We have been fairly busy the last few weeks. We had a great time down in Great Falls a week ago Friday with Chad, Tiff and Mal. Mom and Mal went to buy fabric for the wedding and for the quilt mom is making for Mal and Cody. We ate at The Golden Corral for Chads' birthday, and the girls figured Chad ate about 1800 calories just in meat. Every time we go to that place it is bursting at the seams and this time was no exception. Hundreds of huge over weight people pigging out. We had fun.
We also stayed home to watch conference last weekend, and as always happens, our internet reception was like dial-up so we had to just listen to the audio. Oh well, one can sleep just as well either way. We had all the grandparents over for turkey dinner for Easter, and an excuse to open up our new table and use the new dinnerware.
We didn't find out that our next door neighbor Arvel Foote had died of a heart attack Saturday at noon until I heard about it at General Priesthood in Magrath Saturday night. We were very surprised to hear about it and Bev and I went down to visit Lynn and the Family after Chad and I got home from Priesthood. The funeral was just this last Friday and it was a very nice service.
We've also spent quite a bit of time lately getting Grandma Scott settled into the Good Sams in Magrath. Now that she has a permanent room we can do more to it and make it as nice for grandma as we can. Mom and I went to Lethbridge last Easter Saturday and bought Gramdma a new couch and a table and chairs, which look very nice in her room. Then yesterday I went to Lethbridge and bought Grandma some new curtains and bedding. Mom and I went and put up the curtains and etc after I got home. Now her room looks very nice and homey and I think Grandma is happy with it all.
The weather has actually been kinda miserable with all the wind lately. But last holiday Monday and yesterday, the weather was pretty nice in the afternoons. So we were able to take advantage of it and get a jump start on our yard work. I have power raked the two front lawns, roto-tilled all the flower gardens and the vegetable garden, Mom has cleaned out all the flower beds. And yesterday we re-transplanted all the flowers we took out of the flower beds we re-soiled last fall. Maybe we'll get this yard into pretty good shape for Mal and Cody's wedding.
The highlight of our weeks lately seems to be getting Steve's letters. I guess we're getting old. I hope you enjoy reading them when I forward them. Let me know any time you don't think it all forwarded properly. Yesterday Grandpa and Grandma Wilde told us they didn't know we were forwarding them to them.
Well, I hope this fills you in on the goings on at the home place. Bye for now.
