Victoria Lynn

Elaine is in Texas with Sarah Jane's family. Russell has about another week to go before his last year of law school starts. This is the semester he will also need to job hunt to obtain gainful employment so SJ may stay home with their daughter & any future children.@ this stage of growth & development. Presently SJ plans to return to work the end of Oct or first part of Nov when her maternity leave from work is over. She hope to work some @ home if they will allow. Victoria is healthy & strong. She has parents who want her in their home, who cherish her.

Wednesday evening Elaine did some kind of face because SJ said to her, "What's wrong mom?" pause, "I miss your dad." In no time flat SJ shows Elain this flix sent via email from Mary @ Washington County Fairgrounds the school buses demolition happens & the first thing I see is Charles truly enjoying the moment. I could hear Mary, Charles & Samuel talking & laughing. Mary was even able to get a glimpse of Samuel, who, by the way, has a pair of new 'cool' glasses for school (he needed his perscription changed anyway)

Elaine remember eigth grade in school to be the 'clickiest' year she ever had when segregation of 'types' of people seemed to matter too much to most students. Her friends from Young Women help her out a lot. That was also the year her dad took her family to live in Missouri after Christmas. She hated it @ first & let every one know it too. But then she didn't hate it at all.

Carolyn has called quite a bit this week. She's trying to make it into UVU still. Her fafsa was sent Priority Mail last week. She missed the June 30th can do it all online deadline the info went snail mail. Carolyn keeps gathering what is needed. She is a Spanish maid in another play not far from Orem. Performances go FS&M evenings thru first part of September.

Emily is all moved into Goodson's. She & Carolyn share the blue bedroom that Carolyn did have all to her self. They each organized their 'stuff'' as Sam would say. Most is under the house in storage boxes well labeled. Emmy is especially helping Grandma Fay this weekend who has a painful back. F Fay will go to the doctor Monday to get it checked out. I thanked her for helping my mom. I think Emmy has a very tender heart.

Mary has a cold from too much fun @ the county fair. She taught in Relief Society. She called me to say,"I made it thru Church" :-> She had both Sat & Sun off w@AnnTaylors. She continues to meet with those who are on the planning commity. Yes, she finally has help to organize & execute the plan for September's Single Adult Conference. She definitely knows the city better than I do now thru her research for the conference. She continues to help Habitat for Humanity in Washington.

Grandpa Wm Dale Goodson went on Facebook! He has such a hard time hearing even with his hearing aids while he's with a group of people that email has been a staple for him. Now he has another means of communication :-}
