WEEK in REVIEW pretty much

Not much to write about so I copied from my Journals (yes plural)

My niece Janette and her family (except Eric who is at CAL POLY) are in town visiting and staying with her brother Michael who lives in Riverton.

Those of us who could, met there for dinner and a visit tonight.

Most all of us brought steak and Michael and Janette’s husband John barbequed them on the back deck.

Janette and I commiserated a lot and I think we are good for each other.

Those there were Michael and his two boys Ryan and Matt; Janette, John, Nina, Adam and Kate, Christina and her two girls Kiera (sp) and (oops I forgot the little one’s name). Brent and Linda and Judy and me. Also Janette’s mother’s sister. (Kathleen?)

I think having the connection with her mother’s sister(s) helps give her a connection. Janette’s mother is dead and she has no relationship with her father.

I think I am a substitute for her father and am proud to be so.

About mid afternoon, I started having pains in my chest. It was not the first time I have had this, but I decided they were bad enough and long lasting enough that I went into the emergency room as a precaution. I was there for around two hours until around 11:30 p.m. (I think). The electrocardiogram was near normal and the blood work was excellent but because of my age (67) and my sex (male) and the fact I am diabetic and have high blood pressure they want me to have a stress test.

My blood pressure was quite elevated; so much so that went “Ryan” stuck the IV in my arm, blood squirted out all over the place. He spent several minutes cleaning it up.

(Two days later I am still forgetting to call and make an appointment for the stress test.)

Earlier in the day, Rocky White (mostly) and I took the bed frame over to his house and he did a two step lacquer job on it. It looks wonderful. Rocky and half the neighborhood commented on how good it looks and how good a job Corey and Rocky did on it.

I think Corey and Rocky have developed a good relationship.

Rocky is a painter by trade and our high priest group leader. He only lives a few doors away around the corner.

Today was our Easter because half the family are going over to their in-laws tomorrow.

Most of us went over to the pool for a dip after eating . The walk over there about did me in but I was fine in the pool even chasing and being chased by grandchildren.

After we were finished, Greg drove his truck around and he and Corey put the bed pieces in the back and drove to Corey and Stacey’s, hauled it up stairs and around several corners; into their bedroom and put it together.

Thank you Greg (and thank you Niki for giving up your husband for several hours.)

I made it through all three hours of church though I was a little bummed out before it was over. I was tempted to go home after Sacrament Meeting as I often do; Judy even asked me if I wanted to, but I stuck it out.

Pretty much a lazy day.
