Mary was baptized in May and I may as well say that Joelle was just baptized last Saturday. Mary's was May 11th. It was a very good day and everyone that lived here in Idaho was there. We will never stop missing Lynne and Craig's families. It is getting harder and harder for them to make visits. Gas prices make it almost impossible to travel. Also families grow and along with that they get more involved in activities. That is the way it should be but we miss them. Anyway, her baptism went really well and she looked so pretty in her white dress.
Scott started a family conference chat on Facebook. I absolutely love it! I check it as often as I can to see what the kids are saying. They are funny and they chat about everything. It has really helped to stay more involved and in touch with the kids from Utah.
I've been working on a scrapbook of my mother's ancestors. It was easy to start but lately I keep putting it off and I keep finding other things to do instead of tackling the scrapbook. It has become very difficult. I really want to get it done and I don't know why it has become so difficult lately to get to.
We drove down to Utah for Presley's blessing. Joan and Mom drove down from Logan and Lynne's family were there along with Dad and I and some of Diana's family. It was good. Presley is such a beautiful baby. Diana made Presley's dress and did a wonderful job. It looked very vintage.
Roger and I flew to Texas for a mini family reunion. Nicolle and Cathy weren't there and we all really missed them. I have mixed feelings about going. It was so nice to see everyone. I love my brothers and sisters and it is important for us to see each other once in a while to rekindle family connection. Its so easy to grow apart as we get more involved with our own families. The trip came to about $1000 though. I think about the shed I could have had instead, or a new garage door. I want to re-due my kitchen and it would have gone a long way in fixing it. Really, all those things are just things though. Money has always been an issue with me. I always want more then I have. I need to realize that people are more important then money.
I haven't mentioned what is happening with Broadmore. There has been a couple of times I thought Roger was going to quit. He was so close to doing it. The owners don't respect him and the Pro and they treat him unfairly most of the time. He doesn't make enough to support us and this has been going on for twenty-five years. I have been tired of it for a long time. I don't know what it will take for Roger to throw in the towel and walk out. The problem now is, I wonder if he has waited too long. Can we live on what he could make on lessons? I don't know.
My friend, Sue Patrick's mother passed away June 16th. So did Karen Chandler's mother. I felt bad because I wasn't there for Ilene Wilcox's funeral. I had everything planned and bought for it, as the Relief Society President but I wasn't there for Sue. She told me everything went okay though.
