6/22/86 Leaving

6/22/86 Sunday

I guess I was wrong.  I couldn't hold back the tears and not cry in front of everybody!  When I went to Linda's house yesterday to drop off my address Joe was there.  I couldn't help it - the tears fell.  He was a great help but I only saw him for a couple of minutes. Then we said goodbye.  He promised he would write.  I sure hope he does!

The cry was good because I was fine saying goodbye to all the neighbors and Rob and Tammy.  We drove up to CW Post -- the longest hottest awfullest ride I've taken in awhile!  It was a bit less then fun.  When we finally got here I had a miserable tension headache and pressured ears and I had to cry again.

I said goodbye and have kind of withdrawn from all activity since then.  Hopefully tomorrow I'll feel better.  I did meet a few people though.

Oh yeah, another thing that happened yesterday, I took the car out and it died while I was at the meat store.  Overheated.  The day before we had gone to Great Adventure and the tire went flat. I was pretty upset about all of that!

I guess the next few weeks will be really tuff but I'm gonna try my darnedest to make this all work!

06/14/25 Pre-Yellowstone

Last year for Christmas I purchased a vacation to Yellowstone for the kids and us. The dates for the Yellowstone cabin were June 16-June 20. We decided to break the trip up a little and drive up the weekend before and drive home the weekend after. Also, because Katie got married, and Dallas has limited time off, he was unable to take his family on the trip. We stayed at his house and got some twin time in before we continued north.  Aspen and John moved to Pennsylvania and are in Utah for the summer. On our way up north we stopped at Becky's house to see them and their sweet new baby.  Erik recently got a new job so he was also not able to join us on our trip. Holly became our little girl again and traveled with us.  Holly and Millie My dad's been in the care center so we stopped by to visit him. He's being well cared for. He is struggling to put sentences together. We came and went to church with him at the care center. He's been asking for a really good pizza. So we w...

07/10/2025 Dad's Passing

Dad's stay at the care center ended up being 35 days. He had a care giver that really connected with him named Michael. Michael cared for him when he was living at home and then came out a couple of times to the care center before he died. He really appreciated those visits and lit up when Michael came to visit and help care for him. I'm thankful that I was able to see him the two weekends about two weeks before he died. He was still able to smile and sit and eat at that time. I'm so glad that Ruth and Becky were able to take the time and spend quite a bit of time with him the last couple of weeks before he died. His condition continued to deteriorate and it was not easy to see him that way and spend so much time there. But my sisters and Suzanne did what they could to make him comfortable at the end.  He was found dead in his bed on the morning of July 10. Rest in peace, Dad. I love you!

06/16/25-06/20/25 Yellowstone

We had a really great week on our Yellowstone trip. We stayed at a VRBO cabin in a remote cabin in Ashton, Idaho. It was just right for our group. We were able to go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Mesa Falls, the Yellowstone Playhouse, Lava Hot Springs Pools and Slides.  We drove lots, played games, did puzzles, roasted hot dogs, made s'mores, enjoyed picnic lunches, ice cream at the frost top, dinners together made by each lil family and so much more.  Loved it! (There are lots more pictures in our shared Yellowstone google album. Also, these pictures are not in order of happening. )
