Helping Move

As some of you may have noticed I have not blogged nor written e-mails much in the past couple of weeks so maybe I should explain what has been going on. On the 15th I left here to go help Heather and Stephen and boys pack up their belongings and bring them here. They have been with us the past week while they waited for the apartment to be ready. Today it was finally available and they got moved in (well mostly). Glen came and helped with the heavy stuff this afternoon. I got back here on Sunday night from helping them pack and move then I headed out the following morning to the NWFP Convention in Portland. This year Teri went with me. The only real problem with that is we left Rose home with the stomach flu. She took the whole week to get over it but not without her sharing it around with some of the other family members. It is too much of a story to tell but we are glad that they are settled and Rose is feeling better. Now if Teri and I can just get well.

Back to Work

Well, as always happens, the holiday is coming to an end. Hope there is not too much work piled up from the last couple of weeks.

Everyone has gone home now and things are going to seem quiet around here.

New Year's Day 2009

Do we look old enough to be grandparents to you? I have been thinking about time a bit as we are into the new year. It seems to have really gone by quickly. It will soon be 31 years that we have been married and we now have three grandchildren but it seems like just yesterday that we got married and of course to think we have lived in Washington now for 15 years is almost too much to believe. Anyway here is a link to an essay by Orson Scott Card on the subject of time that I found interesting. http://www.mormontimes.com/mormon_voices/orson_scott_card/?id=5656
