Yesterday Blair, Philline, Becky, David, Joddi & Wendy came to see us. It was so nice to visit with them. They brought us their car. They had bought a new van. They are going to put our home in their name and pay us so much a month. We have not worked out the details. Joddi and David washed the car and spent all day yesterday and washed and cleaned the car. Brenda called Patricia and Patricia was upset about Ronda. I know it was because she felt Ronda might get hurt again. We pray not. Aunt Velma and Uncle Jack came but we were at church and we missed them. Darn it!
Today I climbed the pole in the house for the grandchildren. They thought I was funny.

Yesterday Wallace had some severe heart pain and trouble breathing. I called the doctor after the pain had subsided. Wallace was resting. The doctor said to let him rest but if the pain returned I was to call the ambulance and take him to the hospital. He has slept quietly. Last night Wallace slept fine. He had to urinate several times but did fine. Glade called last night. They are fine. Both of them are going to school. Glade said his commanding officer came to his office to tell him what a good job he was doing. We have not heard from Ronda for a while. We pray that she is doing ok.

It has been a while since I have written in this book. The sun is shining today but this morning it was so white and it was zero this morning but it was like a winter wonderland. Gloreen, Darwin" and Charlene's daughter has been with us since last June. We have got along very well and we have enjoyed her most of the time. This last month she has been unhappy with us because we felt that LeeAnn Bezold was not good for her. She and Gloreen talked about sex and going all the way. To us this was very wrong and we told Gloreen that she was not to go to LeeAnn's home. She went without our permission in fact she felt that we had no right to restrict her in anyway. She and LeeAnn decided that Gloreen would be better is she was not in our home and she could do whatever she pleased. She was going to Idaho Falls to live. I don't know what she thought she was going to use for money. I found a letter she wrote so we took her home before she could carry out her plan. We were very upset. Charlene said that Gloreen would finish up the year in Pocatello. We pray that she will graduate. We love her. Rom is in Price with Ronda and boys.

Today Blair & Philline called. We have a new grandson. He was born at 10:00 this morning. He was six weeks premature. He weighed 3lbs 9 oz. He was 16" long. Blair was in Boise with the ball team when Philline went into labor. They called Blair. He got there about an hour before the baby came. She was in labor about 12 hours. Her mother was with her. The baby is in Pocatello hospital because he is premature and also so small. Blair said he seemed to be ok. We pray that he will be ok. We had Tyler with us today. It is so much fun to have him with us. He is so good. Brenda took her little boys wrestling to Blackfoot. She did not find Blair home. LaVar took Wallace around the north side of the lake today. Wallace said there is a huge amount of water going into the lake. They are pumping it out but more are going into the lake than they can pump out.

Feb. 16, 1985
Last week LaVar & Brenda went to the wrestling tournament at Boise. Kevin was wrestling 115 class. He won his matches. He is State Champion in his weight class. All the boys that went down to the tournament got drunk. Some of the boys went home with their parents and were not involved. When the boys began to drink Kevin left. We are so proud of him!
There was a lot of snow last Friday and the wind began to blow and we had a real blizzard. The freeway 15 was blocked as well as other roads. School was out. School was out several days before because of cold weather. It was 50 below zero one night. It never got above zero for about two weeks. It is ten above zero this morning, seems wonderful.
Rom is with Ronda. She went to the airport in Salt Lake and picked him up. We pray that everything will be well with her. We worry a lot.
Brenda called Patricia last night. Brenda called me to tell me what she had said. Russell had wrestled and came in 4th in district. He got to go to State. He did not score in State but that was good. Larry & Patricia had gone to wrestling matches. Larry is still having a rough time with his health. Patricia said they are taking it one day at a time.

Last night Ronda called. She had hoped and planned that she and Rom could get together and make a good marriage. She said that he said unless she moved to Canada, and quit school that he would not come to the states. She was so upset because he blamed her for all their troubles & her family too. She called about 12 o'clock. She needed moral support. He surely can make her feel that she is nothing. He has had lots of practice. He has had eleven years.
We called Patricia after we talked to her. We felt that she needed someone else to tell her that she was special and that we all love her. I asked her to promise me that she would call Bishop Coleman this morning. I hope she keeps her promise.
Last night she was even unsure of God's love for her. She was worried about her car and I am sure money in general. It won't be easy but she can make it if she can build up her self esteem again. May God bless her and give her strength and courage.

This morning the furnace was off and the school was so cold. We worked and was tired, but feel better tonight. Brenda & Tyler had lunch with us today. We enjoyed them very much.
Today was Grandpa's birthday. He is 69 years old today. We worked this morning. Brenda came after ten a.m. and we went to town with her. We had dinner together. Spent time getting groceries, Kevin had to see the Dr. Jake & Tyler also saw the doctor. I went to see the Dr. to see about my tests but they did not know. I have a wonderful husband. God bless him.
We went to see Kevin & Kim wrestle. Kim was so tired because he had to run, jump rope, etc. So he lost his match. Kevin was sick and he won his match but it was too hard on him. He did very well. I hate to see them make sports more important than health.
Wallace is sick this morning. I am sure he has the flu too. Brenda is sick. Kelly is home sick. Lots of flu around. We are going to the Dr. to take Wallace.
Brenda has been very ill. Yesterday and today. This evening I took her to the emergency room. The Dr. said she had the flu and she must have lots of fluids. She is to call him tomorrow and tell him how she is.
Went to LaVar and Brenda's to get dinner. Brenda has been so sick. Wallace was not well either but he slept while I was gone. Kelly, Kim, Tyler, & Jake have not been well. LaVar has been sick but he has been out patrolling.
Went to work, Wallace also. He did not feel well but he took care of the furnace. I went ahead and cooked dinner for LaVar, Brenda, Jake & Tyler. When I got home from work in the afternoon I slept.

Today we went to work and then Fern Edwards came down and said his brother Rex was sick. I went down and called the ambulance. He is in intensive care. I went to see the Dr. and then we went to the temple, a very good session. The high priest treated everyone at the Sizzler who went to the temple. They were trying to get fourty families to go. I'll bet they about made it. It was very special.
Fern Edwards called last night. Said his brother Rex was some better. He had eaten part of a meal and the Dr. felt better about him. Today was a hectic day at school. I don't know what made the difference.
Today Kevin and Kim are going to wrestle. Kim is having a hard time with his weight. Gloreen is going to Firth with the girl's basketball. We went to the wrestling match. West Jefferson had 46 and North Fremont 16. Kevin pinned his man in seconds. Kim made his weight.
Worked today. Kirk, Kelly, Jake and Tyler stayed with us. LaVar and Brenda went to the wrestling matches at Sugar City. They ran off the road and came very near coliding with the school bus and cattle truck. We prayed for their safety. God blessed them. We are so grateful.
Today we worked. We had all our hours in but we could not leave the school like it was. The kids were with us again. Tyler went with me to work and he was an angel. Gloreen went to a ballgame here. They won their game. They sure needed a win. (Varsity)
Today Blair called. He told me about their trip to California. They had a good trip. LaVar called & wanted us to come down and watch the wrestling match. But Wallace has not felt very well so we stayed home. Patricia called. She does not think Rom could change so soon but like Blair said we hope and pray that it is true.
Tuesday we had 41 couple from the High Priests and 30 couples from the Elders who went to the temple. All from the Terreton 1st Ward. Very Special.

January 1985
Wallace and I had a very Merry Christmas. Ronda & boys were here. Blair, Philline and family LaVar, Brenda & family were here on Christmas Eve. Ronda brought Brother & Sister Roberts from Price Utah & their four daughters. Vonell got her engagement ring for Christmas. Darin was here with her. On the first day of 1985 I am so grateful for a warm and comfortable home and for a loving husband and wonderful children, grandchildren and 2 great GC. Gloreen, Darwin and Charlene's daughter came today. We will all go to school in the morning. Wallace and I to work.
Back to work today. It was hard, my body aked(ached). I will have to get into the routine again. Some fellow called about the truck. It would be such a blessing if we could get out of debt! How I would like that!
Today was a work day. I am still tired. I guess the sale on the truck fell through. Kirk, Kelly, Jake & Tyler stayed with us for a couple of hours. Vonell came after them when she came home from town. It was so nice to have them with us.
Today the man called about the truck. We will get enough from it to pay the bills against it and less than a thousand left, not much for all the work Wallace did on it, but we are glad to get it sold because it was costing us $100.00 a month for interest on the loan we had taken out on it. Disgusting!
Wallace & I both worked hard at the church. We came home very tired. Brenda cut our hair. She is under pressure, always so much to do. Alden & Julia called. She has healed up from her surgery but she has to see her cancer specialist on Wed. She is very apprehensive. They are going through a very bad time.
Today was fast and testimony meeting. It was about families. Good meeting. Charles & Evelyn, Shalene, Thommy, & Johny were here. We enjoyed their visit very much. Today we got our temple recommends from the bishop. It is a very good feeling to feel worthy of a temple recommend.
It has snowed all day. We hate to see it snow because Wallace has to shovel snow. Jake & Tyler had supper with us. It is so much fun to have them with us. They like to eat with us. Tyler sits on grandpa's lap. They both love it.
