Delayed note

Dear family,

Sorry I haven't written in a few days.

Mark, I saw Boyce Simons at Church yesterday and he asked about you. He mentioned that he hasn't gotten a letter from you in a while. Want me to print your emails and deliver them to him?

Love to all,

Dad

My evening schedule has been all messed up. Quick recap of the last several days:

Friday we went to Thanksgiving Point with the Albertsons. Abbie stayed with Julie while Julie fed Hazel. Trevor and I took the rest of the kids through the gardens. They were more interested in rolling down hills and splashing in fountains than looking at the flowers, but we all had a very nice time. We got back to their house in time for a late dinner.

Saturday was my turn to work at the credit union. I got a lot of catch-up and admin work done, which was nice. In the afternoon we went back to the Albertson's to finish activities that we didn't get to on Friday. Dinner there again was yummy, especially the fresh fruit.

Sunday was nice. I was finished with meetings by 3:00 pm. The sister missionaries newly assigned to our area dropped by for a visit, and we all enjoyed getting to know them. They're good workers and have a bright spirit about them. After dinner we suggested singing a couple hymns before bed; someone launched into a song from Scripture Scouts, and we ended up singing several favorites. Funny.

Today I took Scott to lunch for his birthday. We went to Guru's and enjoyed our time together. I got more done at work, and it felt good. We had a special Board meeting in the afternoon to discuss our Springville building project and think we have selected a contractor. FHE tonight included launching Alka-Seltzer rockets in the driveway and a lesson on the sacrament.

More later…
