Day Log 07.22.05 Friday

It was 7:30 when we woke up and after showers are getting ready to go down stairs to see if we can help in getting ready for brunch. Clouds are thick in Logan this morning but heat is still high.

All arrived at around 10 AM for a meal of sausage & eggs baked together, sweet rolls fresh from the oven, cantaloupe, water melon, cherries, juice and lots of talking about the past. Before long all were full of food and memories of those that were not able to attend today. We adjourned to the living room and went on talking into the early afternoon. Some sat in the chair of their choice and rested their eyes for a few minutes and then rejoined the conversation when it included them.

About 2:30 Aunt Ruby called a near by hair dresser and by 3 PM Mary was walking through the back yard into the salon for a trim. We were running the washer also about the same time so by 5 PM Mary was ready to run off to the book store for another couple of pounds of books, I want along to slow the increase of weight and decrease of income. We ran over to Wal-mart and found two more bags of granola mix for the trip home so now I have to remember that the next book store or mall stop equal time has to be given to the eight pounds of (4 bags) of granola that I added to the trip home.

Aunt Ruby, Uncle Gordon, and us went to a small Mexican restaurant for dinner, then rode around the very large town that used to Logan. Upon getting back we watched the “Tribute to Life” for President Hinckley on channel 5. This was very well done. Mary on the other hand had run off to see Aunt Dorothy, Aunt Shirley, Uncle Preston, Uncle Henry and any of the Derre kids she could find. I just got a call that she is now with Aunt Shirley shelling Peas and will be home later. The rain that has been in the area just started an the smells of outside have changed. I am hoping that the air will cool off as well.

We have talked to Aunt Teddy and will meet with her at noon on Sunday. J knows we hope to get to his place in St. George sometime around 8 PM Sunday evening. Cora should have picked phone message that we will show up tomorrow in her drive way at around 10 AM for a trip up to their cabin. So the next two days are going to be busy in travel and visits.

Lighting is flashing around the house, thunder is rolling across the valley and I am looking for my flash light incase the power goes off. I will save this for tonight and see about sending out the updates in the morning before leaving Logan.
