This is the "pillar" at the entrance to Memorial Park with the plaque commemorating the founders of the park and the quotation at the bottom of the plaque.

Dear Family (and maybe some friends?),
Nearly two months have gone by since I promised to get into posting more often! My intentions were (and still are) good, but you know what they say about 'good intentions'? They are the main ingredient in the "asphalt" used to pave the highway to the "nether region". But, the same old excuse, we have been busy! See Stacey's blog for some of our activities. And, we were called on another "mission" by our Bishop back in mid-January. It is a three month mission to 'read good literature', the classics. And we get to choose what those classics are. Most of our 'spare' time has been spent in pursuing that "mission call". In the meantime, and probably as a result of our pursuit of the 'classics', Grandma and I are heavily engaged in a project that will likely take the rest of our lives to complete. It's a mystery to be announced later but here is a clue: In a little park in the center of a city not far from here is a plaque with a quotation engraved on it which reads: "A people who takes no pride in their ancestors will never do anything worthy to be remembered by their descendants." Soooo.......??????? We love you all.

I promised that we would get caught up with blog-hopping and posting but time has a way of slipping by when your busy. Thank you all for being patient. I have been able to get through all of your Blogs and am fascinated with what all of you have posted showing your family life. I am very impressed by your values and how you express your love for your spouses and children. I even got Grandma to sit with me and read through all the new postings. We both feel so blessed to be allowed a glimpse into your family life. It brings us closer together and gives us a warm fuzzy feeling toward you. Hopefully, we can post a few pictures soon to give you a look into our life (Which seems quite common-place when compared to some of yours!). Keep those cards and letters (and comments) coming! It helps to know that someone is interested enough to visit. I guess that works both ways doesn't it? We love you!
