This morning when Wallace got up he had severe angina. He went back to bed and went to sleep. When he is quiet the pain goes away. When he woke up he wanted to go to Blackfoot to see the new baby. We went to the hospital to see Philline. She looked good but tired. The baby was taken to Pocatello because he was so small. They took the oxygen off last night after he was in Pocatello. Blair and the kids were going to Pocatello to see the baby but because Wallace was not feeling well, we came back home. We stopped in Idaho Falls and had supper. Very nice. 2 degrees below zero last night. I guess it is good because of the lake.

Today Ida and George Emery and their daughter Linda came to see us. Ida has oxygen on all the time. She was so tired. We were so glad to see them. It was such a beautiful day. There is still lots of snow but the sun felt so warm. They did not stay very long because Ida wanted to go home. I hope she will get out often. It will make her stronger. George looked good. Linda is going out some. There are four women who have lost their husbands, they get together and have fun together.

This morning it has snowed a little but it is zero again. I don't suppose it will ever get to spring. Heavenly Father is blessing us because of the lake. If it got warm real fast the lake would go over.

Today was Kelly's birthday. Saturday Jake won three of his wrestling matches. He lost one. Kelly and Kirk did not get a metal but I'll bet that they will. We saw the new baby yesterday. We got to touch him in the isolette and he is just perfect, so wonderful. He has started to eat. He is taking Philline's milk which she has pumped out. He has gained 4 oz. since Thursday, in three days. Darwin & Charlene's boy Jared, has got into some real trouble. Hope they will be able to get things straightened out. We called Patricia last night. They are doing fine. We are planning to go to Salt Lake the first week in April. We will be with them on Easter. That will be special. The roads are slick and the police have asked people not to travel. All main roads were blocked such a blizzard! Worse of the season.

Blair & Philline's little boy had some trouble. He had fluid around his heart and a heart murmer. He lost down to his birth weight. Wallace went to Blackfoot yesterday and the baby was doing fine again. He weighs 4 lbs. now. It has been beautiful weather for about a week. The lake is being pumped and it is going down. So that is not a problem now. Hope the situation does not change. We plan to go to Bountiful on Thursday. I have an appointment with Dr. Wilson and a mammogram.

A week ago tomorrow Wallace and I went to Bountiful Utah. Patricia made an appointment with Dr. Wilson for a mammogram. When we got to Utah we found that Larry was in the hospital and that he would be having surgery the next morning April 5th. He had a colostomy. He is so amazing. I think he is so used to pain that surgery is easy. Anyway he got along fine and they hope this will take away all the pain he has been having. If they would have let him he would have got up off the gurney and walked to his bed. We left Monday and he came home the next day. When we got home we found that LaVar and Brenda's Kelly was in the hospital. He has been bleeding from the rectum. They do not know what is the trouble. Uncle Alden called. He sounded depressed. He said Julia was loosing her hair and she was depressed. Wallace went to Blackfoot to sell the truck on an auction but was not successful. We saw Blair and Philline's baby on the way home. He is doing fine. So cute.

Last night we took Orin and Effie Petersen to Rexburg. My Uncle Fremont Fullmer died April 26 at Salem Idaho. He was my dad's brother. The last of daddy's family. Uncle Fremont & Aunt Gilda had three daughters and two sons. We understand that both boys are dead. One was killed in an auto accident when he was a teenager. We found out one boy is still alive. Today is the funeral. It will be in Sugar City because the church house in Salem is being remodeled. Alden & Julia were at the viewing. Julia looked good. Alden said she was tired. We had a very nice evening. We went around the college then out to Parker and to St. Anthony. It was where Effie grew up. Then we went to Rexburg and had supper together. It was a very pleasant evening. Effie is sometime negative but she was not at all last night. Phillip, Blair & Philline's baby has had a rough time. He was in the hospital again but Sunday we talked to them and they said he was home. That he seemed to be doing ood, had gained some weight.
