NEWS FROM THE DAYS:

We started off the month going fishing with Stephanie and her three girls. It was a State free fishing day and we went to a fishing pond in the Murray area and enjoyed the morning trying to catch a fish. No luck, but we had fun trying, and Sara (age 4) and Taylor (age 2) enjoyed playing on the park slides and climbing apparatus for kids. That night, we met up with Debbie and Kaylee for the Herriman day’s rodeo. We got to meet the rodeo clowns before the show, and a cowgirl showed Jessica, Kaylee and Sarah how to throw a rope and lasso a steer. Debbie fixed us dinner before the rodeo, and then she kept Sarah and Jessica for a sleepover that night.

We attended more funerals this month, after going to Margie Myricks service last month. A friend’s mother passed away, and then we were saddened with the passing of Annette. Her service was so nice – it was good to see everyone.

We saw several movies this past month – Sex and the City, Toy Story (Linda had gotten tickets thru her work for all the kids/grandkids), Knight and Day, The Prince of Persia, and Eclipse (the best one of the bunch). Debbie got us hooked on another vampire series on HBO called True Blood. Linda bought the 1st season, and we’re now true believers! Linda bought the 2nd season just this last week.

Linda and I just got back from a week at our St. George condo. We enjoyed the time away to ourselves, saw a few movies (mentioned above), the musical Tarzan at the Tuachan, golfed, swam, and just relaxed. And oh yes, we actually came out $$ ahead on our trip to Mesquite this time, and I even won at bingo, something we like to play each time we go there. While at the Tuachan, we ran into Nathan and Julie Boone, a nice surprise.

Stephanie had another gall bladder attack a few weeks ago, and the doctor decided it was time for her to have the old gall bladder removed, so Stephanie and the girls moved in with us tonight for a week while Steph gets this done and recuperates. She goes in tomorrow morning for the outpatient procedure.

Katie, Bill and Jack had us over to their home for Father’s Day. Bill’s parents joined us as well, and we enjoyed a “healthy” backyard barbeque with chicken kabobs. Linda surprised me with tickets to Garrison Keeler at Red Butte Gardens in August. Annette originally turned me on to Garrison Keeler, and we took her and Dad to one of his Red Butte concerts years ago, but got rained out after about 45 minutes. And Katie and Bill announced they were expecting again in February 2011!!!

And that’s the news from the Days, the whole news, and nothing but the true news.
