Family is Everything…
We started Monday morning
with nothing scheduled.
We had supper with the family...
breakfast for...
...supper.
Waffles, bacon and eggs. Yum!
We read Moses, chapter 5, which
is our Institute lesson for tomorrow.

Family is Everything…
Chantal came from home health
to help Walt this morning.
Max is going to the groomers today,
so here is the "before" photo.
Julie takes Rigdon to Pre-School
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
He is learning his ABC's, different colors,
and how to count, plus lots of
other things.
We have Institute on Tuesday mornings.
MOSES
5
warns us about how
much Satan tries to
destroy our agency to
choose to do
what is right.
Our two Institute teachers are:
Sue Spencer (on the left) conducted today.
Betsy Jones was the teacher today.
They are both excellent teachers.

We love learning from the chapters of Moses

in The Pearl of Great Price.
From there we went right over to
ride the bikes at the club house.
We exercised for 35 minutes today.
The snow is starting to melt.
We appreciated that they had the snow
shoveled from the ramp on the left side
of the entrance to the exercise rooms.
We got the car washed, filled the car with gas,
then did some shopping at Smith's.
One prescription for Walt for 90 days was
going to cost $519.00, so we said we
wouldn't be getting that today.
When we got back Max was home
from the groomers...so here
is the "after" photo.
He's all soft and fluffy again.
Walt wanted to start marking all the scripture
about the Savior, but we only had a yellow highlighter
and he wants a different color than all his other
yellow highlights throughout his Standard Works.
So we'll look for another color highlighter tomorrow.
We got to watch Maddie make "slime" for
her classmates Valentines.
She labeled the little containers:
"Happy Valen-slime's Day from Maddie."
When Grampa asked her what the kids
do with slime, she said: "They just
stretch it, pull on it, and play with it."
We were working on a Happy Birthday card
for Julie to give her before she leaves tomorrow
with Jacee's BYU Youth Ballroom team to
compete in California.

We start our day by checking our
e-mail plus I check face book.
We had lunch at Denny's.
My hamburger was the most like a
yummy homemade hamburger
that I 've ever had in a restaurant.

Walt had 55+ Country Fried Steak...
We were glad to be inside and not
outside in the storm.
We had started out for Walt'd doctor

had turned back when it go too scary
to drive in the wind, rain, and snow.

We love being together.
Here's the view from our front window.
Gary came over for our Wednesday
night movie together.
For February we're watching love stories.
We chose "Wuthering Heights" tonight.
Gary said it's the most tragic movie he
has ever seen in his whole life!
with Laurence Olivier Merle Oberon David Niven
Wuthering Heights is a 1939 American film directed by William Wyler and produced by Samuel Goldwyn. It is based on the novel, Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. The film depicts only sixteen of the novel's thirty-four chapters, eliminating the second generation of characters. The film won the 1939 New York Film Critics Award for Best Film. It earned nominations for eight Academy Awards,[3] including for Best Picture and Best Actor in what many consider Hollywood's greatest single year.
The 1940 Academy Award for Best Cinematography, black-and-white category, was awarded to Gregg Toland for his work. Nominated for original score (but losing to The Wizard of Oz) was the prolific film composer,
In 2007, Wuthering Heights was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
Julie and Jacee left at 9:30 tonight for
loading onto the bus that left
BYU at 11pm for California where
three of the youth BYU Ballroom teams
are competing at the California Classic
Dancesport Ballroom Competitions.
They will be back Sunday.
Gary tried to cheer up Max who is...
.. ...always sad when Julie is gone.
The weather forecast...
... doesn't sound good for the
next few days.

John made heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast.

We drove to American Fork to our
new Utah dermatologist.
He's good, but then before
we've had the two top dermatologists
in the world, so no one will ever
meet their excellence!
Dr. Gooddell said this rash could
be from venous insufficiency for which
he prescribed Triamcinolone 0.1% Ointment.
We did 45 minutes on the bicycle today.
We appreciate this well-equipped exercise room.
We, of course, wore red for
this Valentine's Day.
John showed Riggy how
to use the paints thathad been in his pre-school
Valentine box.
We've had a great Valentine's Day together.
Our 58th one since we've been married.
Our love is deeper and stronger for
each other every passing day.
"How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways...
I love you to the breadth...
(I'll have to look the rest
of this Elizabeth Barrett Browning poem up.)
How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

Family is Everything…
Remembering Walt's fun and feisty big sister
Bonnie today...on her 89th birthday remembrance.
Her brothers and sons and nephews loved
to throw her in the river.
Does anyone have that photo of her in the
1920's swim suit she and Aunt Thelma
made special for her to be thrown
in the river that one summer?
Kevin sent this photo of his Mom, Bonnie,
with her sister Phyllis.
Left is Bonnie, Right is Phyllis.
Bonnie was two years older than Phyllis
He said this is the only digital photo
he has of his Mom.
We need to scan some of
our photographs into the computer.
We asked John yesterday where there
was a restaurant that had pie.
He didn't know of any.
Then this morning where his company
had a breakfast meeting at Dee's on 4500 South, SLC,
they had pie, so he brought us an apple pie home.
What a nice guy!
especially after I added a
little cinnamon and nutmeg.
This happy foursome went
skiing today.
John, Jackson, Maddie, and Riggy.
exercise bicycle today.
Delicioius!

Steve and Natalie are a great couple.
We watched Part 1 of the 1979

Too tired to look up anymore about it.
