Babysit

Would you guys be up/available for flying here to stay with the kids next month?  Jared has a conference in San Diego and he'd like me to go with him.  He leaves the 15th and is back on Saturday or Sunday (18th/19th).  We'd take Natalie with us, of course.  No pressure if you can't; there's a girl in our ward who can and needs the cash for her wedding, but I thought I'd check with you first.

Flowers for Merlene

I'm sorry that I did not think about calling the florist last night when we got home. I don't know what my problem is. I guess I am just nuts.

Kirsten wrote: I'm not sure everyone wanted to go in.  I had only heard positives on my email from Todd and  Ams.  We can do more than $10, if that is the case.  I was planning on $15-$20.

Myrna wrote: Julie and David told me in person. Shawn called and is thinking of coming to the funeral and he will go in. Eric is the only one I haven't heard from. Did you send it to Amy? His email is down. He does get text messages but I'll be hanged if I can figure out how to do those on my "new" phone (it is not actually new anymore but I still can't figure it out).

Kirsten wrote: Just talked to mom and dad.  They are ordering some from Nephi Floral in the morning and having it come from all of us; if any of you want to add to the pot, let mom and dad know.  I know we will sure miss her!  

Kirsten wrote: Did not send to Amy.  I will send you the moola.  Thanks for ordering on behalf of us all.  Wish I could be there to pay my respects.

Myrna wrote: We have debated back and forth about whether we should do money in a card or give flowers. Flowers look beautiful at the funeral and on the grave but it is cold here and they are sure to freeze in a day or two. I think the family is all well enough off that money is not an issue. I have, from time to time, paid for the meat for a funeral so the family did not have to. We have missed the one viewing because we cannot order flowers here on Sunday and it was this evening. However, we could have flowers there for the viewing and the funeral in the morning.

Shawn: Count me in. 

Cahoots

Gordon Smith wrote: I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.   I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.   I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.   I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.   I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.   I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.   Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.   One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!   I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in. It's an age thing.

PLEASE DO YOUR PART!
Today is one of the many National Mental Health Days throughout the year. You can do your bit by remembering to send an e-mail to at least one unstable person. My job is done!   Life is too short for negative drama & petty things. So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly! From one unstable person to another...

I hope everyone is happy in your head - we're all doing pretty good in mine!
