We got snow in the mountains. Brrr...

We went to Heber today. Blair had to make a delivery. The leaves were beautiful!

Sheila had a tooth pulled today and she gets two new crowns next week. She doesn't look like she's in too much pain. She's brave.

We had a nice drive to Ogden and Logan yesterday. Blair had to make a few deliveries, so Sheila and I tagged along. I went for a nice walk with Heidi and Benji this morning. Then Sheila and I went to Aunt Pearl's funeral. I loved seeing my cousins and my Aunt Leone, Aunt Shirley and Uncle Warren.
This afternoon we took Hailey to Cabela's for an early birthday present. Sheila got her fishing license while we were there, so she's ready to go. We then went to a Smith Family reunion. It was nice to see more cousins, Aunt Helen, Aunt Claudia and Uncle Gilbert.

news update...

Just watched the news about that horrible accident. No serious injuries. It was a miracle. I'm so grateful.

The Travels of Blair and Laurie

We just got back from Vegas. We left Saturday. Blair had a delivery in Ivins, and a delivery in Henderson. We couldn't believe the fire that was raging out of control in New Harmony. We only hoped it wouldn't burn the homes down. The next day we learned a few homes and other buildings were destroyed. So sad. Vegas was filled with smoke from the fires burning in California. The winds were just blowing like crazy while we were there. We had In-N-Out for lunch 3 days in a row. I enjoyed a cheeseburger with grilled onions. That was sooo good! We're thankful for sweet Karen for taking care of Sheila while we were gone. On our way home the fire in New Harmony looked almost contained. There were a few hot spots. We were diverted off the freeway near Beaver. A semi rammed into the back of another semi. The cab on the rear semi was totally smashed in. It was a miracle if the driver made it out alive. We stopped in the next town for gas and learned from the Highway Patrol that a car was between the two semi's. I wept for them. I'm thankful we made it home safely. I'm thankful for my wonderful family. I'm thankful for good neighbors who look after our home while we are away. I'm thankful for brothers and sisters who are so kind and thoughtful. I'm thankful for children who help me out when I forget what I'm doing.
