HELP!!!!!

Ok gang! Randy and Leisa are redoing one of the rooms in their house and they gave me 2 boxes of photos that they had taken out of Mom's old house when we started looking through the stuff in the basement. Anyway----WHAT DO I DO WITH THE PHOTOS???????? Do you guys want me to separate them out and give you the ones of you and your kids and grandkids???????????????? Right now they're taking up my bedroom and it's full with too much junk and I WANT TO GET RID OF IT! What's the best way to preserve them? There are some great family shots and I really hate to just dump them! LET ME KNOW! Thanks to all of you who sent me photos! I got some very cute shots and will use them. For the rest of you--YA GET WHAT YA GET!!! I failed to recognize a birthday on the 6th of Oct.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN!!!!!

HOWDY!!!!

It's been awhile since I last posted anything. The reason is because a couple of weeks ago I opened an email sent, supposedly, by Neil that had No Subject and what I got was a lot of worms. Quickly, my computer reacted and I was sure it was toast, however, I didn't which amazes me! I really love/hate computers. I just wish I knew more. Also, I'm trying to learn Facebook---and that is a totally different animal to me! I'm the new secretary in the YWMIA and that's one of the ways the leaders use to communicate with the girls! Hopefully some day I'll get it right!
Last Thursday Rae Ann and Brent, Me,Doug and Candis, Neil and Tamara and Randy and Leisa got together at Maddox and had dinner. Also there were: BJ, Bailey, Shareesa and Chace and Baylor, Anna and Gavan! We had a wonderful time/dinner! It was so fun to catch up! Neil and Tamara are out here for a couple of weeks. It was so fun to get together! I'll put some photos at the end of this that Gavan took. Thanks again to Neil and Tamara for the wonderful dinner!
Ma is doing great. When we went to Maddox, she had to climb 3 steps and she did it!!! She says she's getting slower, but at 86 she's still doing good! She was very pleased that we could all get together! Well everyone keep your socks up! Well, I just went to get the photos that Gavan took and I can't find them! Oh well! I'll keep looking! Got 'em!!!

HELLO!!!!

Not much new to report! I went to Providence to visit Ma yesterday. I took Gavan with me. Ma was all excited because she was to be in the River Heights parade. I don't know what they were celebrating, but Josie, Program Director for the Center, arranged for the Center's van to be in the parade and Mom and her friend Lorraine got to sit in the van and throw candy out of the window. The bus driver and his wife and kids and Josie and her kids and Gavan went along as well. I took pictures of it, but they didn't turn out! It was quite a sight but lots of fun for Mom and Lorraine! Last Thursday Mom had an eye appointment with an eye specialist. He found a cyst growing on the optical nerve in her left eye. He did an "in-office" procedure and removed the cyst, so hopefully Mom will be able to see better. She had been saying that she couldn't see very well, so it was a blessing that she had that appointment!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALLISON!!!!

WE WISH YOU THE VERY BEST!!!!!

Well my dears, that's all the news that I know of! Be safe and have a great week!

THIS IS NEW!!!!!

They have changed the format on this so I'm not too sure what to do! I was just barely getting used to the old one! Oh well! I hope everyone came through the week healthy and happy! I went up to Mom's yesterday. She is fine. We looked through some very old photos! They were quite interesting! I'm going to make a slide/movie show with them and, if you're nice, I'll give you a copy. A while back I mailed everyone a plea for new pictures of  everyone!!! So far I have received zilch,nada,zero, nothing!!!! There is still time to get them to me. Remember my email is mmurdie@allwest.net. The critical ones are of the great grandchildren because they change so rapidly! Any photos would be greatly appreciated!!!! Not much news to report. Randy just got back from Chile. He said it was nice and he didn't feel unsafe at all. He said the weather was nice. They're just going into spring. Anna is having a blast!! She loves her charter high school and Gavan says he likes being in the 5th grade. I guess BJ and Char and William have moved to Logan. Right now they're living with Char's parents. Doug said that Tobin and Allison are Ok and weathered the hurricane. They even had a couple in their ward who were evacuated at their house while the storm was going on! Can you believe it, Paige is 21!!!! Oh well, time does tend to go on! Well, that's all I can think of--REMEMBER PHOTOS,EVERYONE!!!! Be good and safe!!!!

GUESS WHAT I FOUND!!!!

Another week has gone by. I think everyone is in school or getting ready for school. Mom is beginning her annual job of calendaring and I just realized that August is over. It seems funny that this summer has gone so fast. I think it's because we didn't start summer until the end of June! I have another picture to share!

I found this going through some old photos! What a gang!!! Also it's HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAIGE!

She's changed a tad but she's still as cute as a button!!! HAPPY 21ST

IT'S BEEN A WHILE!!!

It's been awhile since I wrote, so I guess I'll sit down and write a few lines. Since I last wrote a couple of things have happened: 1. Tam and I went to see the Martin Harris Pagent in Clarkston 2) I was called to be an assistant temple coordinator.
We saw the Martin Harris Pagent and I wasn't too thrilled with it. I don't know why, probably just me. It's the first time I had been to see it. We stayed overnight in Logan at the Best Western Weston motel. That was really nice! Doug and Candis got us the room! The next morning we got up and ate breakfast at Angies and then decided to go see the movie, "The 17 Miracles." WOW!!!!! That was so awesome! Of course I cried all the way through it, but what a great film. If you haven't seen it---GO!!!! Then a week ago one of the Salt Lake Temple Matrons called me to be a shift assistant coordinator. I was shocked because I've only been working at the temple for a little over a year. I thought you would have at least 5 or 6 years under your belt before they had you do anything like that!
School is about to start for everyone.  I can't believe the summer has gone so fast! I think it's because we had such a short one. Half of June was spent with snow on the ground!! Yes folks, SNOW!!!!
By the way, today in Sunday School, Brother Mark Tuttle said he met my brother and knowing me was surprised that he was a nice fellow! I asked if he was alive and well, and he said yes! 
Well, I can't think of anything else! Oh---this year, because of budget cuts, we're giving calendars to the kids and grandkids only! It's amazing how much all the stuff costs, but at least every grandkid and their family and kid will receive a calendar! Oh well! Be good and keep your socks up!

TIME IS PASSING!

Dear Everyone!  I don't know if you received the news yet, but Aunt Jodie, Uncle Doug Wadsworth's wife, passed away last night in Logan. She was in a care center and everyone but Steve was with her when she passed away! Pat Wadsworth emailed me the news and said, "Just imagine the reunion going on the other side!" She was 98 years old! I am sure she is estatic and so is Uncle Doug! The funeral is not definitely set yet, but will be sometime this week.
It's a very small world. After the news about Neil's calling broke Tamara called me and told me that a Brother Tuttle from church headquarters was going to go and train Neil and others. Well, it turns out that Brother Mark Tuttle is in my ward. He's a neat guy!!!! I told him to say hello to Neil from me! I haven't talked to Rae Ann lately so I assume all of her family is doing great! Randy and Leisa's Chinese visitors will be leaving this Wednesday! I'll bet the girls had a real good time!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON AUGUST 9TH, TO:

BAILEY MCMURDIE

MARY ALVAREZ

Well hope all is well with everyone! By the way, I told Mom about Neil and Tamara coming the last of Sept. for a couple of weeks, so plan on getting together at some point during their visit! Be good and keep your socks up!!!!
