We made plans over a year ago to go to Disney World again. It's one of our favorite places. After waiting over a year it was hard to believe it was time to go. Kent left a week before for his Oracle Convention of which he is the Vice President of Finance on the Board. I joined him May 7 after all the meetings were done, I've gone before and been on my own while he was busy, but I would rather go with him, so I waited until the convention was finished. We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge this trip, patterned after Old Faithful Lodge in West Yellowstone. They even had their own geyser and hot springs. It's amazing to me how great Disney is at creating things. It was as if we were in the woods in the Lodge, not in the middle of Florida. The vegetation is so great there, when you are going down the man made river, you have the feeling you are alone in the wilderness. Two things were bad, it was hot, hot, hot and I really wished my grand kids were there to share it with us. When it comes to Mickey, we are just a couple of big kids. The food is just way too good everywhere. Our favorite dinner was at Cinderella's Castle with Fairy Godmother and the mice joining us. We were so ready to come home though, partying everyday wears you out!

It's a Sad Day
Last night I had to take pictures of my tulips.
Tomorrow winter comes back. But today my
heart is sad because a friend has died. Since
we moved to our condo, I've been visiting
teaching with Gay. Two years ago,her husband
died and she missed him so. In December she
got the "flu" and just couldn't seem to get
well. She found out her 16 year old
granddaughter was going to have a baby
and it was so upsetting for her, she thought
that is why she couldn't get better.
Two weeks ago they found she had lymphoma.
She went into the hospital and never came out.
She was a very service oriented person, always
doing something for someone and saying hello
to the neigbors. Her street is going to have a
an empty space which can't be filled. She was
the ward chorister and choir practice was at
her house. Her father, who is 102, gave her a
blessing that she would get well and go home.
She did go home--to her Father in Heaven.
We'll miss her. I'll miss you Gay.

Just Another Family Picture
We began our party trying to get a picture of all the kids together. Ha! Zach cried for Mommy and Ashley thought she had better join in. Braden wanted to play catch me if you can. Just a typical family gathering. But aren't they all so cute and handsome?
