We Run into the Scannels in Natalia's Ward

We traveled to the Seattle area to spend time with Natalia.  And guess who we at church, old friends from Stevens Creek Ward.  Of course we didn't know they would be there, but their daughter now lives in Natalia's ward.  We have camped with them in the past.  The Scannels now live in New Hampshire.  Their boys were not there, (they were sluffing church) but there were five grandchildren, and I am not sure how many more the boys have between them.  The Scannels were having a reunion at Brenna's home.

Miranda Has Brought Her Roommate Home for Thanksgiving

Melanie is Miranda's roommate at BYUI.  She is from Delaware and also happens to know the McNeil family.  I mentioned that Ken was a very good man, and she agreed and said she enjoyed him as her bishop.  It is a small world sometimes.  Ken is buried in Modesto.  We placed her between Rorie and Walker in terms of age.  She didn't live very close; It must be a very big ward.  However she was familiar with the ice cream shop where the McNeils had taken us when we visited.  She also said Liza does her hair.  She has done ours as well.  I am sure she motivated Charity to study cosmetology.  I don't know why Melanie was doing the dishes.  I guess she volunteered.

Jesse Is Here for the Week

Both Tony and Jesse are out of school.  Tony a week before Jesse.  So Jesse is here for the week.  I took them to the park the other night, they went swimming at the Normans today.  They went to Great America Monday.  They are having a good time.  However Tony now has Cub Scouts for a few afternoons. It is a busy week.  They have been jumping on the trampoline.  They have been throwing the ball around the house, and nothing broken yet.
