LOOK WHAT IS GROWING!

WE ARE STILL GETTING SOME GOOD STUFF FROM OUR GARDEN. WE HAVE HAD AN ABUNDANCE OF PEPPERS OF ALL COLORS. THEY ARE PRETTY GOOD SAUTEED IN A LITTLE OLIVE OIL. WE JUST PICKED THE CANTALOUPE TODAY AND IT WAS VERY TASTY. ONE OF THE OTHER GARDENERS GAVE US AN EGG PLANT, WHICH WE COOKED UP FOR SUPPER.

HERE IS AN UPDATE OF OUR UPCOMING ACTIVITIES. SATURDAY WE ARE GOING UP TO KRISTIE'S. I WILL GO WITH HER TO THE RELIEF SOCIETY CONFERENCE SATURDAY NIGHT. I WISH I COULD GO WITH ALL OF MY DAUGHTERS. SUNDAY IN KRISTIE'S WARD THEY ARE HAVING THEIR PRIMARY PROGRAM SO WE WILL ENJOY WATCHING THE GIRLS.

BEGINNING ON MONEY WE ARE GOING TO A 5-DAY "FREEDOM EDUCATION WEEK" HELD AT UVU. I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT A LOT OF THE SPEAKERS ARE CONSTITUTION EXPERTS. I WILL REPORT WHAT WE LEARN.

SHERRY & JEFF RETURN FROM THEIR MISSION AND ARRIVE IN SLC ON MONDAY NIGHT SO WE HOPE TO GO TO THE AIRPORT. WE WILL STAY AT KRISTIE'S OVER THE WEEKEND AND HOPE TO GO TO A CONFERENCE SESSION IF WE CAN GET A TICKET. THEN, ON TUESDAY WE FLY OUT OF SLC TO PITTSBURG TO SPEND A WEEK WITH JULIA. WE GET BACK ON THE 13TH OF OCT. THEN TO TOP ALL THIS OFF, WE WILL DRIVE TO OCEANSIDE AND STAY WITH CAMILLE AND ANYA WHILE SHAREEN AND MIKE SPEND 8 DAYS IN SPAIN AND ENGLAND. HOW IS THAT FOR AN ITINERARY!

FUN IN WASHINGTON

BESIDES ALL THE EXCITEMENT OF WELCOMING BRIAN HOME, SUNDAY WAS ANOTHER HIGHLIGHT. BRIAN GAVE A WONDERFUL TALK. WE WERE ALL BURSTING WITH PRIDE (EVEN THOUGH WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE PRIDEFUL). KYLE ALSO SPOKE, BUT DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME. HE GAVE A NICE TALK ALSO. AFTER CHURCH WE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND THEN HAD A NICE LUNCH AT BECKY'S HOME. EVEN KINLEY AND HIS PARENTS WERE THERE. I HAVE TO SAY KINLEY'S PARENTS SHOWED UP AT CHURCH JUST AS CHURCH WAS ENDING. THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY A TWO HOUR DRIVE.

WE DROVE TO SEATTLE ON MONDAY AND STAYED WITH THE DOMANS. THEY HAD A BARBEQUE WITH OUR OLD FHE GROUP. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO SEE OUR OLD FRIENDS. OLD FRIENDS ARE THE BEST FRIENDS!

DORENE, DEBBY AND I SPENT SOME TIME SHOPPING ONE AFTERNOON.

WE SPENT A FEW DAYS AT DEBBY AND AL'S BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON WHIDBEY ISLAND.

THURSDAY WE TOOK THE ANACORTES FERRY UP THROUGH THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS TO FRIDAY HARBOR. THESE PICTURES SHOULD MAKE YOU ALL HOMESICK FOR WASHINGTON. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY. NOTHING COULD BE NICER--WONDERFUL COMPANY AND AMAZING SCENERY. ENJOY!
