Evergreen and Price



We made the annual visit on the Memorial Day weekend to visit J.R. and my parents. We first stopped and visited J.R. and took a few pictures and reminisced about him - how my heart aches to see him again. Be happy for me when you visit me laying beside him and put flowers on our headstones. We then traveled to Price where I had planned on decorating more than just my parent's graves (my friend, Vera Jean, and another friend's parents) but due to the down pouring of rain we put that off until our next visit in June. Marti and Richard joined Bill and I - it was very nice to have them with us. The significance of the snowballs - my father planted that bush in my back yard in memory of my mother.

My How Time Flies!

Bill and I went to a seder service (passover meal) again this year - this is our third year of doing this. Every year I learn more and more. Did you know that the "Last Supper" was a seder? Did you realize that many New Testament events occurred during Passover? Did you know that many important events in Church history takes place during Passover? If you have the opportunity to attend a Passover - do so!
We now have two elementary school teachers in the family - Michael and Marti graduated on May 1 from UVU. We are so proud of them. Michael has a job teaching 4th grade next school year at a new elementary school is Alpine School District. Marti is interviewing and hoping for employment in Alpine or Nebo School Districts.
We traveled to Arizona to see our 13th grandchild - Lucas Craig Bachler. He is, of course, perfect!
My birthday came and went - don't worry - I'll have another one next year just for you! Thank you to all of my "kids" that called. Mother's Day, also, came and went - again, thank you to all of you that I talked with.
Bill and I will be traveling to Frisco, Colorado next month - we will be there a week. We are really looking forward to the trip.
School will be out in a few weeks so we will be doing some traveling to visit with family. Look out -we may be showing up on your doorstep - announced - of course.
