Friday. Its been a busy 3 days and lots of sore leg muscles. On Wednesday I had to take Ruthie to the University Hospital and we had to be there at 7am. I got up at 5am. After the check-in and all the details taken care of she was taken to surgery at 9am. She had to have a tumor on her pituatory glad removed. The process is to go up through the nasal passage into the frontal part of her brain to get to the gland. I went and had breakfast and then sat around in the waiting room for hours. After lunch and more waiting she was finally in NCCU and awake, that was about 2pm. After talking to her for a few minutes I made the long trek back to the parking garage. After looking on all 4 levels of the garage and not finding my car I gave up and asked for help. Security came and we drove around the garage for a while looking for where I parked. It was there, just not where I thought I had parked it. By then it was 3pm and I was very tired and felt very dumb. Ruthie is doing fine and will probably be let out on Sunday.
The Temple workers who live in the Draper TEmple area and have been called to work in that TEmple have been leaving the Jordan River TEmple and it sure is sad to know that some of the people I have gotten to know are gone and some will leave soon.
I got the baptisms done for 3 men and 3 women from my father's side of the family done yesterday and now will get the other ordinances done.
Just a beginning, but feels good.
We have finally seen our snow melt and the sun has been shining today. The only snow left is on the shady parts of the yards. I am so glad to see it go.
I would love to have the time and money to just take off and make a long trip to visit all of you one after another, but not to be, haven't won any jackpots or lotteries lately. But know that if I could I would make the trip, I miss all of you and send my love to you.
Love gma

Gloria Singleton called last night and asked if I could give her a ride to Church this morning. I did and I think she is getting more comfortable with attending. There are a lot of people she doesn't know but still many that she does know. My primary class was a little better today, could it be that the 3 kids that wiggle and interrupt me weren't there? could be. And they remember things from past lessons so I must be getting some information to them.
Another storm front is here but not snow yet in the valley, could come in the next day or so.
Jeremy's kids kept me company this afternoon while he was downstairs trying to get some school work done. Those two have quite a relationship and play pretty good together.

Going to check into two jobs tomrrow. One is with the U.S. Census and the other is a small insurance office dealing with Senior Citizens and their health insurance. Don't know about that one, but will give it a try.

Big brother, Kirt has a birthday coming up on Tuesday, so all you siblings remember to give him a birthday greeting. If you don't know how old he will be, figure it out, he was born in 1961.

Love to all of you, gma
