HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LITTLE KATIE!!! She was two years old on Saturday but Bob said they weren't going to celebrate until today. She is such a darling little girl but as Claire said yesterday, she is growing up too fast!!!

We are having an absolutely gorgeous Spring day here in Orem - our yard looks manicured and our house isn't "too dirty" so Daddy & I are going fishing as soon as I finish my letter!!! I am going to write it today but won't mail it until tomorrow - Daddy goes back to see Dr. Brown in the morning and he will have the results from the blood test so I will tell you about it in a postscript to this blood test so I will tell you about it in a postscript to this letter. Daddy feels just great and isn't having any more problems with his hand so I'm sure the blood test will be good!!!

We had such a wonderful day yesterday. The Bob Mellors, Woolleys and Daddy & I all met at the Weinerts for dinner and to watch our General Conference on television - we missed John and Roy, Patrice & Emily. The food was "out of this world" and there is absolutely nothing that Daddy & I enjoy more than to have our family get together - the little children just love each other SO much and so do the adult children and that makes us very happy!!!

Ann, Jean & I went to see Claires' parents' new home and what a treat that was - I have never seen a more beautiful home and so tastefully decorated. Daddy asked me if it made me envious and the only thing I envy is their talent - I just can't imagine being able to plan a home like that and decorate it that way. They could surely do that for a business if they were so inclined. Alice, (Claire's Mom), has made all the draperies and they are BEAUTIFUL. We are thrilled for them!!!

We had our missionary reunion on Friday night and it was so enjoyable. We had a very small crowd (only about ten) but I loved it because I could sit down with them and visit instead of rushing to answer the door and scurry around with refreshments. They just helped themselves and enjoyed being with Daddy reminiscing about our mission - what a great blessing that has been in our lives!!!
