Thanksgiving Point/ CANCER SUCKS

On the last Tuesday of August, Jenny and I took Gayle to Thanksgiving Point on Two Buck Tuesday. We rented a golf cart ($25.00 for 1 1/2 hours) so Gayle didn't have to walk. You see, Gayle is suffering from last stages of colon cancer. I just enjoyed watching Gayle with Brady, and enjoying the surroundings. It was just a great day for us all. Gayle has suffered from cancer for six years now, and things are slowing down, as the cancer has spread to her lungs. She never complains and just keeps on going. I am not so sure I would be that brave! We love you Gayle!

REMEMBERING 9/11

Today is another anniversary of the terror of that terrible day. It has now been seven years, and nobody forgets where they were on that day. Joel and I were leaving the Young Herb Living Farm in Mona, Utah, where we had camped over night with a wagon train. When we got into the truck, we turned on KSL radio and heard about the first hit on New York. Then the news kept getting worse and worse...........What an unbelievable thing! I will never forget that day for the rest of my life.
