Post Vacation Pre Wedding

Hi Family wherever you are. I highly recommend Alex's tour of his house. I had no idea. I pictured something a little more apartment like and made out of cement.

Thanks Jenni for all the phone help with the wedding. I'm in a serious dessert dilemna. Do I need more desserts? I am totally out of me. I don't think I have time to plant the garden and make cookies, but I really want to make cookies. I think I will order them from BYU tomorrow or forget it. Excuse me. I get off on a wedding jag very easily. Other than that, everything is going smoothly. It's supposed to get up to 80 plus degrees this weekend. It's pretty cool right now. What a harsh climate. Remember that when you see anything blooming or growing. It's all a miracle.

Tommy says he's having fun. I would love to hear the details. Food is expensive in New York, and he has no kitchen facilities. Sounds like an adjustment all right. I talked to Rilee on Mother's Day. I can picture her in Central Park on Sunday talking on the phone. I'll bet it was beautiful there.

Travis and Agata just got back (I think) from L.A. I want to hear about that trip, too. I'm quite impressed with palm trees and Southern Calif. beaches, but how is L.A. itself? Remember Travis this summer while you play around. He will be learning Russian. We are all excited to meet Agata's mom, Barbara, this summer.

Jenni is finally feeling better. It's still raining in Seattle. I actually envy that. It rained all during our trip back East (except for the last day and a half.) I decided that rain is okay (a real Seattle attitude I aquired there). I think rain is wonderful. After walking on ice for months, we will shortly be scorched by too much heat. I love rain.

Danny is busy fixing up his den (cool) and working in his backyard. He loves his neighborhood and feels lucky to live there. He gave us a computer tour of the house on Sunday. It has a very pleasing porch and front door. Charming. They survived their forced move with style. And they are glad it is over.

We have enjoyed visiting with Dawn and Tyler, playing with Laurel, and making wedding plans. It will be fun to see Dawn's family and to meet her uncles. Thanks everyone for taking the time to come to the wedding.

We had a great adventure back east. I love the Appalachians (what I saw of them. I want to see more.) Maryland was beautiful. Baltimore was clean and friendly. ( I realize we were in a tourist area.) Movies on airplanes can be fun. They showed us two on the way home. Enjoyable. The plane was full of high school kids and I think they thought they might riot. So two movies in a row. We flew over a huge lake. It took about 30 minutes or more to fly over. What could be that big? Then we flew over desolate land forever. I'm think we went north over the great lakes (or one of them) then over South Dakota or North Dakota. There certainly are large tracts of unpopulated land is America. Mostly I saw lake and nothing on the way home, in between watching movies. It was a very clear day and I was by the window.

If you are ever in Cumberland, Maryland eat seafood at the Baltimore Grill downtown. They know how to cook. Yum.

See all of you except Alex soon. Alex, keep writing and calling. We need to know.

Love, Mom
