Jan. 30, 2008 Happy Birthday April

This has been quite a week. Each day I learn something new either about how to do something on the blog or some new piece of information. Tuesday when we went to our Institute class we learned some about Paul and the amazing person he was. I am growing to love that man. He was very zelous in the gospel once he was visited by the savior. Our instructor had prepared a really nice tribute to Pres. Hinkley, it was very touching. In class one of the sisters shared someting about the youth at Mt. view High Seminary. When they heard, sunday night, that Pres. Hinkley had passed away, they texed each of the other kids that they knew at the Seminary and planned to wear their sunday clothes on monday to show respect for Pres. Hinkley. My heart was touched by the thoughtfulness of those students. There was also a nice artical in the news paper about Pres. Hinkley and our neighbors knew we are L.D.S. so they wanted to make sure we received the paper that day.
We are so excited to see our family this weekend and be able to spent a week in S.L.C. We're sad Natalie and Bruce and the kids won't be able to come because of the bad roads. Love to you all.

It's another day. 1-23-08

Hay All,
I just spent minutes typing another blog and did something, I don't know what and errased it.
just need to do this enough times to make it work for me. It's fun to read everyone's blog.
I'll eventually figure this out and then I won't feel so "Computor Illiderate"

It's a New Day 1-23-08

It's a new day and we find all kinds of things to keep us busy. This morning I got up and wrote in my journal and read our lesson we had yesterday in our institute class. It was good to review

the things we learned about Paul and his journies and the experiences he and Barnabus had.

Dad went over for a shower; it's like summer camp for the last two years, showering at a shower away from the place we live. Dad came back, had breakfast and went to the computer lab.

I went to exercise and shower and called April to learn how to get to our email. Then I finally

was able to get to the email after days of failure. Oh well, there wasn't anything there anyway.

Each thing I learn to do on the computer makes me so happy. I don't feel so illiderate towads

the computer. It can be my freind. I tried to leave a comment on Eve's blog but wasn't successful. One more thing to figure out.

Dear family,
It has been really interesting to see how this blogging works. Thanks to Natalie and April we are in the world of bloggers how. It's fun to have a new activity along with the things we are doing here in the park. Last week was really busy with an Institute class on tues. wed. we went to the Mesa temple and did sealings, thursday we took a genealogy class to try to get started with our
Genealogy and Friday we went to Kingman Az. to see John,s sister Nancy and her family for the day. Saturday was fun too, we went to the temple and helped with the grounds clean up. When
we finished, everyone that was there for the project gathered in the garage or building for the gardners and sang primary songs and had a closing prayer. We had a great time. We were told we could come any time we have some free time and help with the gardening. We were allowed to pick some fruit from the trees on the grounds. We go some grapefruit and tangalo's and some
pecons. There were also oranges, lemons and mango's, but we didn't get to those trees.
This week we have both had colds, so we have been taking it easy. The only thing we have been
doing is resting and reading and working on the computer and shopping.
Today I made some home made chicken soug to try to help the cold get better. I used curley noodles and they sucked up all the juice so had to make more juice.
I'll close for now. Love mom and Dad. Grandma and Grandpa. Hansen

Family Update.

I don't know who will be reading this, but we now have a blog site. It was fun to read Natalie's and Eve's and Johnny and April's Blog. If I can learn how to do all this I'll really feel accomplished. We came over to the computer lab at the park where we are staying at noon and it is now 2:30 and I am just now figuring out how to get this going. Thanks April for setting
me up. Let me know if this actually comes across.

This week we have been a bit home bound, Dad has a cold. Dad has been working on our
stocks and trying to get things going with medicare. They don't make it easy when you are
out of state. It's rather frustrating, it's good we are coming home in Feb. for a week so we
can take care of all the odds and ends we need to take care of .

We appreciate being able to talk to you all on the phone. Now that we have a blog site maby
the grand kids will type us a letter occasionally so we can hear from them.

Grampa has a computer pass so we can ckeck to blog sites and send a letter back. We love you all. Love Grandma and Grandpa Hansen.
