Update from Mom and Dad,
   Not a whole lot of news here.  The weather is warming up and everyone is out working in their yards.  Aaron has been working hard in our yard and the lawn is looking great.  He's been fixing sprinklers, fertilizing, fixiing dead spots and moss spots in the lawn, trimming.  This week he is getting started on the deck.  Dad and I have so appreciated his help and hard work.  The last couple of weeks my side effects have gotten the better of me and he has been taking care of me and the housework. Thanks Aaron!! He has started work on his script and the planning of other aspects of the movie.  Busy busy guy.
    Dad has been working hard.  Blue Chip got a huge order in from Costco or Walmart (I can't remember which) and production had to kick in to high gear to fill the order.  He's going golfing this week with the company president, the president from Daily Bread and a few others.  I'm glad he's getting out in the sunshine.
   I'm feeling much better and have most of my strength back.  Started to do a little sewing for myself.  It's wonderful to be at my sewing machine again.  I have four quilts that need to be sewn and tied for the Humanitarian Center so I will be sewing on those too.  I am looking forward to getting out in the flower beds this week and weeding and hopefully doing some planting too.  My lilac bush I planted last year that was supposed to be dark purple blossoms with a white center bloomed this year--the blossoms were white.  I was so mad. Oh well...  Had my three month check up and numbers are all good.  It has been 16 years this month since I was diagnosed with Cancer.  CELEBRATION!!!!! I am thankful for everyday--even the bad ones. I am thankful to have been able to continue to be a part of my children's and grandchildren's lives and to have my time with dad.  Everyday is a gift to me.  I love you all so much and I hope that I make that very clear to you.
My greatest joy and accomplishment in this life is my family (and that includes dad).
  Elise came home for Memorial Day weekend.  It was so nice to have her smiling face and laughter in the house.  We miss her so much.  Melissa and the kids are coming in town this friday for a week (not long enough!) so we have that to look forward to.  Stephanie Leishman Gardner will be in town this weekend.  Noelle and Stephanie are meeting Heidi and I in Springville for lunch .  I am looking forward to seeing the girls and catching up on their family's.
    I don't know about anybody else but I am loving this blog and the empty dish blog.  thanks for setting these blogs up and thanks for contributing! Keep the updates coming.
