HONEY MOON OVER......

All good things come to an end!

Tomorrow Alex and Ashlyn will back to the real world......she goes back to school to get her RN and Alex will be back to work with the family business.

I thought they were coming in Saturday after a 7 day cruise....they came in Thursday night after a 5 day cruise......they texted they wanted to stay all night....I said of course.  Thursday I had the Domino group and a friend came by late.....so when I went to bed about 9......

I was out cold.....my dog is deaf and if I sleep on my good ear....nada!  They came in about 11....went down stairs to bed....got up and showered and left a note......"thanks for letting us stay"....and were off to help Darren drive cars back to Venal...I found the note when I finally got up.  HELLO.....if you know how to get into my house..you could clean me out while I ....and my dog....sleep.  Ken said he kinda heard them......but didn't get up.
Went to church this morning.....Ken went over and went to Brayden's ward/   Dropped by Pam's to deliver a late birthday gift....Tiff and Aaron came by ....so nice day.

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY......

Cute nephew Mike Ramsey playing Mark Twain at Sun Dance with his Mom Leslie.....Yesterday was his birthday and I got to spend a couple of hours with him as we visited a cousin....Lucille was so happy we came......Mike played the piano and sang for she and Gene.  Lucille has let her self go and can hardly walk or breath because of weight....but her old spirit is still there....They had made fresh cinnamon rolls for us and sent home a big pan with each of us.....So sad to see her like that...Mike's daughter had taken him to breakfast and his best friends were taking him to dinner.....Yes. he is lonesome.....but handling it by staying busy.....We had such a good talk about life and all......

FRANTIC WEEK......

Well it began Monday morning......Sher and Ken got to UVU and began the process of getting Ken registered for school......and how to get from SlC to Orem........ finally home about four....wiped out! They take the trax from my house to Costco......change to Front Runner and then in Orem then ride a bus to the UVU campus......Ken will do this three days a week....Brayden's wife Libby will also be doing this and can help Ken with home work.....Sher did this Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.......then got caught in a rain storm that closed the road on the way home.....five and a half hours home.  Bet she is glad this is her last one to get schooled after a mission.  Tomorrow the schedule begins.
