I read all your comments about dad's blog - so be sure to read mine!

Meanwhile. I've discovered that I seem to have very few functions in life for the moment, and many things I'm not allowed to do!
for instance - I'm allowed to go to work, go to church, go to either grandma's to be sure they are alive and well (or at least alive) and tend grandkids (which I'm not complaining about - they are the highlight of my otherwise dull life)
Apparently I'm not allowed to read. I'm not allowed to be sick. I'm not allowed to make any independent decisions even if I'm trying to take responsibility for something and not bother dad.
Can you tell I've had a bad week?
Your blogs are all so much more fun than mine - Anne

Anne Loves To Read

LISTEN UP!!! There will be consequences for the next person who says to my wife, "You've just got to read this book". There may be serious pain added as part of the consequences for the next person who gives her a book, or several books and says, "You are going to LOVE reading these".

My prediction finally came true. The house was burning. I was down on the floor choking and coughing after calling the fire department. I was screaming for help. When the firefighters arrived they told her to get out of the house NOW. Her response . . . Just let me finish this chapter.
I ended up dying in the fire, but she won't be able to come to my funeral because there is one more book in that #@!*%!@ series that she HAS to read.


This is how bad it is. She read one book while we were in Fremont. It was great. She relaxed, I puttered around, everyone was happy. When we got home she was really tired, so she only stayed up 'til midnight reading the next book. Then she decided she was too sick to go to work, go to the ward party, go to church or anything else, but she finished 2 more books.
Interestingly enough as soon as she finished the books, voilĂ , she was cured and back to work :)

Red Cougar


Dad bought himself a new "toy". Now he doesn't think I did my homework when I bought my CRV - but I did, he just didn't want to help me. Now it's his turn - he did his homework, but bought the first truck he actually drove! (sorry honey - turn about is fair play).

Hopefully all of you can attempt to visit Grandma Jackson on her birthday (Wednesday August 13). We are having a BBQ in our back yard - actually gran's side yard, and she doesn't care if you stay or not, but she would really love to see everyone! (no gifts, cards are great, hugs are better!)
