Hi everybody. I don't have much to add today, but we got a card in the mail from Mom and I thought I'd share the art work that was on the front. For some reason it reminds of when I was a little kid and we would swing on the swingset outside. I don't think I can remember a time when Mom wasn't working on one project or another. She is a good artist. I wish I had more of her artwork. And I wish I could have got a little more of the artist genes. Unfortunately those genes avoided me like the plague.

Looking forward to reading your posts!

Hi everybody! Here is the note that Cherilyn put in the Daily Times. Mark Dunn called while we were in Denver so some people have recieved a news letter Cherilyn sent out. Thanks for all the work Cherilyn!

Calls and letters are most apreciated, so don't hesitate to drop him a line as Dad is feeling well and apreciates the visit.

Mom also heard from Uncle Ray who wanted us all to know that he was the first to be "trained" by the infamous iron crutches. I'm sure that he never provoked her though!

Mom and Dad are doing well in Denver. Dad has finished his 3rd round of Chemo and is feeling very well. He went to the museum with Dave, Erin and company last week. They have rented out their house for the winter to provide for some of the expense of living in Denver. The Tenants come highly recomended and seem very nice. They were lucky to find such good people. Darrin and I spent some time shuffling some stuff around. Mom and Dad seemed tickled to sleep on their own bed. Most of their valuables are in storage now and the house is almost ready to rent. Rachel and Shonda have spent many hours boxing things up. When we backed the trailer up to the garage all the stuff we needed to take was in a pile by the door. It made it so much easier hauling the stuff since it was all in boxes. Joe and Annie worked with Rachel at the house putting the final odds and ends into boxes. Mark is coming next week to work on the garage. It won't take much at all to finish getting the house ready.

Again, a great big thanks to everyone for all the help, thoughts and prayers. It means the world to all of us but especially Mom and Dad. I recalled today a conversation I had with Barry Bluth where he told me that a prayer wasn't offered in their ward that Dad wasn't mentioned. These feelings were reiterated again today as I visited with members of the bishopric. We are so thankfull for the love and concern expressed by the ward members.
