Easter 2014

In the last post I mentioned that Debby visited us. When she left she went to Salt Lake City for the festivities surrounding Katie Brown's wedding. On Friday night Kris and I rode to SLC with Daniel and Katy for the Brown reception. Later that evening we drove Debby's rental car back to Provo for her. Saturday evening we dined at Yamato with the Ostergars and then headed south to J. Kirk Richards' home and studio in Woodland Hills. Sunday the family, joined by the Matt and Whitney Nelson and their kids, gathered for Easter dinner/Katy's birthday. Stephen and Ann returned from England and Uncle and I started our walking regimen again.

Saturday, Easter weekend, the family gathered to dye eggs and hunt with Uncles family. Katy and Daniel, just returned from a whirlwind trip to Reno, California, and St. George, joined us for real Easter dinner. Daniel's mom, who returned with them, also spent the evening here.

We are off to LA for the Hansen Cousins Reunion at the end of the week and then to NY for a week with the Gibbs. So there will be more.

That's all for now.
