Seestors' Conference Call

Yesterday evening we Seestors had a conference call to plan our Seestors' Retreat. I have to say what a blessing it is to have the modern capabilities of keeping in touch such as being able to visit with my sisters via conference call. We talked about how fast email is compared to regular mail, and then Bonnie compared it to texting and Twitter (I'm still not sure what that is) and how immediate that form of staying in touch is. Anyway, just wanted to mention that.

Maureen talked about being a little disappointed that more posting isn't being done on the family blog. I think it's because everyone has their own blog, but I hope we don't let it dwindle away. Facebook is great, but the Family blog is better for talking about things that concern only our family. . . . . Just sayin' "somebody post on here once in awhile, will ya?"

Down with the Osmonds.

Hi Everyone!  So, this is totally random, but I had to get on and tell you this.  I got a new job and one of the people I work with is... (wait for it!!!)  AN OSMOND!!!!!   I can't be the only person in our family who remembers yelling "Down with the Osmonds, Up with more fireworks!" as we left Stadium of Fire, lo those many years ago. Right?  Please tell me some of you remember it, too.  I think Sarah was just a baby when this happened so that would leave a lot of you out of this story, but it is kind of family lore at this point.  So anyway, I tell Dave (Osmond) the story about our fireworks disappointment and he responds with "oh, I think that was just about the time my Dad started beating me."  Maybe you had to be there, but it was really funny.  Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that I have finally been able to let the Osmond's know about how disappointed we were with their performance back in 1980 something. 

PS- Congrats, April and Lindon!  Can't wait to see pics of the baby!  Hint, Hint.

Hi Family,
For some reason I haven't been able to get on the family blog for a long time.
I just got a new computer, tried getting on the blog again, and it worked!
I just now saw the thing about my birthday, I'm sorry that I'm not 39 too.
Just saw the picture of Mom on her 49th birthday.  I can't believe she was just the age I am now,
I miss her so much!  I love and miss my family, it seems I am missing out on so much that is going on in everyones lives.  Congratulations to the Tokos on their new arrival.  I got the picture mail at work today it was great. what a cute little baby.
I love you all,  Love Maureen

Such a Beautiful Day

I know I've probably bored everyone to death with talk of the beautiful weather in the winter here in Presidio, but I have to do it at least this one more time (probably will do it again sometime). Here it is New Year's Eve . . . I'm used to being at least half frozen on New Year's Eve. Today the sun is shining (as it does 99% of the time here). We just got back from the Post Office. I am wearing shorts and a short-sleeved t-shirt, tennis shoes and socks, but I could be wearing sandals, and no jacket.  It was warm enough in the house that I have opened the windows to let the fresh air in. I know when summer comes we will be roasting in the 115 degree heat, but right now, we are loving this. Thank you all for letting me brag a bit.
