The month of January is drawing to a close, spent the last weekend in Cody, Wyoming with Rochelle, Kim and Ethan. Sure was cold, we visited a lot and Jean loved to go and see the animals, she loved the goat. The temperature was down to -12 and didn't get above 0 all the time we were there.

Now I know why I like Salt Lake, of course living in St. George in the winter has it's merits.

We hope that each of you have a good and prosperous new year.

I start working again on Monday at the Fairfield at the International Center. Hope to stay busy and out of trouble. Jean has some real chances on the horizon, hope one opens up soon.

A NEW Year

Hi All,

Here we are into a new year, it sure seems like a life time ago when Sharon left, she was a GREAT lady and we all miss her, especially me. I've given a lot of thought as to her illnesses and the one that caused her heart failure. I just wish that there was more we could have done to save her. I know that Heavely Father took her to a place with less stress and problems to deal with. I know that each of her children Debbie, Jerry and Robert all miss her greatly, it's not easy to loose your Mother, I know I lost mine a few years ago, but she was ready to go and it's okay. Sharon was taken unexpectedly, but it's okay also because she is in a better place with Christine and her Mother, a place she wanted to go to.

But now to the future, I love all of my children and grandchildren with all of my heart. I miss being with them as they grow and wish that Debbie, Jerry and Tobert would soften their hearts and invite me into their lives fully.

I want them to know that I do love Jean, she will never take Sharon's place, but she brings comfort and support into my life. I cannot live alone, it's my personallity and has nothing to do with them nor their lives, it's who I am, sho I've been since I was 21 years of age. I hope that they might take the time to read this and come to an understaning. I also am enjoying establishing a relationship with her children and grandchildren. I have come to know Jonathon, and Maddie, they are sweet children and are easy to fall in love with.

Well here we are into a new week in the new year. Things are progressing well, Bruce has been released from the mission and is looking for full time or even part time emplyment to keep busy. Jean is still looking for a job and has interviews this week, hopefully one will be fruitful.

We are still enjoying the comfort and solitude of our condo and do not miss the shoveling of snow and being out in the cold unless we have to go somewhere.

We hope that all of you are enjoying your lives and each other. {leas keep in touch.

Granddaughters Samantha, Stacy, June and Jane are all back in school. Sam graduates this spring and is looking forward to Graduate School somewhere, June is off in the orient on her study trip of a life time, she is doing well even though she has suffered sea sickness, but all in all she is doing great.

Let us know what is going on in your lives.

Love

Hi Family,

Here it is a new year and we're just getting our feet on the ground. It has been a wonderful Holiday season, being able to visit with Steph and her Family in December, and to have Tiffany and Family here for Christmas Dinner with Gina and June was so great.

We are looking forward to a great new year. Bruce was down woth a cold over the New Year so we stayed home and enjoyed the quiet time.

June is off on her adventure to the Far East, India, Affrica and Europe, it's such a great chance for her to learn more about the world and what others live like.

We are planning a visit to Rochelle's this month.

Bruce compleates his mission this month and is going back to work full time and Jean is still looking for work.

Keep in touch.
