<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This week end we had a special Stake Conference, it was wonderful! It was so nice to sit at the feet of a prophet of God and listen to his words of counsel and to feel of his spirit. The highlight of the conference happened this morning when President Nelson asked all of the primary children to stand. He couldn't see them so he asked them to stand on their Dad's laps or their chairs. He still couldn't see then so he asked them to shake their hands above their heads - what a sight! Then he asked them to sing "I Am a Child of God." Not a dry eye here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What a spiritual feast! Both Friday night and this morning he spoke on teaching our children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Friday night he spoke of our lineage in our patriarchal blessings and our responsibility because of that lineage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He asked us to teach our children who they really are and gave us the following scriptures as guidelines:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Abraham 2:8-8</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">D&C 132:28-32</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">D&C 124:38</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">D&C 101:3-5</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">D&C 86:8-11</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Ether 13:7-8</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3 Nephi 20:24-26</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1 Nephi 15:18</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This morning he continued counseling us on what to teach our children.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He said to teach them:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What it really means when they sing I Am a Child of God.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How to pray morning and night </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">About Christ and what He did for us</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To commemorate the atonement while partaking the sacrament</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To understand that this is Christ's church, not President Monson's, or Brigham Young's or Joseph Smiths</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">About the Prophet Joseph Smith and what he was able to accomplish</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To read the scriptures, the REAL scriptures - Have them memorize their dad's voices reading the scriptures to them</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That the Book of Mormon helps us understand the Bible</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What a miracle the priesthood is</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">About the temple</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To qualify for missionary service</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Blessing of paying tithing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Importance of getting an education</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To be good citizens </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> He encouraged us to have a picture of the Portland temple in our homes and to have pictures of family.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">He then left his blessing upon us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I am so thankful that I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the knowledge I have of the plan of salvation and for opportunities like this to sit at the feet of a prophet of God and to have my purpose here on this earth reinforced and to know that I am heading in the right direction.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-16343345421983556322010-09-22T22:15:00.000-07:002010-09-22T22:25:11.705-07:00<em><span style="font-size:180%;">Introducing:</span></em><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#333399;">Fredrick Andrew Johnson</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#333399;">Born Wednesday, September 22, 2010</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#333399;">4:55 PM</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#333399;">8 lbs. .05 oz.</span><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#333399;">19" long</span><br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxsu9PKQG5odrG5Sy-8-_qCiD2CYsl21fjrdzFEKUnDq1VJiNRB2WKd_WmLEHvZqNJxM_eBX_niNChzNcyyRG50Vy86m5JkTaAYGlA1n-gYO6WcGQ74abNoaGQ-96-2XTFCtJ7NopbBuP/s1600/043.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519973890404437106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrxsu9PKQG5odrG5Sy-8-_qCiD2CYsl21fjrdzFEKUnDq1VJiNRB2WKd_WmLEHvZqNJxM_eBX_niNChzNcyyRG50Vy86m5JkTaAYGlA1n-gYO6WcGQ74abNoaGQ-96-2XTFCtJ7NopbBuP/s320/043.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceCyR2xOzs5cvSD2hqfGNXgozPThpUpOTHM8bLbDNisonXd3jT6HZLq7NSG0qU1dg7dYl_PKYYbjMFI-fH9LXaX0nqb7zL51XURY7upSzIt44ZIfVUoJFn1gT4r2T1j7srARaAt4fjWdc/s1600/048.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519974261466516770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgceCyR2xOzs5cvSD2hqfGNXgozPThpUpOTHM8bLbDNisonXd3jT6HZLq7NSG0qU1dg7dYl_PKYYbjMFI-fH9LXaX0nqb7zL51XURY7upSzIt44ZIfVUoJFn1gT4r2T1j7srARaAt4fjWdc/s320/048.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLnZEJCh_INWZ7pDIGYuAQHC9aMdyRCkXHE1ym8Ir-iF4Wd8FUQPInn9UCK9CLExpQ2356EckpwuNRKwGHfYq9qQH4htDONEselZIbyZNG87s8eWPY_6z-VGIa-LEPtemmV4UkYLHr-wAI/s1600/052.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5519974498416902754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLnZEJCh_INWZ7pDIGYuAQHC9aMdyRCkXHE1ym8Ir-iF4Wd8FUQPInn9UCK9CLExpQ2356EckpwuNRKwGHfYq9qQH4htDONEselZIbyZNG87s8eWPY_6z-VGIa-LEPtemmV4UkYLHr-wAI/s320/052.JPG" /></a>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-59348857563284874142010-01-18T18:52:00.000-08:002010-01-18T19:16:01.039-08:00<span style="font-size:180%;">Oregon Coast</span><br /><br />Soon after our family moved to Portland in 1985, we started a tradition of driving to the Oregon coast the day after Christmas to go whale watching. Eventually those trips grew to include a stop at the Outlet Mall in Lincoln City as well.<br /><br />After Alicia got married we kind of let that tradtion slip. Well, today we decided to make a whale watching trip to the Oregon coast! Those of you who know the Oregon coast know you get what the coast gives you. And to most of us Oregonians that is the beauty of our coast!<br /><br />Today the Oregon coast did not give us any whale sitings. Instead we saw a lot of this!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1SDY3-rXdR4hF-0KS_jNAxdJBywFIKyoUrjrx38McBlODTmaVX7e-CXeuZlEr2E0f2vhrIBuJfUKBqmrxh4LBE-7lQWtsL8o9yITmvg0EqmdKoSKrLDP2zU9hZkX3MSsYBwDFIDeSVtoF/s1600-h/IMG_6534.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428280998206286002" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1SDY3-rXdR4hF-0KS_jNAxdJBywFIKyoUrjrx38McBlODTmaVX7e-CXeuZlEr2E0f2vhrIBuJfUKBqmrxh4LBE-7lQWtsL8o9yITmvg0EqmdKoSKrLDP2zU9hZkX3MSsYBwDFIDeSVtoF/s320/IMG_6534.JPG" /></a> <div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvbomJTGZIDuqbSsy8ZpuN5oQABHMklw6HRlEW1XYmt-MSXtxQL9LeHtEmH9IaUBIyf_C9mZpw19dhBZMmZcuCOqHUW3CdGe2LSFNP-1Ubc132TFDdP40CYG5tF6_vEng9W1pRvD4j0gw/s1600-h/IMG_6485.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428283946249020610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDvbomJTGZIDuqbSsy8ZpuN5oQABHMklw6HRlEW1XYmt-MSXtxQL9LeHtEmH9IaUBIyf_C9mZpw19dhBZMmZcuCOqHUW3CdGe2LSFNP-1Ubc132TFDdP40CYG5tF6_vEng9W1pRvD4j0gw/s320/IMG_6485.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibX1fTR7-2P1jIsAAbx9wAMLcR-0sfzRbiIBiQ9OEYk867i3iH5lBspkfHdGMbvFMgYXkzS7Rkd1niPnbRGwHft7l0_UihJEw8VzwS_FZaGgTXMmpkckUEMmEjUf5q2vf5zmW6_AjKmt12/s1600-h/IMG_6516.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428280862718074866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibX1fTR7-2P1jIsAAbx9wAMLcR-0sfzRbiIBiQ9OEYk867i3iH5lBspkfHdGMbvFMgYXkzS7Rkd1niPnbRGwHft7l0_UihJEw8VzwS_FZaGgTXMmpkckUEMmEjUf5q2vf5zmW6_AjKmt12/s320/IMG_6516.JPG" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBxFj2l3X72qntrUx1BE4Bh2FkAYQanXX7jT4s9xI4d44fBAh_lD4lo0Lz2MGpEOIFE7b5URQSCtu0ecNTgokIj3vGr1ObIOzAPYBYb0s1zBi19GnceMgbvEkLwKOysVbYZAZV1KuGzkae/s1600-h/IMG_6513.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428280638010806114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBxFj2l3X72qntrUx1BE4Bh2FkAYQanXX7jT4s9xI4d44fBAh_lD4lo0Lz2MGpEOIFE7b5URQSCtu0ecNTgokIj3vGr1ObIOzAPYBYb0s1zBi19GnceMgbvEkLwKOysVbYZAZV1KuGzkae/s320/IMG_6513.JPG" /></a> </div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQoeoSLAVhbc4L1sPF4AwZdu_RGPolivzt4KiD0kP2eMpzs5tB8IOZd66m_ZGP9s7JrV7muM5f9U-BO_lScgC3Ms6wyqMD_gPPlALOcndk9RW8xNM-6e3qYpBLcROBBWsznG0awbrXXjb/s1600-h/IMG_6484.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428280475295983794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQoeoSLAVhbc4L1sPF4AwZdu_RGPolivzt4KiD0kP2eMpzs5tB8IOZd66m_ZGP9s7JrV7muM5f9U-BO_lScgC3Ms6wyqMD_gPPlALOcndk9RW8xNM-6e3qYpBLcROBBWsznG0awbrXXjb/s320/IMG_6484.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt9MfaGpkMVPDslblKuW7ecmpZyFZ8LgEp0N7IbsWt-kM6zgcUgH7MP7CTZCw4O9NS_QRwmW0w8b3D4c5Hed6aO3CACylHYrq8JOe3ByRcpqU6zQW2krMdHgjiDNa1VP3sIB41HJl8jcUw/s1600-h/IMG_6441.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428280259424251298" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt9MfaGpkMVPDslblKuW7ecmpZyFZ8LgEp0N7IbsWt-kM6zgcUgH7MP7CTZCw4O9NS_QRwmW0w8b3D4c5Hed6aO3CACylHYrq8JOe3ByRcpqU6zQW2krMdHgjiDNa1VP3sIB41HJl8jcUw/s320/IMG_6441.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirT8NJUrk_8jk8gu8by_JNZZHLAN4TnO-fqz2ezChi7VbtrxeatdCWPx_7Bm_hUc5PynLbFQ0-bwyqOOV8G9XV8YdsES1gJk69ZjzR-3THtBbxYqrnud_UrH_CexqJjrrQY3KysLfWTV_l/s1600-h/IMG_6508.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428280011099594306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirT8NJUrk_8jk8gu8by_JNZZHLAN4TnO-fqz2ezChi7VbtrxeatdCWPx_7Bm_hUc5PynLbFQ0-bwyqOOV8G9XV8YdsES1gJk69ZjzR-3THtBbxYqrnud_UrH_CexqJjrrQY3KysLfWTV_l/s320/IMG_6508.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;">Beautiful isn't it!!!!!</span></div></div></div>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-24755000668611646972009-10-12T08:46:00.000-07:002009-10-12T09:29:34.751-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#330033;">Wisdom comes with age~</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#330033;">Sometimes age comes alone!</span><br /><br />I teach the 4/5 years olds in primary. Several months ago as I was teaching I mentioned that I was a grandma. One of my kids said, "Are you an old lady?" I assured him I <em>was</em> an old lady. However, I feel age is a number and you are only as old as you feel. Years ago my grandmother told me I would never grow up! I happen to agree with her. I look at my peers and feel they look so wise and put together and graceful. I feel that I am pretty much still trying to grow up!<br /><br />Yesterday as I was teaching my little children in primary I showed a picture of my parents as I told of an experience I had with them. As I showed this photo of my parents, one little girl said "She is an old lady!" Define old. To precious Maggie, I'm sure that my mother looks "old". To me, my mother doesn't look that old!

I was at the grocery store loading my items at the check out. I had two large pumpkins in my cart. I had placed the first pumpkin on the conveyor belt and was waiting for more room to open to place the second pumpkin. While I was waiting I was holding my hands together because they were cold. Well, the gal behind me (who in my mind wasn't really that much younger than I am) said, "Ma'am, can I put that pumpking up for you?" Say what! Luckily I smiled and said "No, thank you, my hands are just cold." I know she meant well, and I really was not offended. It actually was kind of funny. I always say I have no idea what 53 is supposed to feel like! I guess I'm "old" enough that in funny and unexpected ways the people around me will keep me informed! But I don't plan on taking up residence in a rocking chair just yet!

Almost without missing a beat, we fell into conversation and had quite a nice visit until our paths took different directions. This is another reason I love these trips. The world can feel so big and I can feel so insignificant, then we can be walking along in a place so far from home, strike up a conversation with a total stranger and feel like instant friends without ever knowing their names and knowing we will never see them again. With each visit and each friend made, this large world grows ever smaller.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-34970166150844381262009-09-28T18:00:00.000-07:002009-10-02T14:01:47.364-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;">A Little Respect Please!</span><br /><br />Today we flew to Harrisburg, PA!<br /><br />We had to get up at 3 this morning to make our 7:30 flight. Reminded us of our getting up at 3 on Saturdays to work in the temple!<br /><br />This flight was Neals "maiden voyage" with his pacemaker and it was not a pleasant experience. Neal got Mr. Natzi Frisk Man. How much can you hide in one pacemaker? And just what effect does said pacemaker have on the items sent on the conveyor belt through the scanner? Mr. Natzi Frisk Man wouldn't let anyone near Neal nor his possessions till he was quite done with Neal. Go figure. I felt so sorry for Neal.

Downtown Harrisburg reminds me of a cross between Nashville and Richmond. A lot of homeless right outside our hotel door and the places to eat near by are just a bunch of bars. So we ended up back in our hotel for some pot stickers and a couple of cob salads for dinner and that actually hit the spot for us!<br /><br />I hope this doesn't sound like I'm complaining, I'm not. Every trip has it's story. Tomorrow I'm all set with the lap top so I can listen to some good conference talks and with some knitting to keep me company while Neal is in class. And tomorrow is always another day to see just what this part of the country is like. And that is why I come on these trips with Neal. I love seeing the personalities and characters of each little part of the country that makes up this most wonderful place we live, the Untied States!Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-54863612724949515122009-08-01T08:00:00.000-07:002009-08-01T08:00:03.842-07:00<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#330033;">MATERNITY WARD</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#663366;">We have a second batch of baby sparrows!</span><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwTIm1FGL_iURqiXthnVkwPARiA4sRifw7MgKJlu-ZVLHIw2e7SoGnVFbB1hIjogyFV-ZC6dMFucHSKqqHagw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-30089916504638809192009-07-31T10:29:00.000-07:002009-07-31T10:41:21.073-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;">HAPPY 1/2 BIRTHDAY <em>"RANDY</em>"</span> <div><div><br /><div><span style="color:#336666;">Happy 1/2 birthday to the man who stole our daughter's heart:</span></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrq4Zt0HkqR_XR2UvAiTDJ_rgi8xHdnikTVSkBY2sNY3aYVEB-Dcmwf3zlYMc7uH_DlWp90bDEzWxJE26AisAY-Cu88kNZ6mbMaFflT0mxvS-gwugPXf6C5Ywh9H3NpiZsao2ueiFkdSGZ/s1600-h/IMG_6606.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364678327088946754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrq4Zt0HkqR_XR2UvAiTDJ_rgi8xHdnikTVSkBY2sNY3aYVEB-Dcmwf3zlYMc7uH_DlWp90bDEzWxJE26AisAY-Cu88kNZ6mbMaFflT0mxvS-gwugPXf6C5Ywh9H3NpiZsao2ueiFkdSGZ/s320/IMG_6606.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="color:#336666;">who is the apple of his son's eye:</span></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKoSQWhYoLYP1jEuDERK68mZ69P4RpO2AlSCcnvC_HUzJEu-6NjS6V7A5XGHuzYJwCJE_TBXM6ZZa6jE5dkF6g-sltfxCIm7qNW3ZrNEeVAANRABz2TkheLuOU1RnJS9hwe4iR_EMJQj2X/s1600-h/DSCN1077.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 246px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364678792427009202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKoSQWhYoLYP1jEuDERK68mZ69P4RpO2AlSCcnvC_HUzJEu-6NjS6V7A5XGHuzYJwCJE_TBXM6ZZa6jE5dkF6g-sltfxCIm7qNW3ZrNEeVAANRABz2TkheLuOU1RnJS9hwe4iR_EMJQj2X/s320/DSCN1077.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div><span style="color:#336666;">and has been kind enough to embrace <span style="font-size:85%;">(or put up with!)</span> some Weatherspooness!</span></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_si41YQv0v-DeIEOAZB6t5_B-FZhXoN7LWQOsFUZKXFbazj5dda7N0NYa6tLQ9AfNtAs8nH4Kwpzw8zH056lgEvymG6pQD-qYRxBzudtyFrIWtUOhrBDq_Ix8xYMxPlBvKi6gTvuQBQ2q/s1600-h/IMG_6474.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364679958148751746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_si41YQv0v-DeIEOAZB6t5_B-FZhXoN7LWQOsFUZKXFbazj5dda7N0NYa6tLQ9AfNtAs8nH4Kwpzw8zH056lgEvymG6pQD-qYRxBzudtyFrIWtUOhrBDq_Ix8xYMxPlBvKi6gTvuQBQ2q/s320/IMG_6474.JPG" /></a></div><div> </div><div><span style="color:#336666;">We're glad to have you in our family Randy!</span></div><div><span style="font-size:78%;color:#336666;">(Sorry the gift and card will be late - all part of the Weatherspooness)</span></div></div></div>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-60564342804584353492009-07-29T21:10:00.000-07:002009-07-29T21:19:10.590-07:00<span style="color:#003300;"> <span style="font-size:180%;">Gardenias</span><br /></span><div></div><br /><div><span style="color:#003300;">Since we've lived in our current house, I've been discovering all kinds of flowers.

I think he is looking better, too!</div><div><br /> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MJJx7n4fuRP4TQ7Q3dWPmwX_fpF1Dm6Xw2WyfIgQE-bYOUOVVLnPT61arNmLcSMns9ZQX0r-9YBIInQCj4UpnfJdimz7V2bzWO2c4Kfn56SM_9YHoJKKAp5dRWZQI6cid1euf3zFJMGq/s1600-h/196.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364077195949132962" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7MJJx7n4fuRP4TQ7Q3dWPmwX_fpF1Dm6Xw2WyfIgQE-bYOUOVVLnPT61arNmLcSMns9ZQX0r-9YBIInQCj4UpnfJdimz7V2bzWO2c4Kfn56SM_9YHoJKKAp5dRWZQI6cid1euf3zFJMGq/s320/196.JPG" /></a></div><div><br /> </div><div>I have to admit it is still strange thinking he has a computer in his chest. If it were only the computer part that was tucked right under his collar bone, I think I could handle it. But it is the fact that he has two wires running down through the veins and screwed into the heart chambers that leave me just a little squeamish. But the comfort of knowing that his heart will now never beat below 60 over-rides what fears or uncertain feeling I might still have. Neal's doctor came in Monday night to see him and said Neal's heart rate was actually dropping into the 20's. That is not a pleasant thought. In trying to comfort me and let me know that things were going to turn out fine, Neal said, "I've got good anatomy!" I have to agree, but it sure sounded funny when he said it!</div><div><br /> </div><div>Neal was given a Boston Scientific pacemaker:<br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIKbJbgR_IcYwtCQpMrTXyQz4IuzmI3LiOpz-rMvP4liJ17ozlJKdNHIjsVsPlq7T8oD_VJe6s3RH-oI5cmEiFePKV_kvR10PIgO4sZnTP6OfEZXT9g_OqbEboW-GqWx3_4PBY39xUp8L/s1600-h/Boston+scientific+pacemaker.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 172px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364079077126040082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqIKbJbgR_IcYwtCQpMrTXyQz4IuzmI3LiOpz-rMvP4liJ17ozlJKdNHIjsVsPlq7T8oD_VJe6s3RH-oI5cmEiFePKV_kvR10PIgO4sZnTP6OfEZXT9g_OqbEboW-GqWx3_4PBY39xUp8L/s320/Boston+scientific+pacemaker.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /> </div><div>Thankfully this hospital stay didn't have any of the excitement of his last stay.

For one, there is only room for one person on top; and two, it is so easy to fall off. But I do, however, admire people for the good things they do and the good people they are. One of these people I highly admired I knew over 20 years ago. We had just made the move to Portland and this man was in our Stake Presidency. President Tolliver was a quiet man with a giant spirit about him. He was always so kind and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">compassionate</span>. He was the kind of man you wished you could spend more time with so his goodness would rub off on you. We eventually moved but would still run into him and his sweet wife, Coral, in the temple periodically. When we moved we happened to move into the same ward as President Tolliver's daughter. A couple of years ago President Tolliver passed away and his daughter brought me a copyof his Funeral Service program. I was touched that she would think to do that for me. I read it and slipped it in a drawer in my living room. A few months ago I ran across that program and took the time to remember warm memories of this quiet man. As I was thus reminiscing, I made a wonderful discovery! I had only known him as "President" Tolliver. But as I was reading the program I discovered his first name - Wesley! My heart jumped with joy as I made this discovery. My precious little grandson shares a name with this most humble of spiritual giants! So to my dear little Wesley, you share a name not only with your great-grandfather who you are named after, you share a name with some one I admired quiet a lot in his life time. Yay for WESLEY!</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic2Nj5IkYp9AOk3VopwaKjts_z5IbXHUkIglCAIn6lQsiUTKe6_N0Ybf-ZbGVgYI6i7ikxHUJH6XX4FylgHOiWlpj4AH2O_0hnDbXL56yF9tXRikONawVnQcWdbPycfAy-2NUesnekZkIE/s1600-h/DSCN1107+A.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 290px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358034261323351554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEic2Nj5IkYp9AOk3VopwaKjts_z5IbXHUkIglCAIn6lQsiUTKe6_N0Ybf-ZbGVgYI6i7ikxHUJH6XX4FylgHOiWlpj4AH2O_0hnDbXL56yF9tXRikONawVnQcWdbPycfAy-2NUesnekZkIE/s320/DSCN1107+A.jpg" /></a></div>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-68427946343574988112009-07-11T14:53:00.000-07:002009-07-11T15:50:59.232-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#330099;">A Walk With Friends</span><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><div><span style="color:#ff6600;">Today we had some friends pick us up and introduce us to one of their favorite places to take a quiet Saturday walk.

The doctor said it probably wasn't anything to worry about, that Neal <em>is</em> getting a little older, but that he would run a few tests jut to make sure. So the next day, Thursday the 21st, I drove Neal down to the clinic for some blood work and a resting EKG. Much to our surprise and shock the resting EKG showed Neal's heart rate at 38 so the doctor told Neal to "go home and get your toothbrush. I'm admitting you to the hospital and you're buying a pacemaker this afternoon." So we drove home, got Neal's toothbrush, called Bishop Westover and his son, Tom, to come give Neal a blessing, then drove to the hospital where Neal was admitted. </div><div><br /></div><div>Neal did not get a pacemaker that afternoon. The cardiologists, Dr. Patel and Dr. Walker, came in and talked with Neal and said they wanted to make sure he hadn't had a heart attack, so a series of tests began. Thursday afternoon Neal had an echocardiogram - that came back absolutely perfect. Friday morning he had a resting stress test with the radio active dye pictures - those came back absolutely perfect. Friday afternoon he had a walking stress test with the radio active dye pictures - they came back with some tiny shadows. So Saturday morning Neal had an angiogram done - and that came back absolutely perfect! Now we have undeniable proof that at least this auditor really does have a heart!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzs_zoy-oZHNeoBjwD963OP1cbizPdB4FD-7v71ILpvhFU7ZGAVLQGopkNC8OD6dDhx8Hb8__0OJjDGapo4NdROVl1QPAnIMQQvePeFFWNWaUFhGaUrOVlntZ-S_9wFaecUUsQoB5tLHPl/s1600-h/scan0002.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 315px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348818604577221618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzs_zoy-oZHNeoBjwD963OP1cbizPdB4FD-7v71ILpvhFU7ZGAVLQGopkNC8OD6dDhx8Hb8__0OJjDGapo4NdROVl1QPAnIMQQvePeFFWNWaUFhGaUrOVlntZ-S_9wFaecUUsQoB5tLHPl/s320/scan0002.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>So as it turns out, not only are all the plumbing parts of Neal's heart absolutelly perfect, but all his blood work came back perfect also! But he does have what is called Bradycardia which means he has a slow heart beat. His heart rate has been running anywhere between 34 (right after the angiogram) to the mid 50's. Right now he is wearing a monitor that records 24/7 for 30 days. He will then meet with the cardiologist the later part of July to evaluate what should be done at that point.</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfxE71N2nbclNyQyKF6anDKNBx1QwbpHGwB2r6IaB__ALXVXZ4o0dzUontSPCJYgNlek8r4_IGWm21HosCwfpvri-vDWgmeAgJb9AW9n3ZOg9DeGpQU9x1aP7Oh9yXZkXkw4Qhvn7ijqcm/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348827687966751602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfxE71N2nbclNyQyKF6anDKNBx1QwbpHGwB2r6IaB__ALXVXZ4o0dzUontSPCJYgNlek8r4_IGWm21HosCwfpvri-vDWgmeAgJb9AW9n3ZOg9DeGpQU9x1aP7Oh9yXZkXkw4Qhvn7ijqcm/s320/012.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2RO0Ykf67afyQQYZItu-gZGYWwL-0QfbYLIpsZR-06u9rXdt64zslEN7Q7g8vPY2jEYIN7r_AtDWANDLu4F8xStlXDnjFdO8yz1wfqCLmZpViIG4uoVjqy0_6ZRVi2lS_YrIrC3gbRoB3/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348826614977017058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2RO0Ykf67afyQQYZItu-gZGYWwL-0QfbYLIpsZR-06u9rXdt64zslEN7Q7g8vPY2jEYIN7r_AtDWANDLu4F8xStlXDnjFdO8yz1wfqCLmZpViIG4uoVjqy0_6ZRVi2lS_YrIrC3gbRoB3/s320/017.JPG" /></a></div><div></div><div></div><div>There was one absolutely hilarious event that took place the first day that gave us something to laugh at during all of this.</div><br /><div>When Neal was admitted that Wednesday, he was first admitted to room 7001 on the Neuro floor because there weren't any rooms available on floor 5, the cardiac floor. When we first got to the room and were waiting for the nurse to come in and give us instructions as to what to do, I noticed that there was a wall that didn't go all the way to the ceiling. Curious, I walked over to the door and peeked in. Low and behold it was a bathroom. I thought, "that is odd that the walls don't go all the way to the ceiling. It doesn't give you much privacy. And, wow! What a large toilet! I wonder what they do to need that large a toilet." (I know, I am rather slow to figure things out! I also need to back up and tell you this wing of the hospital is brand new, just opening the previous Monday and Neal was the first patient in room 7001.) Well, the technician who did Neal's echocardiogram was explaining the perks of the room and as it turns out this was a bariatric room.</div><div></div><div></div><div>So after the echocardiogram was complete, the time came that Neal needed the use of this very new and very large throne. So I pulled the curtain, helped Neal into the parially enclosed bathroom, and stood guard at the door. No sooner had I taken up my post than I heard this enormous crash coming from Neal's bathroom and Neal immediately saying "I'm okay, the toilet seat just broke." I then turned around to see just about every nurse from the floor at Neal's door! I assured them Neal was alright and he would be out soon, but the toilet seat broke. All those nurses just stood there like thay had no clue to make of what had just happened. So I repeated that Neal was just fine and he would be out soon and that the huge crash they heard was the toilet seat shattering! Things finally sunk in and the nurses left the room and I was able to get Neal safely tucked back in his bed. As soon as I pulled the curtain back the parade of nurses began to inspect the broken toilet seat! </div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>My initial feeling was, "oh, no. We broke the toilet seat. I wonder how much that is going to cost us." Then when I could see the nurses weren't mad at us and that they were actually appologizing to us, we started laughing that we broke their toilet seat! Then we got to thinking about it and were actually kind of glad it happened to us and not a patient who really was in need of the "perks" of the room.</div><div><br /></div><div></div><div>One of the things the nurses did when they came and checked Neal's vitals was to check the pulse in his feet. As a nurse came in to check Neal's vitals later on, we found a little blood from a small cut on Neal's foot from a piece of the shatterd toilet seat. Well, that really made the nurses nervous and they gave us a gift certificate for the gift shop! Again, I couldn't figure out why they were giving us a gift certificate until Neal said they didn't want us to sue them over his foot getting cut. I guess I just don't think like most people! So we used the gift certificate to buy Wesley the most adorable little monkey!</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKjycY1hKLsJvOxsKL-GLjlnbvG0ertjbdKzTaQyJ7uNBYUcvhpBAF5-7e6ss5drjPQp2M-u7EmfeI9DNKnW5UjbB6ea0OAG6phBViwuYekuWeA2avdjoKBeRGgDMJ6RHB9bFpRX9PyQoS/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348827018613119938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKjycY1hKLsJvOxsKL-GLjlnbvG0ertjbdKzTaQyJ7uNBYUcvhpBAF5-7e6ss5drjPQp2M-u7EmfeI9DNKnW5UjbB6ea0OAG6phBViwuYekuWeA2avdjoKBeRGgDMJ6RHB9bFpRX9PyQoS/s320/002.JPG" /></a> </div>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-72811285168587837902009-06-06T10:18:00.000-07:002009-06-06T10:44:32.481-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#333300;">Date Night<br /></span><div><div> </div><div>When Alicia was just a small little tike, our date night consisted of playing games after Alicia went to bed. We were poor and we didn't have money for babysitters, plus I didn't like getting babysitters. I really didn't like spending time away from my family. So when we made more money, we kept with the tradition of playing games after she went to bed because I didn't like spending time away from her! Then as she grew we turned out Friday nights into kind of a family date night with home baked pizza and either games or a movie.</div><div> </div><div>These were some favorite game during these years. </div><div><br /> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCLW25Twio95CWIY9nIlIj0X2e9XLCdTC6XTbDyqpvHvOybegS6-2Fku_Bb1YNwMudYLjtAyJHQczUjNtKFbUaWkFwGnp8QzkOBkQeyK6L0aqkVWWZdudJRbtF-3BIrE_j-ZYofhHmJSa/s1600-h/skip-bo.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 178px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344266466946155314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKCLW25Twio95CWIY9nIlIj0X2e9XLCdTC6XTbDyqpvHvOybegS6-2Fku_Bb1YNwMudYLjtAyJHQczUjNtKFbUaWkFwGnp8QzkOBkQeyK6L0aqkVWWZdudJRbtF-3BIrE_j-ZYofhHmJSa/s320/skip-bo.jpg" /></a></div><div> </div><div> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHUNrUbtgCcLBcIEhP7UtDp861_Jnw8Zz_cByjXDPLMpig3soYnPRA1jzFKK-nUdWJiyigGS9GcnIlVr4LOnQ_zZf2jtU9-FgJ37wV4pvthgY2T-BGOD69JaJzCnZQtfhIWmU2NPOMaU2D/s1600-h/Clue.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 211px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344267911126563874" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHUNrUbtgCcLBcIEhP7UtDp861_Jnw8Zz_cByjXDPLMpig3soYnPRA1jzFKK-nUdWJiyigGS9GcnIlVr4LOnQ_zZf2jtU9-FgJ37wV4pvthgY2T-BGOD69JaJzCnZQtfhIWmU2NPOMaU2D/s320/Clue.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEwzT4-45cHx2iYRcck1UMa2P07_uU58pG4LiERg80qAzSKSJ7MgGoMriZjaXxVozbVoDX0cAiX1Y9dBLllJumVsVN2vrtf0uIungcdmHi-I9yYrGi1oilkhrxhv8mFpEomcjP1gMFv4X/s1600-h/Hand+n+foot+game.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 102px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344267513514643074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzEwzT4-45cHx2iYRcck1UMa2P07_uU58pG4LiERg80qAzSKSJ7MgGoMriZjaXxVozbVoDX0cAiX1Y9dBLllJumVsVN2vrtf0uIungcdmHi-I9yYrGi1oilkhrxhv8mFpEomcjP1gMFv4X/s320/Hand+n+foot+game.jpg" /></a> </div><div>When Alicia went away to college she used to call and tell her Dad that he needed to take Mom "out" on a date.

March 28 Neal and I were called once again to be ordinance workers in the Portland, Oregon Temple every Friday night. And although we don't get to see much of each other while we are in the temple we have an hour of uninterupted time in the car driving up and back. But I love the feeling working in the temple brings into our home and relationship. Before our calling we attended the temple each week, different nights depending on our schedule each week and always stopped off at Burgerville on the way home for an ice cream cone (Burgerville has the best soft serve ice cream in the world, by the way!) And we still keep up the tradition of getting our ice cream cone on the way home! Life really doesn't get any better than this! </div><div><br /> </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh_nt5Fw2E9qSF5U14h6KSRy6dpLO2ozAPGu153L5yzjRdPdJZcAVcI-RUikNBBr8T-uxYPrgKJPPqLLGBo8IdMrr3Z5EmPHV3FvOfwxlsggxBA-SmkuwTRDheSJ9R79gO4wFN4Wl5XTen/s1600-h/100_5186.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344266177990257858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh_nt5Fw2E9qSF5U14h6KSRy6dpLO2ozAPGu153L5yzjRdPdJZcAVcI-RUikNBBr8T-uxYPrgKJPPqLLGBo8IdMrr3Z5EmPHV3FvOfwxlsggxBA-SmkuwTRDheSJ9R79gO4wFN4Wl5XTen/s320/100_5186.JPG" /></a></div></div>Neal & Sharahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15329844009665143554noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890429237800714118.post-45490290796037012812009-06-05T10:21:00.000-07:002009-06-05T10:43:51.077-07:00<span style="font-size:180%;color:#000066;">Monsoon in Salem</span> <div><div><div></div><br /><div>Yesterday was the heaviest rain storm I have ever seen. Neal had a doctor appointment at 1:30 that I accompanied him to. When we went to the appointment the sky was blue and the temperatures pleasant. I threw my sweat shirt in the back seat of the car to wear to Wal-Mart after the doctors appointment. As I drove to Wal-Mart around 3:00 I noticed the wind had really picked up, but didn't really think anything about it. Around 4:00 we could hear the rain pounding the roof of the Wal-Mart store. I thought "Oh great! I'm going to drown going out to the car." But I hoped that since I still had more shopping to do the rain would ease up by the time I went to the car. Well, Neal called at 4:10 and said there was a tornado watch and that it was raining like crazy and could I please come pick him up. Well, I promptly forgot about getting the rest of the items on my shopping list, raced to the checkout, paid for my very large cart full and made a dash to the car. To say the least the rain had not let up and I was being met with not only the largest rain drops I've ever encountered, but the largest raindrops coming down in torrents. By the time I got my purchases depositede in my trunk and the cart returned to its stall, I looked worse than the proverbial drowned rat! I was soaked through and through. When I got down to pick Neal up I looked like I had just taken a bath with my clothes on! You could literally wring out my sweat shirt! By the time I had gotten Neal from work, made a quick stop to deliver a very important birthday wish, and got home, the storm had pretty much passed and the rain was back to normal heavy Salem rain. The lightening and thunder, however, lasted a few more hours.</div><div></div><br /><div>I have to say it was a beautiful storm. I wish I could have been home with my camera instead of driving in the river that used to be the streets of Salem! And my poor kitty, he just layed there and quivered. To let you know just how severe the storm was and how much my kitty didn't like it, he didn't even finish his dinner! That is one bad storm! </div><div></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:78%;">Here are a few pictures I got off KGW's website of some of the rain and lightening we had yesterday.
