I WAS IN GOOD COMPANY. THEN THAT EVENING WENT TO THE WARD MONTHLY DINNER FOR SOME REALLY GOOD SOUP AND DESSERT.
ON SAT. I WENT TO RALPH WOODS VIEWING LOOKED FOR LANNIE AND KAREN BUT DIDN'T SEE THEM SO LEFT [PROBABLY AS THEY CAME IN ANOTHER DOOR.] I SHOULD HAVE WAITED AROUND A BIT LONGER BUT I'D ALREADY STOOD IN LINE BY A LADY WHO KEPT POKING AND SORTA PUSHING ME FOR CLOSE TO AN HOUR. I WAS TOTALLY WORN OUT BY THE TIME I GOT THRU.
18TH WE VISIT TAUGHT KRIS RICHARDS SO NOW WE CAN REPORT OUR VISITING AS DONE 100%. IT DID MAKE ME FEEL GOOD TO HAVE SEEN ALL 3 WHO ARE SWEET PEOPLE.
GOT MY HAIR DONE THIS A.M. AND THEN IT WAS THE OVER 60'S AND FRIENDS LUNCH. I WAS JUST HEADING OUT THE DOOR WHEN CLAY CALLED TO TELL ME THE MAN WAS COMING TO FIX THE FRIDGE SO I COULD ONCE AGAIN GET WATER TO DRINK. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS ABOUT 15 MIN. LATE I DID GET A WARM WELCOME FROM THE GROUP WHO WONDERED WHERE I WAS. THE LUNCHEON WAS GOOD AND THE R/S PRESIDENT HAD SEEN THE HUNGRY MISSIONARIES AND INVITED THEM TO EAT WITH US. THAT WAS NICE AND THEY GAVE US A SHORT MESSAGE AND SCRIPTURE AND APRIL TOLD THEM TO COME EVERY THIRD THURS. AND EAT WITH US. IT WAS NICE HAVING THEM THERE AND KNOWING THEY HAD BEEN FED THAT DAY.
A LADY FROM THE 10TH WARD PASSED AWAY AND I WENT TO HER FUNERAL. I COUNTED SEVEN PAST AND THE PRESENT BISHOP ALL IN ATTENDANCE. BOYD ANDERSON SAT DOWN BY ME FOR A CHAT TO LET ME KNOW THEY ARE MOVING OUT THIS WAY. HE SAID THEY WOULD BE ACROSS SUNNYSIDE ACROSS FROM HILLCREST HIGH SCHOOL. THAT MIGHT PUT THEM IN OUR STAKE I'M NOT SURE. ANYWAY ELVA THOMPSON'S FUNERAL WAS SWEET. I'M ALWAYS HAPPY I REMEMBER TO GO TO GIVE SUPPORT TO FAMILY'S.
FRIDAY EVENING I USED THE LAST TWO WEDDING CARDS PENNY AND LENELL MADE FOR ME. STEVE AND THIRSA PICKED ME UP AND TOOK ME WITH THEM. BISHOP AND CONNIE BRUNDAGE HAD TWINS FOR THEIR LAST BABY'S. THEY MARRIED ON DIFFERENT DAYS BUT HAD AN OPEN HOUSE HERE AT THE BRUNDAGE HOME. THE BRIDES WORE THEIR WEDDING DRESSES AND THE GROOMS IN TUX AND THEY STOOD IN LINE TO BE CONGRATULATED AND THE PARENTS OUT AND AROUND GREETING AND VISITING PEOPLE AS THEY CAME AND WENT. IT WAS A REAL NICE AFFAIR. I OVER HEARD CONNIE TELL SOME ONE YOU NEVER KNOW ABOUT THE TWINS WHAT THEY WILL COME UP WITH.
YESTERDAY BEING SUNDAY WE MET WITH THE BISHOPRIC FOR THE THIRD HOUR AND THEY HAD PREPARED A GOOD MEETING ON OUR DUTY TO OUR FAMILY'S.
THAT'S IT FOR JANUARY EXCEPT FOR THE SNOW AND COLD ALL IS WELL WITH ME.
