Where is everyone?

No one has posted anything for quite some time, is anything happening out there? We had a fun time for Brendan's birthday. I think he is very pleased to be 5. It is such fun to see all the kids growing up, I'm enjoying it. Dad and I helped Christa pick apples on Tuesday. One tree has giant! red apples and the other one has tiny! golden delicious. We finally got tired of picking tiny apples and left many of them on the tree. She will have to prune next spring to help her trees out. Maybe Scott will do it. The temple is closed next month from 25 Nov to 22 Dec. Dad and I are considering taking a few days and going to Moab then. It should be nice to get away. I like to plan any trips when the temple is closed so I don't have to get a substitute. I'm not real keen on making the time up and substituting for someone else to trade. It's just easier to just show up on my regular days. I substituted one week to make a three day week, not my favorite thing to do. I don't mind the work at the temple, it is just tiring because you must concentrate all the day. Any loss of concentration means errors and that's no fun. Well, time to go make dinner. Somebody - say/write something.

Love, Mom
