Rosemary & Thyme was a British television series that starred Felicity Kendal and Pam Ferris as gardening detectives Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme. The show began on ITV in 2003, and the third series ended in early 2006. On 12 May 2006, ITV announced that the third series was the last. The show is a mixture of gardening and detective investigation as the green-thumbed sleuths delve into the world of crime, solving the various mysteries that happen to follow them around the country — and in other
countries as well.

Princpal, Turnbridge or whatever her name is. Also, she is Aunt Marge in Harry Potter.

to keep you current on Dons' recovery‏

Hi, folks, to be sure you enjoyed your surpize visit from Melanie. Hope all is well. Just want to let you know I had a really long visit with Don by phone on Saturday past. He has been down for the last two weeks, with his leg, the last one operated on, elevated and taking a course of antibiotics for a very serious infection covering quite an area in his leg. Jon had brought him down to see the Doctor who did the surgery as they thought he had more blood clots. They did two ultrasounds on the leg, and found no clots, but the wide spread infection. Dr. Stone, in Logan, Nathans' father in law is Dons' internist, he has been over three nights after work to check to be sure what is going on. He told Don it was a blessing it was seen and treated as soon as it was or " he could have lost his leg or possibly his life." Don was having alot of pain, which he said is subsiding, also the leg isn't as swollen and red. Don sees Dr. Stone again this week- he says he wants Don to start walking, not as much as he had been doing, but to start exercising his leg so the muscles won't atrophy. Our bodies surely are a wonderment are they not?  Hope all is well, and that your shoulder is doing better, Hon. Have a good week. Love Helen 

Knee

Kimberly: I am okay. I have an infection in my knee (what you all suspected). I am on 2 antibiotics, one of which can turn my tears, among other things, red. It should be improved within 48 hrs, if not I will have to do IV antibiotics. The other knee has tendonitis.

Love,
Kimberly

Myrna: Did the doctor say that it was septicemia or a septic joint? Julie had septicemia when she stepped on a barn nail. It is an infection in which large amounts of bacteria are present in the blood. In the "old" days it was commonly referred to as blood poisoning. Do just what the doctor said so that it doesn't get worse.
Love, M
Kimberly: This is what it sounds like to me, Cellulitis. I think I am doing okay, it's not bright red, however tonight it is itchy and it is red below the line I drew. Not a deep red, but a light red. Shawn says to look at again tomorrow. There is still some heat.
Myrna: I sent you a medical note about it. Keep taking care of it so that you get better fast. Should you be OK for the hike? Love, M

July 21st (Family party)

Hi Aunt Myrna, this is Nanci! How are you? I'm looking forward to seeing you in July!


I promised my mother I would send out evites to everyone and of course, time has gotten away from me!!!


I would like to ask a couple favors of you. I have the evite pretty much ready to go but I still need Uncle Don's email and Aunt Eva and Cousin Jim's email. Do you have thoses and if so, would you please forward them to me? Oh, and Linda and Michael's.


Second favor, I will get these out this week but would you please email your family and remind them we are doing this party at the same place on Saturday, July 21st! and to mark their calendars!!! We are going to make this one the best party ever! I'm looking into renting a jolly jump for the kids. I have to check with the church re liability issues.


I can't wait to see you and the family! I do hope all is well with you guys. Please give Uncle Tim my love and let him know I have him in my prayers regarding his upcoming surgery.


Have a wonderful week and thanks in advance for your assistance!


xoxo

Mom, I see Dad's cousin Tammie all of the time in Shopko here. She keeps wanting to have a get together of some sort. She has invited me to a few of her concerts but I have not been able to go. She has recently tried to set up a date when we could go to dinner, but I asked her to wait until we see how Dad's surgery goes. She really wants to connect with her extended family for many reasons. I wonder if it would be ok with Auntie if I invited her to the Trauntvein Christmas Party in July. I know she would be thrilled. Let me know what you think.

From Donnette Smith--Have a Good Day!

I was just watching the News at Noon where they were talking about the
extra highway patrolmen out watching for infractions this holiday. And I
remembered how a young lady started our Relief Society lesson yesterday.
She had two volunteers try standing about 4 feet from a table in front of
the room and try throwing bean bags into a bucket. One just barely got
all three to fall in. The other one joked and threw them just off to one
side. Then the teacher had them put on a pair of goggles that simulate
how we see when drunk (her husband is a city policeman), and then neither
one could get anywhere near throwing them in the bucket. It was hilarious
- but sobering.

To change the subject. This morning I was looking over a new site the
Family History Library is testing - with newly indexed data bases. The
instructions told me to check some of the different things - including
the Utah Death indexes. So I chose Lynnville Bonham Smith - youngest son
of your ancestor, Thomas Smith who came to the US from England. I didn’t
find him but suddenly up came the death certificate for Lloyd Bonham
Smith. It really hit me. Years ago Grandpa Smith (Herbert W) made out a
family group sheet for his uncle Lynnville Bonham Smith and listed three
children, Lynville Thomas (born 1903), Lloyd Bonham (with no dates or
places) and Elenora (born 1908). I had tried to find information for
years on this family who didn’t join the church. But could never find
anything about Lloyd Bonham Smith and so took him off the family -
thinking he was just a rumor.
Here was this two year old’s death CERTIFICATE with his birth date and
place, death date and place. Cause of death. Parent's names. His
mother’s signature. The whole story. I was just tingling.

Death Certificate from State of Utah:
Place of death: County of Salt Lake

Street and No.: 95 Rio Grande Ave

Mother Clara Akers born in Wisconsin
Informant Mrs. L. B. Smith, 95 Rio Grande Ave,
Place of burial Mt. Olivet Cemetery
Date of burial Aug 8, 1907
I hereby certify, that I attended deceased from 16 June, 1907 to Aug 6,
1907and that I last saw him 6th and death occured on above date at 3:20
p.m. Cause of death was Cerebro Spinal Meningitis. Where contracted Salt
Lake , duration 60 days. (signed by unreadable MD signiature.)

Funerals

We are certainly clearing out the ward. Last week it was Cleston and this week it is Dean Shaw. (In April it was Myrtle Taylor.) He had pneumonia. He had been in the hospital and was being treated. They thought he would be able to come home this week. This makes me feel a bit better about Grandpa Pitts. I had wondered if the doctor had put him in the hospital instead of just giving him pills if it would have made a difference. I guess not. Dad tells me that three is the charm. Let's hope so. Our new bishop has had enough of funerals. Love, M
