Guess what? I did leave something behind.‏

Thanks to Jared, even LHT was impressed with my front teeth being without those terrible black stains. All of the other teeth feel fine, as well. Many thanks.

Thanks also for following my spirit whisperings and getting help with our family names. That would have been worth my paying my way. Then, on top of it all, I have the great good fortune of spending time with the grandchildren. 

I had such a good time with all of you. When I gave Grandpa his gift from Emma, he found it had a quarter inside. No wonder she was short--she gave us 50-cents of her money. Tell her thank you for us.

Give all of our little sweeties a hug and kiss.

Thank YOU for coming!  Sorry we were so stressed out.  Maybe next time will be  a little more relaxing.

Myrna wrote: "Some day, I'll learn." Yes, and if each of us really did that we would have gas in the car and tax in the pocket. Still we are blessed with tender mercies--like daughters who will mail us the other CD. Of course, keep the one meant for you!

Life is stress. I doubt that it will be better next time, just different. I did have a good time and am not certain why you are concerned about it. Any of the children I visit have stresses and I have my own here at home. You know about that, you get in on some of them.

Lots of love, M

Letter for Michael

Todd wrote: Yes.  Printed and in an envelope.  Thank you. I thought Amy had responded already.


Amy wrote: Yes, and thank you very much!  It was a very nice letter!

Also, thank you for the halloween package and treat $.  The kids always enjoy getting those!  And thank you for all the cd's!  Very much appreciated!

love,

Amy


Myrna wrote: You are welcome. However, after being with Kirsten and her family when they went to spend their dollars, I wonder if I should also include a dime each time so they have money for the tax. Kirsten had to dig up about 8-cents in tax for each of the dollars.

Love, M

Kenilworth Photos Found by Shawn

Hi,
I seem to remember hearing Aberdeen Mine in relation to the Kenilworth mining. What are Bull Hollow and Blue Gate?-Shawn


Myrna wrote: Aberdeen was what Kenilworth was called at first. It was then called Independent Coal and Coke but they cut the coke from the name because the coal didn't coke very well. Dad LH remembers hearing Bull Hollow and Blue Gate but he can't remember where those were.

Thanks,


Just wondered because I remembered I had found some pictures on Picasa from Kenilworth once, and when Todd sent the Nephi pictures I went and found the pictures again. They are all modern, and are from a guy’s ride on his four-wheeler up in that area. He just mentioned those two other names, and they were not familiar to me.

Here are his pics, I found them interesting as they reminded me of hiking in the area with Dad:

These are just two of the ones posted. A visit to the site is well worth it.

From Amy:  You are fine with just the dollars!  Don't worry about it....especially out here, we don't have food tax!  LOL!  Besides, I think the dentist in Colorado can afford a few cents over the dollars the kids get!  ;D

Thanks again!
