Rick and I are just returning from spending a week in Myrtle Beach with his brothers for the 1st 4 days and then with Kayla, Jeff and boys for 2 days. The weather in Myrtle Beach was rainy, windy and chilly so we didn't get to do much outside but he was able to watch some home videos of his parents of some 20-30 years ago and the boys were able to remember some great times together growing up. It was so fun to hear them talk about their childhood...I invisioned my boys and Sis doing the same things some years from now. I hope you all will get together when you are in your 60's and 70's and talk about the good old days and all the fun things you did as kids. I hope you won't just remember the bad. Everyone has some bad, but I notice that Rick and his brothers mainly just think of the good and what great parents they had. We so enjoyed being with Jeff and Kayla...they have gotten to move into a nice home and they are fixing it up really cute. We did some fun things together and were there to celebrate McCoy's 5th birthday. He thinks that is why Grandma and Grandpa came to town. Well, I am glad he thinks that. We got to meet some of their friends and they really have some neat friends. No worries about lack of friends in SC. Really good people. We got up at 1am Ut time to make all of our flights today so I am feeling ugh right now...It will take time to readjust... I don't know anything about a friend of Connley's passing away...what happened? I am so sorry and hope Connley is ok along with the family. What a tragedy for sure. Can't wait for y'all (Kayla gave me permission to talk southern) to see the fabulous job Angie is doing with Rick's buffalo. It is looking so "out of this world". I cannot believe the talent she has!!!! I am following McKenna's blog weekly. I do need her address though so I can drop her a line. I do better at writing. And I think that is what we are supposed to be doing?? Sis, you cannot be doing the Marathon while we are in Hawaii...I simply cannot surprise you like I did the last time. Then you will be disappointed. Yes, KSL did a great program on Hawaii. Got Rick and I even more excited. Time will go fast. They hired Mike Wood to fill my position. I will spend the next couple of months orienting him and then I am done. 46 years and then I am gone............yiles, scary not to have a job. Love to all and have a great week. Mom
