April is Flying by soooo fast

Well, we have started a pretty good recovery from the "Spring Colds" last week was not so good but this week is already so much better. We have had some really crazy and mixed up weather. You name we have had it and all within a days time. We spent yesterday in Coos Bay purchasing all the little "dinky" items we need to take to China with us . We will be leaving in two and a half weeks and I am so not ready. Scary. It seems so strange? funny? ironic? whatever that everything we had to buy here in the US has " made in China" on it. Why are we going to China ? I don't have to worry about bringing gifts back for anyone as everything is already here at Walmart, KMart, Macy's, Penney's etc. Crazy! The only thing I bought yesterday that was not made in China was a fold up walking cane and it was made in Taiwan. Oh, well I just plan on having a good time and seeing all the historic sights. Hopefully, we will also be able to meet some of the people. I will give a full report when we return. Wo gai zou le (I'd better be on my way" Zai jian (good-bye)

Here it is April 5th so soon.

I cannot believe that it is April already. Seems the slower I get the faster time seems to go by. This is April Conference weekend and this morning we watched and participated in the Solemn Assembly in the first session. We had the opportunity to sustain the new First Presidency of the Church. It did seem strange to not have our dear Pres. Hinckley, but it was also comforting to see Pres. Monson. We really enjoyed both sessions today and look forward for the Sunday sessions.



We are concerned about our sweet Carolyn. She is having a very difficult time right now trying to recover for the fall and the result of the surgery to repair her broken shoulder. Now she is dealing with embolisms in the lungs. and the doctors are considering placing a filter to prevent any clots from going into the heart. She is in our prayers constantly.

Well, I wanted to post a nice picture. I cannot find it now. I will try later
love to all
