California visit

Last week Bruce and I went to California to visit John and Lynn. We had such a great time. We watched the sunset from the beach which was gorgeous. They have ornage trees and we picked oranges and made fresh ornage juice. That was a treat. We spent Friday evening in the San Diego Temple with John and Lynn because they are workers there. One session we attended was spanish speaking so we had to wear ear phones. It is always a treat to go to the temple. Doug's Becky came with the twins on Friday. They are such cute little girls. We had such nice weather and John and Lynn are such fun people to be with. Hope we can go again sometime. Family is so important.

Farewell Autumn

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I was outside getting the yard ready for winter in my short sleeves, and today it is cold and rainy. Guess snow will be here soon. What a nice Fall we have had. I love the Fall time and all that goes with it, but now I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Grandpa's move


This Friday, Bruce moved his dad to Portland. He has been living with us for the past 4 years . His mind is still sharp but he is slowing down. He is now living in a nice Assisted Living Center there. I think it will be a great move for him. He was excited to go and has lots of family there to come see him. Would you believe, he was even allowed to take his dog with him. As long as he has his dog and his computer he'll be happy. They serve three meals a day with a variety on the menu and have house cleaning services. They also have all kinds of activites for him to enjoy. Sounds like a good life to me! Lat night, Bruce took him to his great-great-grandaughter's

baptism there in Portland. We will miss him, but it will be nice to have our house to ourselves. It's been a long time since Bruce and I have been alone in this house.
