We're still in Ogden, UT

We just got home from watching our son, Joel, make the final few yards in a 26.2 mile marathon run in Ogden. We were so proud of him. He had some cramping that slowed him down a bit, but he kept on running. As he is recoving from the run, he is planning the next one.

We have really been busy since we arrived two weeks ago. Willard waxed our motorhome, cleaned the roof and put rubber protectant on it, serviced the generator (filters & oil), put air pressure extenders on the tires, bought a air pressure hose to air up the tires, and sanitized the water tank.

We put together a storage unit in Joey's back yard for the snow blower, lawn mower, bicycles, tiller, etc.

We also bought a Comfortaire bed and gave our other mattress to Joey and Beth.

Bill and Karen came down from South Jordan and we took them to the Hot Springs in Honeyville. We stopped at KFC and got lunch to eat when we got there. After a long soak in the hot mineral water, we treated ourselves to Shakes before shopping at Smith & Edwards. It was a wonderful day. They are now in Montana at their son's house.

Willard and I entertained at the assisted living center here in South Ogden. They really seemed to enjoy our music and invited us back. We'll probably play for them again in September on our way back through, as we head for Arizona for the winter.

Willard's brother, Elvin, passed away last week. We did not attend the funeral which was held in Texas City, Texas. Robbie, our oldest son who lives in Austin, represented our family. We are now in the process of selling the house he lived in. I inherited it from my Mother years ago and he was buying it from us. We plan on selling it, keeping the balance he owed us, then give the equity to his children. I'll just be glad when it is sold.

The weather is just beautiful here. Warm days and cool nights. I just love this time of year in Utah. I also like the fall. We hope to take our boat up to Pine View for some fishing and boating. Willard is planning on golfing some while here. Dan is planning on coming down Memorial Day weekend, then we will be on our way to embrace another journey.
