Peach Days in Brigham

Dad took off early from work on Friday and we picked up Grandma Fife and drove to Brigham. Then we took both Grandmas to Smithfield where G. Fife stayed with her sister and G. C. went to the cemetery with Dad and found family buried there. Then we went to a very sad Mexican restaurant in Brigham for dinner. I was hoping for Scuba burgers but it was not to be. Then we walked downtown and had a nice stroll down memory lane. We looked at the windows and saw the Hones. It was fun to talk to Karen and hear how Kristin ( has cerebral palsy) is getting a college degree by using a special computer that responds to the movement of her head. She was happy to hear about those that have continued with piano. We saw several people from different periods of our life and were amazed how old they looked or didn't look. We see more people in a short time in BC we know than we ever see in SF. We went to WalMart that night and I was jealous at their large selection of flannel and yarn colors and no people. We saw Marla Brown and she said that Steven was in pre-med and that Trevor (Bryce's age) was in Brazil on a mission. They are moving to Wellsville into a new home. While we were talking to her, Karen Smith came and we got to talk to her. She said I gave a VT message on exercise and jogged the entire I gave the lesson to her. I don't remember that! When we came back from Smithfield we went the back way thru Honeyville. I was wondering where the Mackley's moved to and low and behold, there they were in their garage, working on a project. It was a fun house and fun to see where it was but we didn't stop. Back to Brigham. We got up the next morning and hurried home for Doug Barber's funeral ( have pneumonia) ...they said 200 people were coming for the lunch so I was on the phone for many days lining up food but our ward is so great that everyone will help even if they are going to be out of town. Then we went to Tommy Fratt's wedding ...she has been a widow for a long time and is in our ward. Then we went to the Chemistry Dept. Graduate get together and visited with Doug Tanner and saw his two children. He said that ..Mark Seeley is at BYU working also like Jo Hadfield. We had fun visiting with students from Hong Kong, China, Italy, Argentina, South America, etc. ( lots of chinese) . Brother Wollenzien saw a bear down by the SF river near the farm. That is spooky. It is Father's and Son's this weekend...any takers? We have tickets for the Sunday afternoon session of Conference. Who wants to go? I can't believe this week is over. I sure miss my vacuumers and bathroom cleaners. We got the best Brigham peaches if BYU boys want any and a lot of Funeral potatoes is you want some of those dad can take it to work. Have a great week! Love MOm
