Sheral and Dick Visited Today
.

Today we got a surprise call from Sheral and Dick. They had taken a weekend vacation away and went to Jackson. They wanted to stop by and say "hi" while they were this close, so I asked them to come and help us eat that chicken tortilla soup. They drove in through the slush and mud and we had a good visit before they had to go on their way. We thought it would be another same-o day but having them stop by was a nice break. That was fun.

I went out this morning and got a few photos of the drifts after the wind blew yesterday. Probably they are higher by another foot or a foot and a half. One of these days they HAVE to start getting smaller.

Yesterday Betty and I had our usual phone visit. We talked about possible versions and dates for she and our friend Nancy coming to the ranch to visit - sometime in May, and how we can coordinate a sight-seeing trip back to Nevada together. I want to end up in Vegas in time for Tayler's graduation. So we will have much planning to chew over in the weekends to come before we get some kind of itinerary. Madelaine also called and what a good visit we had. We don't see each other very often but she is one of my favorite people. Today Nanny called from a hill above Wickenburg while Ken prospected in a ravine, so that was a fun experience to share. I'm so lucky to know such wonderful friends.

This weekend is the LDS General/World Conference, so I've been watching a lot of it on TV. Its the first time I've seen the new President Munson since Gordon B. Hinkley died in January. What inspiring and spiritual speeches the men of the church have gave. Saturday the choir was all of BYU college age young people and what a beautiful job they did. Even the primary young women sang in a choir. Today it is the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
