Birthday Card

Todd wrote: We just received a birthday card for Hailey. Her birthday is in December. Is it possible that this card is for one of the other grandchildren?

Myrna wrote: Oh, good grief! And I did send her card in December. Yes, it is possible. It was to go to Sorina. I have lost my marbles. I wrote both Haily and Sorina on the same day on the calendar even though I know better. I am  so sorry. I did get Sorina's card to her today. We were invited for birthday cake. Just bring it back when you come and I will take care of it. I did fix the calendar! I still don't know what my problem is. . .maybe age?

Todd wrote: No problem. I'll bring it with me. 

Braden's Gift Money

Melanie wrote: I always make sure that your money you send goes in to Braden's bank account. I think he just forgets to thank you. He usually writes us his email, then prints off our emails to read later. I have sent his email. Received his email, then a little while later I sometimes get another email with, "Oh yeah, thanks for the package...." or, "Yes, I need...,"

 I sent his package several weeks ago and I ask every week if he has received his package. I still haven't heard.

Thank you for sending him money. I know he will appreciate it. He likes spending money. :)

Myrna wrote: You I trust. You are one of the most honest people I know. I know he always gets the money I send to you. The money I send in a card, however, I am never certain he gets. I remember the years of my two South American missionaries. Once, I sent Shawn three chocolate Easter bunnies. He got half of one and it had been cut in half through the paper. ;)


Melanie wrote: That is why I ask him every time I send him a package to tell me what was in the package. In the future, when sending letters put a photocopied picture of the Madonna and child on the envelope or package. The Latins are very superstitious and daren't open packages marked like that. I use different ones by Renaissance artists, as they are found in Latin America in most if the churches.
Thank you Mom. I know he appreciates.

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.

Myrna wrote: How is Catherine? Sister Luker told me that you had discovered that she had another major life-threatening problem. I would call and ask but I do not want to worry Katherine and know that she would be where she could hear a conversation.


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.

Friends and family may sign the guest book and share memories of Lowry at www.fausettmortuary.com.

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
