Dear Myrna, Did you get a letter from BYU about your grandfather being a Mexican Border Volunteer. I took so long getting Richard's rememberances of the war ready to send - and just sat on it for so long - and finally got it mailed last week. I had Richard's remembrances and pictures and Claude's and Raymond's pictures and the pages you and Richard signed giving them to BYU. Anyway - Richard got a letter from them which I will enclose. I hope you can read it. Donnette
Hi, folks, hope all is well. For information- I have been having a very difficult time receiving e-mails from the Stake, with my calling, as any number of other persons sending e-mails with attachments/picutres etc. to me locks others out of coming up. I spend upwards of 2-3 hours pulling them up so I can get the ones from the Stake. As of today I have changed my e-mail address-this will be used only by the Stake and Nanci, and will have no other e-mail address for other information. Hope all is well. Look forward to having you come up for the Joseph Smith program in an other week. Love Helen

Hello, everyone! My sister, Diane, wrote this recipe for me, it sounds like another day in my life that I wouldn't trade for anything!
Hope you get as big of a kick out of it as I did! And Merry Christmas! Love, Kim
*!@*&^%!!+%$ (or cookies for the homeroom teacher)* by Diane
1. Preheat oven to 350. Check to be sure there are no rubber balls or plastic rubber-tired back hoes lurking on the shelves.
2. Remove Cassie's homework and Kayla's drawings and Robbie's tractors from table. Grease pan. Get Robbie down from the counter. Wipe up the spilled pop from when Kayla tripped over Robbie's John Deere. Crack nuts.
3. Measure 2 cups flour. Remove Robbie's hands from the flour. Wash flour off him. Re-measure flour.
4. Crack more nuts to replace those that Kayla ate. Put flour, baking powder, and salt in sifter. Get dust pan and brush up pieces of bowl that Cassie knocked on the floor. Get another bowl.
5. Answer the doorbell. Return to kitchen. Remove Robbie's hands from the bowl again. Wash Robbie. The phone is ringing. It is Beth. Answer the phone. Talk for 38 minutes. Return to kitchen.
6. Remove 1/2-inch salt from the greased pan. Look for Robbie. Grease another pan. The phone is ringing. It is Jennie. Answer phone. Talk for 23 minutes. Return to kitchen and find Robbie.
7. Take up greased pan and remove layer of nut shells in it. Head for Robbie who dodges your reach, once again knocking the bowl off the table.
8. Wash the kitchen floor, table, walls, and dishes. Cassie says she needs to leave for some kinda practice at the Junior High. She has nothing to wear. Wipe wet hands on paper towel. Step on misplaced nut shell and cut toe open. Wipe blood from toe. The phone is ringing. It is Dad. Answer phone. Explain why you don't have the cookies done for the Christmas play for Kayla's school. Water is coming from the bathroom. Robbie has flushed a 6" plastic boat down the toilet. Kayla is frantic. Cassie wants new pants.
9. Timer has been set. Kayla said it sounds cool when it goes off. Nothing is inside the oven but wasted energy but the oven is an exact 350 degrees and is waiting, waiting, waiting for something to bake.
10. Phone is ringing. It is Cassie's teacher. He wants her at the school in 7 minutes.
11. Take Robbie from the table. Remove 4 hot wheels cars from the "road" in the bowl. Cassie still doesn't have anything to wear. Hand mop to Kayla. Show her how to remove toilet water from hallway and kitchen before it gets to the front room carpet.
12. Phone is ringing. It is Kayla's teacher. She wants the cookies you promised to have at the school in 12 minutes.
13. Undress Robbie. He is wet from head to toe after water skiing in the hallway. 14. Dress Robbie.
15. Cookies? What cookies?
Myrna: She forgot the last few steps. 16. Stop to get cookies at the bakery where you should have started in the first place.
17. Be late and have teacher yell at you.
18. Cassie and Kayla are in tears and Robbie is covered in sugar.
19. Smile bravely. Tell everybody you can't share the cookie recipe because it is a "family secret."
20. Go home and cry.
Love, M
Hi Just wanted to drop you all a line wishing you all A Very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year. This picture I had taken on 12-11-05 is of my 3 basenji's (Zak is on santa's right,then Jenna, and Dannii) and I with Santa. This is the first time EVER that I had done this. Yep, that's grey hair up in front.....NOT blonde! :>( Love Mom, Sis, Marti
The night of Alyssa's performance in the Nutcracker at Thanksgiving Point was terrible. We picked Siovhan up at her apartment about 5 p.m. We made it to the on-ramp by UVSC at 5:15. We made it to Thanksgiving Point at 7:20 p.m. Honest! Love, The storm of December 2005 was a damaging winter storm with snow-packed and slick roads wreaked havoc. Diverse weather took many parts of Utah by surprise. In Utah County, sudden snow caught drivers and the Utah Highway Patrol off guard. It was bumper to bumper traffic on a snow-packed freeway. Julie was driving and I was having anxity. We finally decided we might be quicker if we left the freeway and drove to Thanksgiving Point on city streets. Thank goodness we arrived safely and so did AnnMarie, Alyssa and Megan. The Nutcracker was wonderful and Alyssa did an excellent job. When we left to go home, it had stopped snowing and we were able to drop Siovhan off at her apartment and travel home in safety. It was much easier going home than it had been going to Alyssa's program.

The Lord works his plan and its good he knows the scheme of things. For some reason when you send me the pictures I can open the E-Mail but not the pictures. Must not be ment to see the little gal. Thanks for being you. Love Garth.
Is there something that I can do?
If I put $20 in an envelope and send it to you, would you have Alyce order flowers from Leonard and I? I would appreciate it. I am sure that Aunt Dorothy is suffering. We can empathize with her. Are you OK? I love you! Myrna
