Thora Salmond Yahoo Group

I have been trying to think of a way for my family to keep in touch and share with each other in an easy way. I created a forum and that didn't work. So now I am trying a Yahoo Group that will use our e-mails. I am hoping it works so we can keep in touch.

My sister Marilyn dropped by for a few days. We had tons of fun chatting and catching up. I wish our family could be closer and not spread across the country but that is the way things have ended up. I think Richard's passing there are a few of us who want to do better at keeping in touch. I hope this blog is one way we can do that and the Yahoo Group is another.

We had Sheila's kids today so Dan could spend time at the Hospital with Sheila. You need to click on their link and check out their new addition to their family. The kids were good during church. Austin is chatty so we separated him and put him between Amanda and myself. He is a typical kid. Amanda played with him and helped him with his sticker book. Ryann drew me a picture which I had her sign and date and it is now in my scriptures. During the opening exercises to Priesthood I saw one of the Primary President chasing a kid in the chapel. Then he turned around and I noticed it was Austin. I guess during the break to go to class he bolted. So I took him to class where he stayed. The teacher told me a conversation she had with Austin.
She said, "Is Sister Salmond your Aunt?"
He said, " that is not her name."
"What is her name?"
"Aunt."
"What is her last name?"
"Shay."
I thought that was pretty typical of Austin and pretty funny.
During dinner we had some BBQ Chicken and Austin said, "Chicken is a funny word huh?"
Noah had an entire backed potato, two helpings of salad and a good helping of chicken. He didn't want green beans. Shay was commenting that is the most she has ever seen him eat. Austin kept trying to wear me down to have more peanut butter cookies. He got one more out of us because they were small.

During the night last night I went to get out of bed and misjudged losing my balance, knocking off every from my night stand including water, banging into the wall and everything else. For some reason it freaked me out and did not settle well with me. I felt out of control and almost like I was having a medical issue like you see in the movies where they just start thrashing and knocking everything over and end up falling down. I know there was not a medical issue but after recent events it was present in my mind and freaked me out. I just need to get in shape and lose the extra toddler I am caring around with me.

Shay has posted about it but She was t-boned in her van almost a week ago on Monday. She is okay but the van is in the shop. Shay has had a rough week but if she chooses she can write about it.

Cheers,
John...
