Wonderful Summer

Dear Family,
It has been awhile for me making a post. Mom and I have had a great spring,and now summer.. It has been a little warm down here in St George, but for the most part it is"just right". I had a bout with some sickness for a couple of weeks,which in turn caused my blood to stay low 8-9, but my last blood draw was 11.3 top number bottom number 33.7, so it is going up.. I have a blood draw Wed. and Dr's appointmennt thr. so I hope it continues upward.. Stephen and his family have been staying with us since may, and it has for the most part been enjoyable.. It has been tough on them having to wait to find a job and get their own home.. But they have been blessed to do window cleaning, practice the things he needsto do for his up coming Boards he takes in Aug.. He is working a couple of day at Adrins clothes store and blessed to be doing okey.. Our grand kids are growing up so fast.. Katie, turned 7 on Mon.. She had a great birthday party at her other grandmas house where they got to go swiming..
Mom, went over to Co. to Jesse' ordination to represent her and I because my blood was still down, and my lungs weren't clear enough for me to go to that ealavation...I am greatful to Dave and Jenna for how enjoyable they made it for her, thanks!.. I want to thank all of you for the B-Q, grill, we have used it a few times for hamburgers and corn on the cobb.. it has been sooo good.. Come down and we can do it with you..
I would ask all of you to please stay close as brothers and sisters..families.. I cant even begin to share how empty a feeling you have when some in your family passes away and you can't visit with them anymore.. I have wished many times that I had spent more time with my siblings, even if it was a telephone call or letters etc.. I can't go back and change it or ever get that time back.. I hope that no one thinks I am finding fault, because I am not, I am sad that I, didn't make more effort before one died and I got to where it was hard for me to travel..
I love all of our family very very much and am sad I don't get up to see or help you more.. I hope everyone is well and happy. Have a great summer and stay coool! Love you Da
