Since it's slow tonight...

I'll add some shots of the Will Rodger's Shrine of the Sun.

Can you see it?

Shot from the lower observation deck looking up.

Aimee asked me to take a shot of her looking off into the distance.

Grandpa Update

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter. We did. We listened/watched conference yesterday and today on the computer. Our DSL is just a little slow so we saw the "jerky" version. Lots of good talks and great advice.

We had Easter Dinner here at our place with Seth, Lacey and family. Ham, funeral potatoes, broccoli salad, yum yum salad, and finished off with cinnamon rolls.

We have been visiting Grandpa every day this week. We went up today between sessions of conference. He looks better than he has looked in a long time. We have decided that this lack of oxygen in his blood has been coming on for quite some time. He was getting dizzy, his one good eye was going blurry, he lost his appetite, he fell down on the way to the bathroom, and he just didn't feel good. Now he looks "chipper", his vision has returned, he has a huge appetite, and he just looks and acts great. We are kind of thinking he will come home tomorrow. They will want him to go to Aunt Brenda's so someone can watch him. They have not been able to get his oxygen level to stay up in the 90's so when he does come home, he will probably have to be on a portable oxygen system. We'll cross that bridge when the time comes. Those that want to call him can call the hospital at 208-882-4511 and ask for room 205. He has a bit of a hard time on the phone so speak clearly, tell him who you are, and speak a little slower than normal. Other than that, I'm sure he would love to hear from you.

It is supposed to have been raining last week and this next week but has been sunny and nice yesterday and today.

Joe and Sandi have about everything moved out of their garage and shed. They have been hauling it out by the pickup loads. They sign the papers on the 14th and move into an apartment over kind of by Seth and Lacey. The contractor is supposed to start their new home in a week or so. We're sorry to lose them from the neighborhood.

Have a good week.
