David's Home in Gunnison

David's home phone number is: 1-970-648-4405. I have his work cell phone number at home but I did not bring it with me. Dad doesn't have it in his cell phone memory. Do any of you have it? Well, of course, David does but I am not certain he will see this. Eric would like to make a birthday call to David and would like his number.

David and family are moving today and Monday. After today, he should be in his new rental home and I don't know how soon they will transfer the telephone. I am certain the number will be the same but I am not certain how long it will take.

The new rental is very nice. They are not on a golf course and next door to a river, but are in the middle of the town, just about six blocks from David's work and close to the kids' school. It has four bedrooms--two upstairs and two downstairs. There is a nice living room upstairs and a great family room downstairs. It looks like the perfect house to live in until they can buy their own home.

The real estate in Gunnison is very high-priced. Think of Park City with a college. Gunnison is the home of Western Colorado University and the homes are usually rented by students. That means that David's house could have been rented to as many as eight students. They were lucky to get the house for what they are going to pay in monthly rental. It has a fenced backyard and they can have their dog back. Koda will like that. I don't think we are quite lively enough for him, though we have learned to love him and will miss him. I will miss my exercise of running back and forth playing soccer with him.

Love, M

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day!!!  I know I have the best mom in the world cause she's taking care of my kids (including two boys who like to "take care of business" simultaneously for a grandpa who loves diapers)!!!! :)

I love you all!

Thank you!

I am here in Colorado Springs with my youngest daughter's four young children. The baby is only one-year old. She and her husband are in Hawaii for 12 days (nine left). It is interesting. I do know that, much as I love them, I am just not as young as I once was. But it is fun. The oldest, who is eight, made me pancakes from scratch and a fruit smoothie this morning. My husband helped her a bit but she was really proud of herself. I was also proud of her. 

I hope you had a wonderful day. You certainly deserve it. Kirsten's Relief Society served all the mother's breakfast during R.S. meeting today. They made crepes for all. We ate and had our lesson. I have never heard of that before. Of course, the baby ate most of mine but it kept him happy and quiet.

Love, M

Jason is in the New Era

AnnMarie, would you, please, buy a New Era for Dad and I? Jason's photo is in the May issue on page 21. There are also a couple of quotes from him. Dad had me stop taking the New Era and just take the Friend and the Ensign. Now I regret listening to him. However, I would appreciate your buying the issue at Deseret Book or Seagull Book or the Distribution Center--whichever is the easiest. I will pay you back when I get home. Thanks in advance.

Things are going well here at Kirsten and Jared's. At least, so far, the kids are healthy and no one has managed to kill themselves. That is the thing that grandparents always worry about. You know, you have nightmares that some one of the grandchildren will decide to be Superman and jump from the tallest building.

Love, M
