Dearest Family,
I am looking at my calendar for last week
and there isn't much to write about and I have to ask myself "why am I
SO busy"??? I know the reason is because I AM SO SLOW and there isn't
anything I can do about that - ha!!!
I did mail the "genealogy stuff" to Shirley
but I haven't heard from her. It is going to be VERY interesting to see
if she follows through on the geneaology book. I have a few more dates
to get - Michael's endowment date and the date Rick's parents were
sealed in the temple and when I get them, I will print everything I have
and mail it to each one of you. It will be good for us to have those
records even if Shirley's plans don't work out.
I have talked to each one of you this week
and of course that makes me happy. Thanks to John for talking to our
new attorney - I appreciate him keeping on top of that very much.
Thanks to Roy for calling to give me the genealogy information I needed
- I don't talk to him often and it's good when he calls to always say
"This is Roy" because Bob, Roy & John all sound alike and it was fun to
talk to him. Thanks to Annie for getting me informed about the "Woolley
coming and goings" - she had talked to Jessie that day when it was -4 in
Provo and 78 in San Diego!!! Thanks to Jeannie for her visit and
telling me about Boyd & Barji's fun time in California even though Boyd
didn't make the cut to play in the Buick Challenge. I thought that was
SO interesting and I am VERY happy to become more informed about the
game of golf. The headlines in our paper said that a player by the name
of "Singh" was the leader and the next day, the headline was that he
didn't make the cut to continue. I know that's "the game of golf". We
are proud of Boyd's success at Pebble Beach - I couldn't track that for
some reason and it was funny because Chris called me from Little Rock
early one morning and she was so excited because she had read in
the Little Rock paper that Boyd had done well. Thanks to Bob for coming
over to visit a few minutes ago and for giving me some needed advice!!!
One of my neighbors called me this week and
invited me to a "free" dinner at the Sizzler. She said we would have to
listen to a fire safety program during the dinner and I thought it was
going to be put on by the fire department and that they would ask for a
donation or something. ANYWAY - Margaret and I went and it was a
private smoke and heat detector company and they were advertising their
products. They came to our condos on Friday morning and gave us their
ideas about the detectors we needed and where to put them. To make a
long story short I bought two of them for $562.12. It seemed like a
good safety thing because of his sales pitch but Bob looked up "smoke
alarms" on the internet and the most expensive ones are about $50.00 -
I'm sure we were taken advantage of. The information they left here
said we could cancel our purchase within 3 business days so I am going
to call in the morning and tell them I have changed my mind and ask them
to come pick them up. There won't be a problem because I charged them
and I'll call my credit card company and cancel the charge. Margaret
bought four of them but that won't bother her one single bit. I
don't usually "fall" for sales pitches and there were several "red
flags". They gave us a large box of sharp knives, a free dinner and I
won a prize of a fire extinguisher for the kitchen. OH ME!!! Lynn
would never have fallen for that and Bob is SO much like his Dad.
I went to the Roger's Memorial Theatre"
production of "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" on Thursday night and it was
unbelievably good. I continue to be amazed at all the talent in this
area - they do a remarkable job on such a small stage. It is always fun
to go with our little "condo group".
Jeannie & Rick just came over so I am going
to stop writing - I don't have any more news!!! They brought me the
dates I need from their family so now all I need is Michael's date.
I LOVE EACH ONE OF YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH.
PLEASE BE SO VERY, VERY CAREFUL IN EVERYTHING YOU DO.
Grandma B XXXXXOOOOO
