IT IS TIME I TRY TO REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN jUNE AND jULY

AUGUST 2ND 2011
IN JUNE I DIDN'T WRITE MANY NOTES ON THE CALENDAR SO GUESS I WAS RESTING. I HAD CHRIS COME AND REPAIR MY SPRINKLER SYSTEM IN HOPES MY LAWN WOULD LOOK GOOD CHRIS IS A FRIEND OF LEVI'S AND SINCE LEVI IS SO BUSY HE SUGGESTED
I CALL HIM. IT TOOK ALL DAY TO REDO THE MAIN LINE ETC.
ON THE 9TH I GOT A PERM FOR THE TRIP CLAY AND I WILL MAKE TO VIRGINIA AND CLEVELAND THIS MONTH. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE FAMILIES THERE.
MY FAITHFUL VISITING TEACHERS CAME ON THE 13TH. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE THEM AFTER MY LAST ONES NOT COMING ONLY ONCE ARE TWICE IN CLOSE TO A YEAR. THEN I VISITED WITH ELAINE TO TWO OF OUR LADIES CAN'T GET THE OTHER ONE TO CALL BACK NOR ANSWER HER DOOR IF WE JUST KNOCK. THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF VISITING TEACHING.
JUNE 21ST SAW CLAY AND I BOARDING THE AIRPLANE FROM I.F TO DENVER. WE HAD A GOOD FLIGHT AND A LAY OVER IN DENVER. CLAY GOT A FEW WINKS AND I PEOPLE WATCHED. THE CHAIRS WOULDN'T LEAN BACK FOR ME TO NAP. THEN WE WERE OFF TO DULLES AIRPORT AND ARRIVED ABOUT 11P.M. HOW EVER MY SUIT CASE DID NOT ARRIVE WITH ME. SCOTT WAS THERE TO MEET US AND I GOT IN THE CAR WITH HIM WHILE CLAY TRIED TO FIND MY BAG. SINCE SCOTT HAD TO KEEP MOVING ARE GET TICKETED I FINALLY TOLD HIM I'D GO FIND CLAY AND WE'D LEAVE WITH OUT MY SUIT CASE. WE GOT OVER TO THEIR APT. AND DENISSE WAS WAITING UP FOR US. WAS SO GOOD TO SEE AND BE WITH THEM AGAIN. THE NEXT MORNING AFTER BREAKFAST DENISSE AND I WENT BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND GOT MY BAG. THEY WOULD HAVE DELIVERED IT BUT MAYBE BY 7 P.M. IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE CLEAN CLOTHS AND I DECIDED TO ARRANGE MY STUFF SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO CHECK MY BAG AGAIN COMING HOME. THE GRAND KIDS LOVED HAVING GRANDPA THERE TO PLAY WITH THEM AND HE ENJOYED THE PLAYING. SINCE DENISSE WAS SO PREGNANT AND CLAY HAD SEEN EVERYTHING BACK THERE WE MOSTLY SPENT TIME ENJOYING DOING LITTLE ACTIVITY . ON FRI. WE WENT TO PICK SCOTT UP FROM THE HOSPITAL AND FOUND A PLACE TO EAT AND THEY TOOK ME TO SEE THE TEMPLE. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VISITORS CENTER AND THE TEMPLE IS SUCH A SPECIAL ONE. THANKS AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR DOING THAT FOR ME. THE GRANDS WERE SO GOOD AS WE SAT OUT SIDE LOOKING UP AT THE TEMPLE AND RESTING FOR THE WALK BACK TO THE PARKING LOT. I DID LOVE BEING THERE WITH FAMILY AND ENJOYED WATCHING BRADEN AND BRIELLE.
SAT. WE SLEPT IN AND AFTER A GOOD MEAL SCOTT AND BRIELLE AND BRADEN TOOK CLAY AND I TO CLEVELAND. RYAN AND KARA HAD A GOOD PICNIC DINNER READY WHEN WE GOT THERE AND WAS SO FUN TO SEE THE COUSINS AS THEY INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER. I DON'T KNOW WHO ENJOYED THEM BEING TOGETHER THE MOST THEM TO BE ABLE TO PLAY ARE ME TO SEE HOW GOOD THEY PLAY TOGETHER. IT MAKES ME HAPPY TO SEE MY FAMILY ENJOY FAMILY LIFE
.
THE HI LIGHT OF THIS WAS SEEING MILY AND GETTING TO HOLD AND LOVE HER. SHE IS SUCH A CUTE LITTLE DOLL BABY.

SAT. WE WENT TO DINNER AND THEN HOME FOR ALL THE KIDS EXCEPT ME AND MILY TO PLAY IN THE HOSE AND WITH THE WATER GUNS AND BALLONS. SCOTT SEEMED TO GET WETTER THAN ANY ONE ELSE. ANOTHER GREAT TIME IN MY MEMORY BOOK.
RYAN GOT PERMISSION TO BLESS EMILY LYNN WHILE WE WERE THERE AND HE GAVE HER SUCH A SWEET BLESSING. SO HAPPY IT ALL WORKED OUT FOR OUR BENEFIT. SCOTT AND HIS CHILDREN PACKED UP AFTER DINNER AND HEADED BACK TO VIRGINIA AND RYAN TOOK CLAY AND I AND HIS BOYS OVER TO SHOW US WHERE HE IS LEARNING TO BE AN IMPRESSIVE DENTIST. THAT WAS ANOTHER ENJOYABLE TIME KNOWING WHERE HE SPENDS HIS DAYS NOW.

MONDAY RYAN TOOK CLAY AND I TO SEE THE JOHNSON FARM.I DID SO ENJOY SEEING HOW IT HAS BEEN FIXED TO BE AS NEAR THE TIME PERIOD WHEN THE CHURCH WAS IN THAT AREA. THANKS KARA FOR LETTING US DO THAT. CLAY AND KAREN HAVE SUCH SPECIAL DAUGHTER-IN-LAWS. ALL THREE SO KIND TO ME.
THE 28TH WAS LEAVING DAY BUT WE HAD A PICNIC IN THE LITTLE PLAY PARK AND THE BOYS DID PLAY AND HAVE FUN THERE. AFTER WE ATE AND IT GOT TOO WARM WE WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE TO PACK AND BE READY WHEN RYAN CAME TO TAKE US TO THE AIRPORT. WHEN HE GOT HOME WE EAT THEN HE AND NATANIEL AND CHRISTOPHER TOOK US TO THE AIRPORT. THE FLIGHT TO DENVER WAS GOOD BUT THEY HAD FEW SNACKS FOR US. THAT WAS OK BY ME I DIDN'T NEED TO EAT MORE.
OUR LAY OVER WAS SHORTER COMING HOME THAN GOING AND WE HAD A MAN AT THE WHEEL NOT THE LADY THAT TOOK US FROM HERE TO DENVER.
KAREN MET US AND BROUGHT US HOME AND IT WAS GOOD TO LAY DOWN IN MY BED TOOK A FEW DAYS TO GET CAUGHT UP ON REST. ALL IN ALL GREAT TIME AND GREAT FAMILIES TO MAKE IT SPECIAL. MY THANKS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER GOOD TIME .
