Scorpions are part of our world here.

Wow, we are getting things all cleaned up before we come home.. We cleaned carpets, today we had the motor home washed and waxed, and we cleaned the windows inside. We are squeeky clean. As I was cleaning up outside there was a little scorpion crawling towards a box to kide under the box. I scooped it up and put it in a bottle to bring home. We caught one once before but released it, we took a picture of it before we let it go. They live in the palm trees and when the wind blows it knocks them out of the trees. Fortunately they are just baby scorpions not big daddies and mommies. The computer class we have been taking has been really fun.
We are looking forward to getting home and setting up our own computer and practicing what we have learned. We are loving the sun and our fun activities. As I am sitting here in the computer room typing and can see out the glass door next to me and I'm watching all the sun worshipers out by the pool soaking up sun. It's a beautiful day. We love you all, take care. Love Dad and Mom.

the letter to the children

Here is another day in my life in the sun filled AZ.
We have a picture of the sea front of Maui in a Walai beach, it is so nice to be in my second childhood and know that I don't have to get too old,or myabe I do?
we have been to class yesterday that help me to understand how to send this letter and I'm slow becaust of my typing (Nat;that reminds me of a story that Monty Stevens told me, ha,ha,ha) and the fellow next to me, types like a legal secretary, so much for the gift of confidence.
We sure enjoyed hearing from the Fams they made my day on my brithday and I can now read the remaks in thae bolg,ti is great and enjoy what we did that day.
Mother was saying that the place down here is like La,La,Land, and that is no joke, because we have all the time to do what we want to do and know that there is no time schudle that we have to meet.
We went to the Temple to do sealing and the group of us did 8 names and one name was Sidney and another was Isabella, made mother and I look to the day we can go through with each of the grandchildren and their spouses, that will be great days for us.
Well our class will start in a few monments so I close for now and writ another day
Love,the sun burnt "KID", DAD

Another day in la, la land.

Yesterday was Dad's birthday and I he had a great day. All of our children called and some even called a couple times. He was sung to by some of our wonderful grandchildren and some of our amazing children and he really loved that. It is the highlight of our day when we hear from our children. There is nothing in the world that brings us more joy than our children and to know that they are strong in the gospel. We started our day out with a special breakfast of pancakes and eggs and milk. We got our exercise in and then down to business with another puzzle. Only one concern, you don't get much exercise while working on a puzzle. However we did take a break and went for a bike ride. Lunch was "The Works Pizza "from Papa John's a block away. Dinner was a nice big salad with Poppy seed dressing and Crab meat. We had a great evening by going to the Easter Pagent at the Temple grounds. It was wonderful. There were over 400 membert in the cast and the stage and costumes and lighting etc. were excellent. Our neighbor,Paul, went with us and he was very impressed and we enjoyed his company. We enjoyed our Cake and Ice Cream with Paul and his Wife Gayle the night before so that it would be a surprise to Dad. I had to make the cake while he was at the computer room and I didn't want him to know about it. It was fun. We are doing well and Life is good. Now that we have the computers to play on and and a few other things that we have incorperated into our schedual we are enjoying it even better. We are looking to being with the family again. Love you All.
