RE: From Myrna

Sounds good.  I think Michael's ward is at 11 also.  So we'll run home after church and change and then we'll be down around 3-3:30.

Oh one other question, my friend wants to order some strawberry plants but doesn't know what kind of plants are good.  Any recommendations?  I have no idea...

It sounds wonderful! We will look forward to seeing you both. Our church is the 11 a.m. session.

Very cute!  Wow that was a while ago, lol!  Are you and Leonard doing anything this coming Sunday after church?  I will be in Utah spending a few days with Michael and since he has school Mon-Fri and you are at the temple on Sat, we thought we'd come down on Sunday after we attend his ward, as long as you will be there that is.  Let me know if that works or not.

Thanks!

Thanks for the updated info…. Need to get those Christmas cards out.  J  Thank you for Hailey’s birthday card and $.  I will take her shopping this next week.  I’m sure she will be buying something pink with it!  Hailey had a good birthday today.  She got to go play with her best friend next door (she’s being begging to go play for weeks), opened her presents, went out to eat pizza and salad (her request), came home for cake and ice cream and is now watching WALLY (one of her presents) to finish off her big day.  Just thought you might want to know.  Thanks again for remembering her 3^rd birthday.  Love to you both!

Catherine is very ill.

Norma wrote: Catherine has severe hypothyroidism and a cancer antigen that indicates she probably has some type of cancer.  She has seen an endochronologist and she is to see another specialist the end of this week to look for the cancer.  We hope to find out what we are dealing with soon.  I did not check my email since Sunday morning, so am sorry I did not answer sooner.  I will let you know as soon as we know what this crisis with Catherine means and we continue to pray for the best.  We continue to take her to a doctor who deals with desensitization to allergies to try and help her.  Seems like we spend our whole life waiting for help that never seems to come.  Hope all is well with you and your family members.  Thank you for all you have done for us.  It is sometimes hard to see the whole picture of what the Lord wants us to learn and do.


Myrna wrote: I am so sorry. I have battled severe (meaning that it has been difficult to treat) hypothyroidism for about 10 years now. I just wish that she didn't have to do this on top of everything else. Could there be a chance that she really doesn't have cancer but that it is just another manifestation of the Lyme disease?

Lowry G. Olsen
February 18, 1919  ~  March 5, 2012

Lowry Grant Olsen, age 93, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2012, surrounded by his daughters. Lowry married his sweetheart, Dorothy Childs, on Aug 23, 1939 in Orangeville UT and was sealed in the Manti Temple on June 4, 1958.

Lowry was born to Arthur and Della Olsen on February 18, 1919 in Ferron, UT. He spent most of his life in Ferron. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Elden Olsen, and his wife. He leaves behinds his two daughters, Della Marie (Duane) Marble, and Pauline (Roy) Wood, 8 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren.

Lowry worked as a farmer, coal miner, and heavy equipment operator. Lowry's unmatched wit and delightful sense of humor will be greatly missed by all. He loved his family and they loved him.

He was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was a member of the C.C.C.
In his free time Lowry loved to fish, camp, and travel. Lowry was a "rock hound". He turned the rocks he gathered into beautiful pieces of jewelry.

Funeral services will be Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at the Ferron Millsite LDS Chapel (35 W. 200 N.). A viewing will be Friday, March 9, 2012 at Fausett Mortuary in Castle Dale (720 N.

Integrity from Kirsten

Mom, 

Saw this while studying for my lesson this morning and thought about your situation earlier this week....

It's from Marvin J. Ashton:

Avoid those who want immediate decisions or cash right now. All worthwhile investment opportunities can bear deliberation and scrutiny. We must get all the available facts and consider them well, and then make decisions that are in the best interest of all. When marginal cases and situations arise, personal integrity must be an important element in any decision. When right actions are not clearly evident, personal honesty will lead us to discern and reveal relevant points or facts of which others may not be aware. A person of integrity will assist others to be honest. A person of integrity will ask questions and give answers that are accurate.Integrity makes it possible for us to chart a course of righteous personal conduct long before the time for action arrives.

A wise person will not allow himself to be victimized by the unscrupulous because of false pride. Oftentimes people are swindled because false pride prevents them from asking questions and seeking additional information. For fear of embarrassment or being thought ignorant, a prospect ofttimes nods his head in the affirmative when he really doesn’t understand the glib salesman’s line of chatter. “What does that mean?” “What are the risks?” “What are the pitfalls?” “What is the history of the company?” “What references do you have?” are questions worthy of pursuit. When promoters carelessly use simple but elusive words such as “hedge,” “shelter,” “exempt,” “annuity,” “umbrella,” “tax free,” “insulated,” and “deferrable,” the buyer had better be aware.

If prudent decisions cannot be reached on the basis of one’s own expertise, advice should be sought from knowledgeable and trusted counselors. Offers that cannot wait or stand review are not worthy.

Abraham Lincoln once said, “Stand with anybody that stands right. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.” (The Home Book of Quotations, sel. and arr. by Burton Stevenson, New York: Dodd, Mead, & Co., 1935, p. 1726.)

We are living in a day and time when the “gentle lie,” the “soft lie,” the “convenient lie,” the “misleading lie,” the “once-in-a-lifetime deal,” the “opportunity for a few selected friends” are being vigorously advocated and promoted. Designing promoters of questionable schemes have and will continue to prey on the gullible.



Reminded me of the "pressure" you were feeling to buy now.  :)

love you, 
Kirsten

The Mirror

The Mirror
Edmund Burke 1729 - 1797, Irish Philosopher.


I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
A strange looking person
That cannot be me.

For I am much younger
And not nearly so fat
As that face in the mirror
I am looking at.

Oh, where are the mirrors
That I used to know
Like the ones which were
Made thirty years ago?

Now all things have changed
And I`m sure you`ll agree
Mirrors are not as good
As they used to be.

So never be concerned,
If wrinkles appear
For one thing I`ve learned
Which is very clear,

Should your complexion
Be less than perfection,
It is really the mirror
That needs correction!!

The Lost is Found

OK, I'm aksing everyone I know and even people I don't know.

Myrna: It is true that AnnMarie has always had a knack for finding the items I have lost.

If I don't use lots of exclamation points, AnnMarie, no one will read this.‏

Myrna wrote: I have to make a decision and I need help. All of you who are somewhat tech-wise, please respond. You may respond to all or to just me, depending on how you feel about it. 

Allan has a 3-year old MacPro that he would like to sell to me for $600. It comes loaded with the necessary programs, as always. He will take monthly payments. It has a lot of memory and my old machine, downstairs, has little. Also the old machine is now 15-years old and has had one repair. Dad and I have actually, however, been talking about buying another lap top. It is really hard for us to share this one. We both need/want it at the same time. I have begun doing my writing from the laptop because it is easier on my back. However, ALL the photo stuff is on the old tower.

There you have it. Dad went down and looked at it and he says it seems nice but he doesn't know much about the tech stuff. I have to decide by tomorrow or it will go on KSL and then, on Tuesday, in the paper.

AnnMarie wrote: $600 for a 3 year old machine seems steep.  Todd and Shawn will know better. 

I am deleting Braden and Megan and Jason from the email chain.

The best rule of thumb for all sales (and one I have learned to trust) if it has to be now, it has to be no.

P.S. You got my attention using words and no exclamation marks.  It really is the same thing I tell my kids - use words with no emoticons and no excessive punctuation and I will reply quicker.

Kirsten wrote: So if you want a price comparison, check either apple's site under refurbished section (they actually warranty them) or this site www.macofalltrades.com.

You know my deep love for macs, but I don't understand why Allan always pressures you.  He's had to know he was getting a new computer for longer than just today.  Did you check KSL to see what was already listed?

I hate pressured choices.  I personally prefer iMacs vs MacPros.

Jared wrote: For $400 more you can get a new lap top that probably has just as much space and is just as fast and has a full warranty.  I would not go for the $600 option.  My 2 cents. Jared

Brigitta wrote: Definitely not worth it. Macs are expensive and that's not actually a bad price unfortunately, but you would be better off buying a brand new hp for around 400-500 and then getting the programs you want and owning the user licences yourself, plus with a new laptop you'll have a warranty.

Let me know what you decide and if you go for a new one I'll help you find a good price.
