Wallace is in Pocatello helping Darwin with his house. I was not feeling well so I stayed home. There is still lots of snow here. People are concerned about the lake. It is almost at flood stage and we have had no run off at all. Brenda and I talked to Ronda yesterday. She was working at the hospital for the first day since her accident. She said they were doing fine as a family. We pray that everything will work out fine. We pray that they will stay close to the church and that the children will grow up to be good and wonderful people and good citizens. We have not heard from Larry and Patricia. We pray that Larry is better. We pray that the doctors will know how to help him.

Glade came home the first part of the week. It was so wonderful to see him. He looks good and said that he was doing very well in the Air Force. We had such a good visit. Thursday he went to Logan and brought Penny and Michael and we met in Pocatello and all went out to dinner. It was so special! There was Wallace & I, Charles & Evelyn, Blair & Philline & baby Rebecca, LaVar & Brenda & baby Tyler. Darwin had to work so he was not there. Charlene was with us. Glade & Penny & Michael their baby too. We had such a good time. It was great! Penny looked so good. She said she has been doing well. Their baby is due in June!

Brenda & I have been getting up at 4am to oil paint. I finished a picture of swans flying over grass and water with he Tetons in the background. I have just about finished a group of three of flowers. It has been so much fun. Today was Vonell Summers, LaVar & Brenda's daughter, Baccalaureate. It was very nice. Jack Gerard talked. He graduated from West Jefferson High School a few years ago. Graduation is Wednesday the 23rd. Patricia called. She said Larry was feeling much better and they are going to spend the weekend with us. There has been a lot of flooding in Hamer & Camas. Mud Lake is at flood stage. They have been working on the dike and we pray that it will not break. This is a hard place to make a living. It has taken so very long for the area to develop. It would be very bad for this area if the dike should break. There have been lots of prayers for this area. Evelyn's father died May 15. He had been sick for so long. They are a very close family and because he has needed so much care he will be missed so much by the family especially his wife. She is such a lovely lady. Her name is Alberta Smuin. Evelyn's father was Thomas Franklin Smuin. For Mother's Day and my birthday Blair & Philline took us out to dinner. We met them in Idaho Falls and then we spent some time the next day. They came out on Sunday and spent a very nice afternoon. It was so nice of them. They gave me a bouquet of red roses and purple flowers. They were so beautiful. I needed some oil paints and they brought me two tubes. Nice! Patricia called and Ronda called. I will be so glad when we get a telephone so we will be able to get our messages first hand.
