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.
